Only problem is with what you said about BFV.
A female in a WW2 videogame is ok. It's not a history book, it's a game. Besides, if a female is included in the story as a member of a resistance (Norwegian, French, Austrian, Polish, etc.) or Russian, it wouldn't be inaccurate. As far as multiplayer goes, they have stated it has character customization. And my motto on that is the more the better. If I can make a female soldier and pretend she's from the Polish Underground State and fulfill my history nerd dreams of fighting in the Warsaw uprising in a videogame, I will.
No one complained about females or blacks in wolfenstein, and that's in the 60s. And any excuse of "well if your not historically accurate in WW2, that means your downplaying the holocaust" is false. Addition of females does not, in any way, equal holocaust denial
They way I see it if the game is good what he -blam!- does it matter.

True that, even some Russian irregulars were women during WWII at that time, but did not last long (either KIA or unit dismissed after a short period of time at the front), i can sort of buy why a female character is in the game. And you're right, it doesn't matter as long as the game is good. As far as story or character go, i want a good story and good character, who they're gonna be intimate with can be sprinkled here and there to give us a glimpse into his or her intimacy. Only thing i hate about that is the whole: hey look! I'm gay! please notice me!
