Major Update "Spearhead" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

yea

I don’t understand. Was it a deliberate choice not to have it in the customization feature?

I believe it was, but the official reason is that army flags aren’t allowed, and currently ROC vehicles are represented in-game through their army flag.

A bug report suggesting they change ROC army flag to the national one was denied

The rest is up to your imagination

The real reason isn’t known for the change but our best guess is that gaijin never intended to have army and naval flags shown but this wasn’t clarified in the stream

It’s a shame really I do feel like army and naval flags should be included especially for people who main one tree

Of course. It’s an optional feature after all, the more flags the merrier

why dont ppl get that it isnt a good idea to give the german vehicles from that time the national flag

I think someone said on discord, correct me if I’m wrong but the German used the sam Empire flag from 1933 to 38 ish. I don’t know if that’s true but either way I still think Germany should have their modern flag as default

"While the black-white-red imperial flag was used from 1933 to 1935, it was co-official with the Nazi Party flag, which then became the sole national flag from 1935 onwards. "

This is the current in-game war flag, which is censored by the way, there’s supposed to be a no-no symbol in the middle but it’s replaced by a bar cross

I don’t see how it’s different than this censored national flag

That seems very retroactive lol. I guess Gaijin isn’t neutral after all

Still has the same colours : 3

BTW, where is the official source for this? I’d be interested to see

So far there’s been no official statement, just the usual canned response about things being subject to change on the dev server.

So I’m hoping we get a ROC national flag alternative before it hits live, or it’d be like you said, a breach of neutrality

I’ll shoot you a dm

Hey @Smin1080p_WT

I’m curious about what happened to the Belgian F-16AM’s HMD getting radar control integration. A bug report was made around a year ago now, and was forwarded for review, but nothing came of it. Did the report get canned, pushed aside, or is it planned to be fixed anytime soon?

Here’s the bug report:

F-16AM missing the radar HMD mode

Yeah i wondered about this, its such a strange thing to ignore for so long
