Why are they changing all of the Japanese vehicles to represent the modern Japanese flag? It doesn’t make any sense and is disrespectful.
I guess he’s saying that Gaijin’s changing the flag of the Japan tech-tree from Kyokujitsu-ki (war flag) 
to Nisshōki (civil flag) 
, which in my opinion it makes sense since its represent the whole tech-tree and not a specific branch as the Kyokujitsu-ki refers only to the navy currently.

it makes sense considering im pretty sure they only use it for their navy, and their plane flags have like a golden border

本来日本海军旭日旗不适用于所有日本载具吧？
Originally, the Rising Sun flag of the Japanese Navy was not applicable to all Japanese vehicles, was it?
改成日本国旗才对。
It would be better to change it to the Japanese flag.

I do like both flags and why not coosing your flags for every country. I mean you could do that for the usa, Germany, Japan, China and Italy…
(Still I wonder why they only did it for japan and not also for germany)
And I’m pretty sure the chinese version of the game alrwady has the post war japanese flag so it shouldnt change a thing for you
so you rather want a flag with a swastika?

Its probably more the german one who are wanting the normal german flag
I have said this is banned in most of europe so It would not be ingame(havent found if they banned it in hungary)
so what flag should germany get then for the WW2 stuff?

Nvm my original point that they only changed japan bc the new thai vt4 is getting added by japan and some chinese do not like this(I’ve written sth in the thread about how silly it is to say japan shoulndt get a vehicle from another nation bc the tank is exported by china and then still having several japanese vehicles in their techtree). And since they only changed japan it has only proven my theory…
no it didnt
the whole Japanese tech tree used the flag of the Japanese navy and not of the country of Japan
and now the Japanese tech tree uses the flag that japan used from 1870 to 1999

The ww2 planes do have the other rising sun flag… but I do like to see the new flag tbh(had to check the flags to be sure)…
Lol and the flag you said germany used is also the war flag used by the army/navy(slightly modified(havent found proof that the luftwaffe has used it)) so it make the same arguement for germany

“On September 15, 1935, the German government enacted the ‘Reich Flag Law,’ which was signed by the Reich Chancellor, the Reich Minister, and the Reich War Minister. The first three articles of this law stated:
‘The national colors are black-white-red.’…
…The new ‘Reich Flag Law’ thus replaced the black-white-red tricolor with the swastika flag, whose basic colors, however, were the same. The new Reich war flag, which was first presented in November 1935 to the units of the army, the navy, and the newly formed air force.”
and ingame we have a modified version of that flag
It was used quite widly used, but it was not the official state flag. Your source only said they used it pretty often for speeches and for the coffins…
