Custom flags functionality

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.

Of course! It is Gaijin who makes the decisions. I’m just here to talk about why this one is wrong.

Don’t bring politics into this discussion about the ROC flag, which me and others believe is unfairly subjected to a different set of (arbitrary) rules than other operators/subtrees.
