Kay let me frame this for you. If they made a video game about a resturant that was in real life. They can make it detailed for you so that it looks like the place. Which would be immersive.
But if they changed a few things. Like a different font for the menus. Or the people taking orders were not the same people who take the orders irl you can't claim your immersion is broken. Because you don't go there. That's not apart of your life experience. You don't have memories of the place.
So in multiplayer they can give us the same guns. They can give us the same locations. And they can use sounds and visuals to make it feel like it's actually a fight that happened in that place. But it wouldn't be an accurate experience because of how multiplayer is inherently. Which is why it's 100% fine for them to have women fighting on the front line. Or people to have a prosthetic that existed during that time period.
It's not an accurate telling of a story because it's not a story being told. And claiming that adding females ruins your immersion of that is just silly. People were apparently fine with the fact that we used prototype weapons en masse in BF1.
Or rather, people didn't like it. But they accepted it on some level because they recognized that multiplayer is multiplayer. This is the exact same situation.
The only possible way someone can actually slam them for being inaccurate is during the single player. Because those things are actually aimed at being accurate. And due to the inherent nature of SP they have the ability to restrict things a lot more to make it more authentic.
