German law would require banning AH there if Nazi symbols were displayed. There are no laws I'm aware of that would do the same over the Japanese national symbol(nor is there the political comparison you attempt to make - the "Rising Sun" would be a closer comparison). The "meatball" is more akin to the German cross.
Even here in the U.S., where people ARE allowed to display that tasteless and offensive symbol in public (and not even have to use the excuse of "game immersion"), there is a generation of heros (ever dwindling) that fought the tyranny it represented and would probably be ashamed of descendents who argued for it's use, no matter what the reasoning behind the argument.
Most players who make a big deal of wanting swatikas displayed in games and other public forums (often under the guise of "added realism")quite often are, themselves, vulgar and immature individuals with no real sense of propriety. Here's hoping that you, Soviet, are an exception to that and are merely unaware of the sensible reason behind not including the display of the swastika in a game that shouldn't have anything incorporated into it's design that many would find offensive.
