I think you're sensationalizing this. This is a 1942 battlefield game attempting to depict historical accuracy.

Would preferred if they were best friends in this war game and shot rainbows at each others?

Sorry "depict historical accuracy". Seriously? It is a game, it doesn't depict anything accurately.

I don't find offensive, but I can that people would; I don't think a WW2 game is particularly amusing for the people who fought in the war and saw their friends die.

Really? Would you think that those people would also be offended by mentioning the war[1], making fun of "Mr. Hilter"[2] or the idea of Kamikaze Scotsmen[3]?

Also, it is a fact that most games only let you play as one faction that usually have some very bad luck[4][5][6], be them real or not.

If this game was a Wikipedia article, it'd be tagged as saying that it doesn't have a neutral POV. Who do you think the Russans, Germans and Japanese thought were the enemy? Certainly not each other.

The U.S.S.R. was on the side of the Allies (U.S., Britain, France, et al.), not Japan and Germany.

At the end. U.S.S.R was on the side of Germany for years during WW2. [1,2]

After all, they enjoyed invading Poland with Germany, massacring quite a few Polish folks. [3,4]
