Did HT change the policy on NO Nazi symbols on skins?

Doubt it.

What's the issue? You're not looking at the blue Finnish one are you?
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Blue Swastika was the symbol of the Finnish Air Force before the National Socialist German Workers Party was even founded.

About as much to do with the Nazis as the Swastikas on Hindu temples.

Not that i'm advocating changing the rules but:

What is the argument for no swastikas on skins? Why is it different to an RAF roundel or US star and stripes. If it was historically on the plane, shouldnt it be recreated here? Im assuming because people don't want to be thought of as a Nazi because they fly a german plane in a flight sim..?

Like i said, i'm not saying we should put them on, just wondering the official reason.

I had the same question. As it was explained to me, certain countried have made it illegal to posses anything with a swastika, so if someone in that country was playing this game, they could be arrested because of that cartoon swastika.

Don't the bends go in the opposite direction on the Finnish swastika?
