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
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.
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).
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
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.
