This is so right on.  I would love to see CONFEDERATE AIR FORCE schemes in here.

Brilliant, that's all HiTech needs is 1 law suit that would break the company.
Not what I am suggesting by any means or would allow myself. Germany has outlawed the nazi swastika for a reason. This game would be outlawed in Germany if the nazi symbol was in game. The confederate flag represents something that is un-American and against the spirit of our Constitution.
Long live the "United States of America"!

Well that was a stupid conclusion.

[Changeup]

I wonder which will die first, the game or this thread

Easily understood your misunderstanding of the reference to Confederate Air Force CAF, which has nothing to do with the Civil War Confederates.  It is an present day organization that puts on awesome air shows with loads of privately owned WW2 aircraft.

So Vraciu shouldn't be assumed to be un American....  oh wait a minute ... did see him slacking off at work just about siesta time.

Ummm... no.

The "Confederate flag" that you're referring to and that we know it today is nothing more than the Confederate Battle Flag. It is not the flag that represented the Confederacy nor does it have any innuendo of racism or inequality.

Most people have no idea what the actual Confederate flag, the "Stars and Bars," even looks like.

Nope.   Confederate Air Force.  Harlingen, Texas.  Not that thing in Midland.

Don't confuse them with facts, Skyyr.

I love these arguments.
 

[Megalodon]

Il2 is the competition, not War Blunder I'd say

Absolutely,

It is very interesting to listen to the steps they make to build the game.
The last DD #53 at around 10 min show how they are working out searchlights and in #54 he mentions the Stuka

Skins should be kept historical IMO, but you are being silly. The reason AHII does not have swastikas on the German planes is so that our German friends can play. It is bad that a nation has a silly oppressive law that keeps a plane in a cartoon game from having its historic paint scheme, but that is what they deal with. If there were a plane that had a Confederate flag as part of its paint scheme, there would be no valid basis for a law suit. Actually no one has had a fit over the nude girl on 2Big 2Heavy, so I doubt anyone is immature enough to try something like that.

BnZs, your Red Baron Pizza avatar looks remarkably like Tom Selleck in High Road To China.
