Always makes me laugh when WWII games are trumpeted as being 'authentic', 'realistic', 'true to life', etc. yet never seem to know which insignia or flag the Germans used.
- personjerry 10y agoWhat do you mean? They seem to properly use the German flag during the WWII era (in particular the Nazi Germany war flag): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_flags https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_flags In addition, depending on ideologies you choose in the game, they dynamically add/remove symbols/variations to your flag (for example I saw a Poland player's flag acquire a hammer and sickle icon as his country turned communist).
- HoopleHead 10y agoGo to the wiki section of that site and look under "Germany'. The flag is depicted as being an iron cross on a red background. Not unique to this game, unfortunately. I think Wolfenstein 3D was the last game I saw which actually used authentic swastika flags. Everything since has been given the politically correct "won't someone think of the children!" historical rewrite. Ironic really, given that Nazism was 'kinda sorta' what WWII was all about and the swastika is [to use the current vernacular] probably the most instantly recognisable 'meme' from that war.
