? It’s the ribbon of Saint George and it should be a decal anyhow.

This is so weird too because we have these quotes from Stalin and then Khrushchev saying that without the US’s support (in one way or another), they would’ve lost the war. So it does seem odd there hasnt been a US tank, at least not recently), for this particular event.

I mean we have the apartheid flag on proud display on SA vehicles statcards and german ww2 units logos which were very much nazis so its not off limits for controversial modern ensigns, including the Z.
the one you’re calling neofascist is also just a St George ribbon. The same St George who is the patron saint of my country so id rather you refrain from such insults

this ribbon is banned in many countries
Its a order ribbon of the russian empire and is just a traditional pattern no different to Scottish tartans in a sense. odd to ban it.

The community update said there will be a US D-Day tank event in June
We may differ in our assessment of some guerrilla actions, but the guerrilla movement during World War II contributed significantly to victory.
Seems like only Russia, the U.S., China, and Germany exist in the game when it comes to getting event vehicles.
No I’m not, but I am for such a remark.
St George was from Cappadocia which is now in turkey and was what would now be counted as an ethnic greek. Hes my countries Patron Saint but not ours to claim exclusively, if others wish to herald him as a saint and role model in his history and legend who cares?

Hmn - whilst i appreciate your clarification from a Russian perspective i am not sure if this view is shared all over the world.
My general view on irrehular forces
-
Technically seen irregular forces fighting against foreign forces in an occupied country / territory are counterproductive for any somehow civilized warfare no matter which forces they fight or how noble their intentions might be.
-
The sole purpose of warfare is to declare a winner based on the exchange of raw violence between regular forces. So in case one side is defeated and surrenders hostilities have to end as anything else would require that the occupiers would have to intern all people in a fighting / combat age just in order to protect their own forces.
-
This would lead to a total collapse of the economy and food supply in the occupied countries and result in famines within the whole country.
-
You might look up what happens when occupiers are unable to provide food - just google Bengal famine 1943.
So anyways, i still see this choice rather critical as on one hand i understand and accept the views or Russian game developers (based on local perception) - but on the other hand gaijin claims to be a European and worldwide active enterprise. They might pick a side.
Have a good one!

Even better, let the players pick between the Soviet, American, British, and French vehicles in the parade. The IS-3 would be the obvious best choice but it would be so nice to have multiple options, especially if you could receive more than one. It’s been 80 years, that’s a milestone too significant for a single T-34!
