Yeah, I get that part but all the attention this one’s getting is kinda weird. Only a handful of players in this thread actually play the Chinese TT extensively and the rest are just ranting about something that they probably’ll never use even if it was added.
The stuff I see here is exactly the kind of fanaticism I saw in the Chinese community regarding the VT4 thing back in September. Ironically some people I see here were also whining about how the ROCA is getting their own Abrams and Apache.
Yeah, players who do own ROCA vehicles and people from the region should get a say in this, but I’d also say this thread is mostly filled with western busybodies. How about we just mind our own business and let the controversy die down so Gaijin can finally fix it without getting into deeper crap.
If we stop discussing the issue, nothing will be fixed. It’s better to keep the discussion going. It’s the best way to possibly get a Gaijin answer. If this flag matters to you, then — “no matter where you come from” — you can freely share your view on this thread.
You tell me

Ah, I see you’re a man of taste, I get why you want the flag, and I have to say I do too for the same reason, albeit I’m a bit less dedicated. Then again, I’m just quite surprised by how many users are ranting on this thread, and I find it hard to believe that they all play the Chinese TT seriously.

As I said, this is a customization option. Most people talk about what we want, while another group says you have no right to think about it.

well since its no gameplay related thing where you actually should know the br/vehicle you are talking about this topic only requires to see double standards to complain. nothing else…
well thats also partially on the response since many users just like to poke into the emotional stuff to troll etc. So the topic would have see less attention if there werent so many emotional takes on similiar stuff before. and the topic is ridiculous since the roc flag is already ingame.
and if its so bad like the japanese navy flag for certain locations they just can region lock it for those players

Indeed, there was a “Traditional Chinese” option in the language settings, and it displayed the Republic of China flag. Ironically, the display restrictions for “Simplified Chinese” were set before server development, yet they are now protesting the appearance of the Republic of China flag in languages they don’t use (such as English, Japanese, and Russian). According to their logic: those who don’t play Chinese TT or aren’t Chinese/Taiwanese have no right to speak. So why are they unhappy about these visual elements appearing in languages they don’t use? Now, following their protest, the server development content has been modified and officially released within 24 hours, and I believe all our discussions were reasonable and unrelated to nationality or whether one plays a particular country’s TT.

The issue with there being no ROC flag of any form to be selected is noticeable. I can change the USA flag to Canada, or Greece, I can change the USSR flag to the Empire of Russia, or Israeli to Colombia. Yet this one example we can’t change it for ourselves, while I do not believe the devs would do this with malice, it is reasonable for many to believe so because of many other companies far bigger than the snail to give the knee to China/CCP in this regard.
If a ROC flag is not in the game to be selected because its “still in a conflict” than you must remove the North Korean flag.
China fought in World War 2, it fought against the Japanese, America relied on China, and that is shown in game, with dozens of American tanks, and air craft having the marks of China.
It is fair for us to expect the flag that China fought under to be selectable. The older US flag not being selectable I can understand as its frankly so similar.
But I am able to select the Russian Empire flag, a flag that hasn’t been fought under in over a hundred years. Why do we have that one, yet not the flag China fought under during World War 2?
The fact we can not select some form of the ROC or similar flag as such is strange, and while I again restate I do not believe the team has done this with malice, its glaring mistake we all feel it seems.
If the Russian empire flag can be selected, So can a ROC flag/or a flag before 1945 of the recognized govt of the time.

Where’s the Weimar Republic Flag?
There are tanks or planes in the game that were used by the Weimar government, only ships. And Gaijin won’t allow naval jacks to represent a nation (Except ROC in the TT, but hey, surely that is not an issue for the playerbase.)

Damn. Naval Deserves better :(
Japan with single 2.0 event vehicle since it was added💀
As an aside, the actual Weimar Republic flag is identical to the modern German one, apart from its aspect ratio. I suppose that’s the reason Gaijin chose the Weimar naval jack instead as operator flag for Weimar Republic ships in the first place, making it distinctive (note that neither West nor East German ships use their respective naval jacks as operator flags, while German Empire ones do, so who knows what Gaijin was thinking).

I would still like the naval flag to be available though.

Same here.

To be fair it still would be nice to have since while the flags are the same, the name isn’t.
But even then Germany is currently the one nation still using a military flag rather than a national one for the WWII flag, so it’s really just Gaijin being inconsistent. Can’t even blame it on censorship when the military flag also featured the Swastika (replaced by Balkenkreuz in game)

They should change the flag to this (or with the Iron cross) as that’s more similar to what they used.

Actually maybe they could just change those boats from Reichswehr to WW2 Germany because they are the models that were modified and used in WW2 by the Germans. They have upgraded guns and Torpedoes.
