the earn insane amounts of money compared to what they spend - they outsource models and textures and they use AI to make content for the game
its not like they lack monetization methods yknow
and thats not the precedent i am talking about, what i meant is tonedeaf, out-of-place content that has no place in the game
…oh, nevermind
Why do you think so, it’s only a game…
Twas a joke if it wasnt obvious.
Were back again to whats historical and whats not. Not liking anime stuff or sexualization is perfectly fine. Saying it has nothing to do with military stuff is factually incorrect.
We have any numbers? Otherwise is just speculation, as opposed to me saying they need to pay electricity bill, which is, kinda, you know, the obvious.
Also you do realize every vehicle needs to be licensed if they wanna use its model as well as official name? Were talking about 2k vehicles.
Anyway as I said, i see premiums that are effectivelly skins being less problematic than unique vehicles being locked behind paywall.
Id take 6 different premiums Clickbaits if it meant we will get TT T58 and T54E1.
Banned in the air force and not really banned elsewhere, but in the US, Command can kinda do what they want within regulations.
This happened once or twice during AI’s massive boom in popularity. It was likely just curiosity.
Anime and such are hardly out of place in the Military. The US Military is why Anime exists in the first place. Tone conflicts would occur with media that don’t fit the Military theme.
Then complain about that specifically. If anything, having a duplicate Click-Bait at top tier is good for US Winrates because it gives Premium Spammers another spawn to use.
Oooof
I guess I got pulled back in here but I want to say this whole argument kind of follows the IRL argument around the whole pin up decals which is a whole historical research report on to her self but to keep it simple it goes like this.
At the start of any war especially WW2 there was a bit of a learning curve of how to fully organize the army as there always was. New officers and personal to fill the expansion and with that a degree of tomfoolery that was excepted due to the emergency of the situation. People will have time on there hands and they might spend it painting kill marks and iconography on there plane and as long it maintained the identity of the plane and did not cause blue on blue people over looked it.
Some officers saw it as unprofessional and risked operational security. The unprofessional point could come from personal beliefs and this was sometimes shown with a officer banning the practice or placing restrictions like forcing the most improper pin ups to acquire clothing. Sometimes punishments could be given out but for these pin ups as some did violate rules at times but if your at war having a perfectly good airmen out of the fight for this is bad for the war effort and such things would be overlooked. Officers who where extremely strict also gained poor reputations and would effect moral so over time a strict officer may be forced to be more open to these pin ups.
Operational security was a real concern as pin ups are an identifying marker and could give away air wing strength, operational status, or which air wing they where associated with. If you had heavy loses there is a chance if your air field is being spied on by locals planes with prominent pin ups would not be seen and your real strength could be uncovered. Its easier to hide your loses if you can repaint some numbers on a single plane then to try to replicate a pin up over and over again until back up arrives. Remember military secrets are the most fleeting of all. So following the whole when you are weak appear strong kind of thinking so don’t leave unnecessary lose ends laying around.
During peace time its very easy to keep these rules in place but during wartime you have to balance team moral/cohesion especially if some of your personal are drafted. You also need to factor in the reality that being extremely strict can undermine your operational readiness and how people view you if your personal wish in there back of there heads for ill will against you that’s not great.
I still find it funny how this chat follows the IRL arguments of some wanting to run a clean tight ship and others who are fine with it just because. LOL I have already stated my opinion of the situation so if you want to know you go find it.
@TheKnightOfZero concerning your game nickname is it a reference to Code Geass? I’m surprised then @li0nheart never noticed the connection earlier to his point.
im not discussing anything about it - i am simply stating that this kind of addition is tonedeaf for this game
ofc we dont, but you can just ask them the outsource studios they buy from

also there arent that many employees to pay salary to
they sure are licensing the t-34 or the morko-morane
it was clearly greed mate
Most game companies use contractors rather than employees
ya that’s just straight up wrong as Japan did have a robust comic industry in the early 20th century mostly following in the steps of western versions but Japan did have its own twist usually focusing on retelling of popular Japanese stories. Throughout Asia there where many comic studios to put a better word to it but the Japanese became the most successful in the late 20th century. I will leave it at that.
perfectly fine, but im asking WHY was it tonedeaf.
I dont believe for one second we would be in situation where person other than gaijin holds rights to actual 3D model present in game. These models will always be owned by gaijin, either buying the 3D artist work, or contracting 3D artist to create the 3D model (more likely) for them.
Either way, it matters little whenever it was made by employee or contractor - someone had to do job, and get paid for it.
employees, maybe, but you yourself mentioned they outsource some of their work - so still, someone needs to be paid, whenever contractor or employee.
Youd be surprised how copyright law works. I can share some stories from my uni class if you are interested, but these would be offtopic. Bottom line is, they do need to have license if they wanna use exact likeness as well as official name/designation.
dont worry, i know its wrong, I was just laughing at that joke, because of the implications of what has US military to do with creation of anime.
It was not at you just backing you up. The history of East Asian Animation industry is always a great read. The most they contributed was the Marshall plan which did help fund some media projects like the Rudolf the red nosed reindeer which the puppets where designed in Japan and the dye was from Germany. That is why Rudolf looks so anime like and does not look like a European or North American deer and that money would be used to build up some of the studios. Also post war US comics where basically free for many years in Japan though soldiers.
yeah it happens I mentioned before not a lot of people get the reference
Obey me subjects and capture the D point!
