Those are all the active operator nations in battle. Every single flag there, someone is playing a vehicle; those nations are the operator
Ex. I played my UK GRB 5.3. Said line up has a Canadian and Aussie vehicle. When I played the Aussie one, the Australian flag showed up on the leaderboard, when I switched to the Canadian one, it was changed to the Canadian flag
If you turn off this check box:
They are, as you go back to the old system.
I like this new system that shows operator nation in battle, likely my favourite part of the new updat,e and it’s a great step into fixing sub-trees. Plus, in things like air, there is so much more info to be learned based on operator nations in game.
They removed it cause they forgot to put the disclaimer back up and on the Chinese forum we had a like 140 post / day thread arguing amongst our selves whether the flag systems are ‘good’, since putting a 3rd reich flag on a modern vehicle would be quite, interesting as well.
Gaijin doind too much for China: Not adding VT-4 to Thailand because Chinese players crying about it, adding fake Oplot (model in game are copy of Thai Oplot-T but name of basic Ukrainian Oplot-M, and they not the same model), after everyone said that it was not Oplot-P
Gaijin likes to say they are not biased towards the mainland chinese playerbase but this seems hard to accept when CERTAIN MAINLAND INDIVIDUALS CAN THREATEN TO SUE GAIJIN (if you remember that thread) and get exactly what they wanted within 48 hours.
