In the very early versions, it was the national flag, but later it was changed to what everyone sees now.
From what I remember, the top tanks back then were the Tiger and Panther.
I agree that they should add the correct flag, my biggest issue with the said rule is not allowing naval flags, why? A naval main person should be allowed to make their hangar have naval flags.
Parity probably. Allow Naval flags and people would complain about no Army or Air Force flags.

Gaijin’s stance towards Taiwan is going to completely ruin the game. Put Taiwan in the US tree and there are no more problems. Give us the Taiwan flag.

Add all flags, we’re the only ones seeing anyway.
In fact like I suggested on my first comment, let us change the PNG willy-nilly then we can put whatever we want there, it’s client sided after all.

To me, the circle argumentation that has been happening in this discussion can be summed up pretty easily.
There are two major arguments made:
1: Adding the RoC flag would be political because it goes against the diplomatic stance of the PRC
2: Adding the RoC flag would allow individuals opposed to the PRC to express their opinions within this game
Both arguments rest on Gaijin’s statement that it as a company and War Thunder as a game are non-political.
However, in the case of argument 1 it can be said that this in and of itself is a political statement, because not everyone follows/accepts the diplomatic stance of the PRC. This is very much being done so in this discussion and is likely the main reason it’s gotten so heated.
And argument 2 would cause a double-standard because such an argument would not only affect the Chinese situation, and we should not promote Gaijin do more double-standards, and hence leaving the only options to either add the national flag of the RoC, or remove this feature entirely.
Adding on to this, people who would want to oppose the PRC by using the national flag of the RoC can already do so because it is already in the game as a decal, which can actually be seen by other people in the game, as opposed to the client-only national flag feature. There is nothing stopping players from putting the RoC decal onto PRC equipment already.

this thread is crazy
im just gonna voice my stands and knowledge on this
the topic of “Taiwan” or commonly known by the Chinese player base as ROC(Republic of China) is controversial
International users across the globe usually agree that Taiwan is a country, while most CN users disagree and state that Taiwan is a part of China and not a country(include my chinese friends, which also believe that Taiwan isnt a country-but hes unsure of it since he now lives in Canada and his opinion fluctuate)
Now for the government side, no government would officially state that Taiwan is a country due to “politics things” and if they do so it would just make relationship between them and China go bad, so you would not see any government officially say it
Now personally, i dont wanna get slimed by mods for politics so
Just add the ROC flag, if the CN players(which from reading this thread) goes “its just a game”, then they would have no issue with ROC flag being put into the game
I feel like a big one is also the ROC from 1928-1949 used this flag, why can’t players use their WW2-Era Chinese National Flag when all other WW2 National Flags are available?

this is “The Flag Problem” but its in WT instead of a nation issue on making the flag that represent them(Canada for example had the flag problem and change from the Red Ensign to the Maple Leaf)
