It’s not even a question of 1971. Until 1949 there was no other China then the RoC, even the PRC accepts that and allows it a place in its historical narrative.
There is no reason not to add the RoC flag since vehicles in this game have served under that flag when the RoC was the only China.
They finsih the update ,and not repawn this question.I think they want cool down this thing.let people forget this thing.
I am sure you guys are feed up with me having to say this but talking about Moderation is not allowed and as most of you guys know anything to do about the flags is for this topic only please don’t post about it anywhere else as it will be removed !
yes thx you job Mod post keeper , I don,t do that
I work as a software engineer. It does not.
But I totally fails to see the pupose of this custom flag. Why would anyone want or use this feature? I just don’t get it.
Its fun.
But in reality it’s probably because of the upcoming United Korean tree. Gaijin has never really had the problem of making a TT with two national flags to choose from. It could also be a quick way to solve the Thai VT-4 issue. A fair amount of Chinese players disliked a Chinese-made vehicle being in the Japanese tree, so to avoid the problem just make it so the tech tree can actually represent Thailand by itself.
It’s the feature I never asked for, but I am enjoying.
Gaijin was smart about it, also. You only see the flags that you set for a nation. You’re not imposing your flag on others. Others don’t see what flag you’ve set for a nation ingame. Pretty smart, imo.
Uuuuuh that’s kind of what this thread is about isn’t it
Chinese TT is mainly PRC, hence why many see ROC/Taiwan as a subtree. United Korea would literally be two equally sized nations. Kind of a harder TT to balance than CHN w/ one flag
I don’t know what you guys are discussing, but I just want to say - If we can have a Columbia flag for Israel because of a single event vehicle, we can have a ROC one for vehicles that make up a substantial part of the Chinese tree (especially air).
I don’t know the exact ratio but IMO it shouldn’t make a difference. ROC is not a subtree, it is also China. It makes up basically all the lower tier vehicles and a fair amount of mid/high rank ones as well. ROC absolutely deserves a flag.
I agree.
I’m just hinting at why the actual flag function could’ve been added. Mostly to do with controversies surrounding Tech Trees (Japan w/ Thai VT-4, United Korean, Israeli tree, etc.)
Yeah, I’m not saying it doesn’t. I’m saying that the reason why the function itself was added is likely because of things like Thai VT-4 in Japan (“Chinese-made vehicle in Japan tree”) and United Korean tree. ROC definitely deserves its flag!
You’re right. Now they can add VT-4 to Japan and any Chinese nationalist can simply change the nation flag.
exactly! its also probably a lazier way to add nation folders
(before I offend any actual Kazak - I know Borat pretends he is Kazak, while the village scenes were filmed in Romania)
I honestly don’t understand why the flag of ROC cannot be there. Did any of the vehicles from China carry the PRC flag before 1949? If you developers aren’t able to figure this out, maybe the whole mechanism shouldn’t be introduced in the first place
Tbh it was a mistake to introduce those vehicles in the first place, the Chinese situation is just as sensitive as the stuff going on in Ukraine for some people, and no matter how the devs do it one side is gonna be left unhappy.
These matters are way too messed up and all they do is make more people argue and make political statements. So the best solution would be to not include these stuff until it’s no longer controversial. However since Gaijin already did, they gotta suffer the wrath of China haters, history lovers and Chinese patriots.
