    Default realistic flags

    well, they won't allow a post like this back in paradoxplaza, so im hoping it's allowed here and i wont get too much flame. here goes...

    any mod that changes the flags to historically accurate ones? namely germany's and japan's? i'm not a nazi or anything, i guess i just want it realistic as possible.

    i hope i don't get any flame here. there's a minimod for a mod (FH) for bf1942, and it changes the flags into historically accurate flags, so i'm under the assumption here it ain't illegal.

    if it is though, sorry

    In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.

    The GIP-mod includes historical flags for Germany and Japan if I remember correctly.

    What? How is modding flags a sensitive issue? I'd say there is something more that your not telling us

    well, the above posts basically tell what i'm not telling. actually, i did already mention it, that i wanted realistic flags (which implied swastikas and japan's imperial flag), and that it won't do in paradox's forums

    Swastikas and such are not allowed in Paradox's forum, apparently you can't even request them.

    Paradox goes really overboard with these things. No mention of concentration camps of any kind is allowed, no swastikas or stuff like that. You cant even use pictures with swastikas in them when writing an AAR.

    According to the Theory of War, which teaches that the best way to avoid the inconvenience of war is to pursue it away from your own country, it is more sensible for us to fight our notorious enemy in his own realm, with the joint power of our allies, than it is to wait for him at our own doors.

    If you can play as Nazi Germany, why the hell can't you use the proper flag? I can bring Hitler to dictator-of-the-world status but I can't fly the flag.

    Huh.

    If I made a mod on that game I'd put a swastika flag in it and use a scene involving the flag as a menu backdrop just to spite them. Posting up previews and such on their forum with the flag clearly visible....

    Your thread would be deleted and you would be banned in no time.

    I get the feeling that this is a more sensitive issue in Europe than it is in North America...

    In the German version they even spelled Hitler's and maybe other Nazi leaders names wrong on purpose.

    It's a sensitive issue in Germany I believe, and a lot of Europe also. It's understandable I guess, as the German people are genuinely sorry that they allowed him to mislead them, and they make a lot of attempts to separate themselves from that past. I do know that many European countries do disallow Swastikas and the sort.

    They're just trying to make sure that if there ever is a forth reich it won't be in europe. On the otherhand america is kinda too open to it. It isn't a good substitute anyway . Just look at america it could control the world if it wanted to.

    Off-topic, but no it couldn't. It's powerful enough to significantly influential, but it wouldn't have any chance at control.
