Why are all the manufacturer names suddenly gone? Before the Update it was the BMW 801 engine now its just the 801. is this something copyright-related?

So apparently Gaijin and BMW are in a lawsuit about it b/c BMW sued Gaijin for using their trademark/name on in game vehicle engines

Rather stupid reason to sue another company if you ask me
But it’s not only BMW which are gone, other names are gone too
From my understanding this qualifies under Fair Use the same as, say, a documentary on WWII than mentions BMW. Both are for-profit, both are using it as a HISTORICAL FACT, not anything else. If they advertised that the game includes BMW, sure, but this is just a bs suit.
