Gotcha. As I mentioned, I don’t play competitively enough, nor do I participate in high-ranked squad play, etc. Do we think this is significant in that tier of play? Generally, I know information about the opponent’s team is always important in more competitive scenarios.
I have a feeling Gaijin might be a little biased toward the People’s Republic of China.

Gaijin is biased towards money. Excluding the Taiwanese flag is a political decision but ignoring your own rule about not being political in the persuit of money is an age old thing.
It does raise the question about why the North Korean and South Korean flags are allowed though. Flags which are politically sensitive in both nations I believe. I’ll let you decide why that decision was made.

I guess money is indeed above the law (or rules in this case).
Not what I wanted but it will do for now.

Welp, this settles it, it’s intended, time to draft our suggestions.

These reports mention the current (ROCA) flag being missing from the selection, which they have a good excuse for. What they can’t excuse is the reason it’s the Army flag in the first place, since that makes no sense at all compared to other nations in game.
Now that Japan was changed from Army to national flag too there might be a chance to get a change here.
Maybe it’s a valid bug report that the Republic of China incorrectly uses military (Army) flag while nations are meant to be represented by the national flag.

I’ll let you make that, in the meantime, I’ll start drafting the suggestion if your report is not classed as a bug.
I’m sorry to say a report of this kind has already been rejected. Two weeks ago.

They didn’t elaborate. I’ve also tried to reach @Smin1080p_WT for a official explanation but so far no luck.

Ofc we doesn’t have Taiwan flag, what did you expected from a company founded in Russia, after they refused to call T-84M oplot T-84 and put it in the Japanese tech tree that wasn’t a huge surprise they refused to put Taiwanese flag in the game. Afterall that was a logical conclusion because a mayority of their player base chienese, it’s like you won’t put Ukrainian flag to Russia when more Russians playing the game than Ukrainians.

I don’t want to assume anything, I want an official explanation. If the decision is right then they should be able to defend it.
Also, the ROC national flag is already in the game. 1. Languages menu, 2. As a decal in World flags.
All we’re asking for is to replace the ROC army flag with the correct national one.

“Please do not use bug report site for suggestions” Welp, straight from the horses mouth, I’ll start drafting a suggestion.

Money is the reason, we all know it, millions of chienese players would be upset about the Taiwanese flag. And gaijin doesn’t want to risk reputation or money in Asia / in China. (and we all know Gaijin is Russian sided so that means they’re on China’s side too unlike Taiwan’s side, I’d use Taiwan’s flag instead of China but most likely the Chienese players spending way too much on the gaijin to worth to risk a Taiwanese flag implementation in the game.)

I like it, it makes the MM look extremely chaotic, it’s just hilarious to see Venezuela and NK and other countries be there.

I would totally respect if they needed time to cook up an answer and told us so
But this is total radio silence
Is Gaijin scrambling behind the scenes to come up with some compromise or solution? We don’t know.
Is Gaijin laughing at us and waiting for things to blow over? We don’t know

Replacing the ROC army flag with the ROC flag is probably a misc suggestion no?

What if someone does a mod that replaces all existing chinese flags in the game for ROC ones? Clientside of course.
There’s a guy on a discord server I’m in who did exactly that
I would appreciate if you could send me the link on private.
they can fix it to their wishes and if needed they can get their own china version, like the hinomaru flag siuation we had quite a long time
and the army flag(roc) isnt much better I guess
