Authenticity ≠ Realism

DICE never stated that Battlefield is in any way, shape, or form, realistic. They try to be authentic while still remaining fun. Authenticity and realism are very different from each other. For example, the gun models and sounds attempt to replicate their real-life counterparts accurately, yet, we can revive soldiers killed by 125mm tank shells. Map settings stay true to what they depict, but players can eject out of a burning jet, aim an anti-tank launcher at a pursuing aircraft, and blow it to pieces.
