I seriously doubt it was a 3 month patrol... maybe  a 3 day one but not much more.

What i like it that i see a classy guy with driving gloves. Oh where are the times where people wore driving gloves, driving hats and driving goggles....

Having a windshield, leather steering wheels and a/c really improved the driving quality.

The guy in front looks like he skipped a leg day or two, looks may deceive but he doesn't seem to have the legs to carry around 50 kg on his back for too long.

Oh wow. The Aleutians campaign, that is truly a forgotten war. Red Orchestra 2 did some maps in the pacific campaign, but I have never seen an Aleutian map. Did those islands see heavy combat?

Ik Attu saw plenty of combat when it was being retaken from the Japanese. FH1 had the Adak island map that I loved so much because of how obscure it was ;D it was really scaled down tho. Would love to see a realistic Aleutian map, but that place is so featureless idk how you could make it fun
