That is a potential solution to this argument, and one I personally support.

However it is contentious still because some would like it to be known specifically as the 1928-1949 flag instead of a general representational flag, and hence this has not yet become the status quo solution

Actually, we’re still using this flag, it’s just that we no longer control the territory in China. It’s a bit complicated.

Recognizing or not recognizing a country is political so thus your argument is invalid if we go by Gaijins official stance of no politics

That’s incorrect, is the German WW2 national flag available? Or the vichy France, etc?

But the point is not that, it’s that ROC was at some point internationally recognized as legitimate nation of China. This timeframe is part of the game, so the flag should be. This way it is up to the player to customize and whether they want to have the ROC or PRC tech tree. Why they decide this is not relevant because it is not part of the game.

I want to have a Vietnamese techtree for example, so I will select Vietnam. Do I want to make Vietnamese lineups? Do I just like the flag? Do I think Vietnam is the legitimate government of China? Or maybe some other reason?
Doesn’t matter because no other player will ever be affected by the decision.

I don’t think it needs to be honestly. Its not explicitly Taiwanese and its not explicitly Pre-1949, so you can’t really make an argument on that honestly.

There are no vichy french tech in game

If recognizing or not recognizing a country is political, then your argument is as invalid as mine, and the status quo is taken to be correct.

The RoC is not recognized as a nation by the PRC, and legally also not by a majority of nations on earth. However, it is recognized by itself, 12 other nations, and informally by a majority of nations on earth.

Stop using this argument it is not the same and the WW2 german flag is seen as a hate symbol, this would work if this was about the now removed Rhodesian flag (was on the Hunter FGA.9 on release).

1st
not recognize by who
by
International
or by
China

A stylised version of it is.

That one isn’t but it should be, as should the flag of the free french forces.

I don’t want to argue with you about this. Otherwise, the examples I bring up will just get hidden again.

Whatever you like, I don’t care.

Wait that got removed? Why not just use the southern Rhodesia flag instead of the independent Rhodesian flag or something as that would still be more correct without the controversy

yes but a more appropriate version of it

It was available when the dev server open however since the latest dev update it seems like it has been locked and hidden and cannot be equipped

my argument is simply that yours breaks Gaijins rules, and if we go non political treating both equally should be the middle ground not going far into one option

A stylized version, as it is a recognised hate symbol in most countries.

Vichy France never officially used the flag you think they did. This flag was the Personal Standard of Philippe Pétain, not the national flag. You’ve played too much HOI4.

iirc this was De Facto aswell, never official. ROC from 1928-1949 was not a de facto, so bad comparison again.
