Gaijin’s continued silence on this is both completely unsurprising, and speaking incredible volumes
Credit where it’s due, @TheKnightOfZero pops their head in here now & again to tell us to behave.

ROC ingame is shown as this “Military Junta”, having military flag instead of the country’s flag.
I understand the heated part of this situation, politics etc.
However, I don’t understand why they cant add ROC as a real nation until 1971(When ROC left UN and became known internationally as Taiwan) after which they could just give Taiwanese vehicles a ROC Army flag.
I think this decision would upset the least amount of people.
(Edit) Or they could just let us add custom flags like they do with ingame sounds, sights and camos

A kind way of saying they were booted out (voted out).
Either way, it shouldn’t matter. If Vietnam’s flag is available. Taiwan’s should be. Geopolitics has no place here.
ROC not in UN is not problem ,and If add "ROC"Flag ,China Player have free to choice their want.
And Gaijin can win both different group player.That mean more money for Gaijin.
Is double win.

It’s not even a question of 1971. Until 1949 there was no other China then the RoC, even the PRC accepts that and allows it a place in its historical narrative.
There is no reason not to add the RoC flag since vehicles in this game have served under that flag when the RoC was the only China.

I work as a software engineer. It does not.
But I totally fails to see the pupose of this custom flag. Why would anyone want or use this feature? I just don’t get it.
Its fun.
But in reality it’s probably because of the upcoming United Korean tree. Gaijin has never really had the problem of making a TT with two national flags to choose from. It could also be a quick way to solve the Thai VT-4 issue. A fair amount of Chinese players disliked a Chinese-made vehicle being in the Japanese tree, so to avoid the problem just make it so the tech tree can actually represent Thailand by itself.

It’s the feature I never asked for, but I am enjoying.
Gaijin was smart about it, also. You only see the flags that you set for a nation. You’re not imposing your flag on others. Others don’t see what flag you’ve set for a nation ingame. Pretty smart, imo.

Chinese TT is mainly PRC, hence why many see ROC/Taiwan as a subtree. United Korea would literally be two equally sized nations. Kind of a harder TT to balance than CHN w/ one flag
I don’t know what you guys are discussing, but I just want to say - If we can have a Columbia flag for Israel because of a single event vehicle, we can have a ROC one for vehicles that make up a substantial part of the Chinese tree (especially air).

I don’t know the exact ratio but IMO it shouldn’t make a difference. ROC is not a subtree, it is also China. It makes up basically all the lower tier vehicles and a fair amount of mid/high rank ones as well. ROC absolutely deserves a flag.

I agree.
I’m just hinting at why the actual flag function could’ve been added. Mostly to do with controversies surrounding Tech Trees (Japan w/ Thai VT-4, United Korean, Israeli tree, etc.)
