Also in response to this, I’d say just naming it “Republic of China” is gonna be what they do. Gaijin will probably not strictly refer to it as Taiwan, Republic of China (1911/1928-1949) as if they do then it commits to one side without committing to another.
If that makes sense? Fence-sitting the flag.
Believe me, when China’s technology tree develops a navy, the addition of the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan ships will bring the flag of the Qing Dynasty.LOL
He means thailand, thailand is a sub of Japan and is liable to get the VT-4 at some point
Actually, if people on the forum were to call themselves the Republic of China honestly, I wouldn’t have much aversion, but I really don’t understand why it’s called Taiwan. It’s the first time I’ve heard of using a province name to refer to a country
Scotland, England, & Wales are all legally countries. Lichtenstein is an actually country with foreign relations and that can fit comfortably within the M25 motorway that goes around london. San Marino is a hill, Monaco is a race track, and yet they have foreign relations & domestic policy like anywhere else. I don’t think either size or using the name of a province is any barrier to being known as a country.
He’s gonna flip when he finds out that a huge number of people refer to the Netherlands as “Holland” lmao
I understand ROC is not a sub-tree in the usual sense of the word, but I don’t know a more fitting term.
They are in the same tech tree but under the flags of the different political entities that operated them.
In that way, ROC is comparable to east german (DDR/GDR) vehicles in the German tech tree (where the east german flag is available as an option)
I should’ve used that as my example, imagine my shock finding out that “Holland” is just two provinces and not the entirety of Netherland. When I was young, I thought they were interchangeable!
According to the theory of that group of people who mocked Chinese players at the time, this is just a game, bro. Why involve so many political issues? Gaijin made changes, so just accept them, right?
For a lot of people (including a lot of Dutchies), they are!
I don’t care, gaijin can be kept or removed, but if it really has to be removed, please return my 500ge, because I actually bought it to stick on my CM11.
Well, because it is internally inconsistent is why
You don’t have to involve politics to see why excluding one particular operator nation’s flag is unfair
I’m just guessing that like Zulizila said, it’s just because they haven’t got the country flag coded for ROC/Taiwan and hopefully they add it eventually.
country customisation: the following flags can no longer be chosen: 50-star USA, German Empire (navy), Weimar Republic, Russian Empire (navy), British Empire, Republic of China, Republic of Vietnam Navy
wtf???
Andorra is another example of a fully fledged country that used to be a part of a different country.
Iirc all those flags are naval ensigns or war flags and might be changed for the proper flags
Welcome to the party
Removing the TW flag was not requested by Chinese players; it was Gaijin’s own action. Chinese players will have no objections to this matter because we follow your advice to ‘no longer care about politics.’ It’s just a game, brother.
Yeah probably this. If it works like the in-game Localization feature, they don’t have the national flag mapped.
