Battle in the Rain: The map Otori Shima takes place during a heavy downpour.

Battle Cry: The Japanese have a very notable one, which, interestingly enough, gives them a buff:.

Japanese players in return have access to mobile 'knee mortars' and are greatly more effective when charging into melee. The Americans also have exclusive access to the Flamethrower class. Most notably, the Americans have unlimited access to semi-automatic M1 Garands as compared to the Japanese bolt-action Arisaka.

Asymmetric Multiplayer: The American and Japanese factions receive different classes, weapons, and even encourage differing tactics and approaches.In addition, the Marines are shown using the wrong weapons, uniforms, and even planes for late 1941, and would have been more appropriate for late 1943 at best. In reality, the Japanese troops that assaulted Wake were members of the IJN SNLF, or Japanese Marines (the same Japanese troops featured on Betio).

Artistic License В– History: The Otori Shima map, which is partially based on the Battle of Wake Island, has IJA soldiers attacking the Marines.

However, the island itself resembles Cape Gloucester more than it actually resembles Wake, in particular the heavy rainfall and dense jungle.

Artistic License В– Geography: Otori Shima, a map based on Wake Island.

While the game is considered part of the franchise, it doesn't have 'Red Orchestra' in the title at all because it's set in the Pacific theater. Manila no fukushu ja! (Revenge for Manila!) And finally, the M2 Flamethrower, a weapon not introduced until late 1943, is made available for the Flamethrower class, rather than the more appropriate M1A1 Flamethrower. In addition the uniforms of the Marines are shown to be the ones they wore from 1943 onward, rather than their 1942-issued uniform which bore similarity to the ones worn by the Army. While the US Marine faction there only has access to the Springfield and BAR for their Rifleman and Machine-gunner classes note The US Army was receiving Garands due to priority of their demand over the Marines, while the M1919A6 LMG would not be introduced until late 1943, the American planes depicted on Henderson Field are shown to be F6F Hellcats, an aircraft type that wouldn't enter frontline service until 1943.

Zig Zagged Trope for Guadalcanal, a map set in 1942.

However, there are some noteworthy cases.

Anachronism Stew: Mostly averted, as the maps made by the Rising Storm Team and Tripwire are reasonably accurate to the actual locations they're based on.

America Won World War II: In contrast to the first two Red Orchestra games, this game depicts the battles of the United States Army and Marine Corps against the Japanese.However, the creator of the map later said that the map was based on the Battle of Angaur, which did have a phosphate plant there. Aluminum Christmas Trees: Apparently, some players thought that the Phosphate Plant map was an entirely fictional location.
