If you don't care about the history, that's fine. Some do. Everyone has different things they'd like to see in the game, that's to be expected.
But I'm baffled by the pointless attacks on anyone who would prefer something more historical. Why am I "a joke" just because I think the history is important? Why can't people who like the history side express their desire for that, just like anyone else? How is it somehow a sense of entitlement to express what we want? There's ten pages here, mostly full of people asking for this bonus or that reward that they personally need, but somehow the people asking for more historically connected events are showing a selfish sense of entitlement and should just be happy with what we're given? Even when most of what we're asking for has nothing to do with what would benefit us personally?
A big part of the disconnect here, IMHO, is that WG set a standard. Most of the events have been based on rewarding people for playing the tanks that were actually there. It was a nice nod to history in a game which (as has been pointed out repeatedly) generally doesn't respect history much in any other aspect. They're moving away from that, and some of us feel that's a loss. There's really no part of that which deserves the assault it's gotten.
