Just making sure on this.   Swastikas are banned even on victory markings?

Working on a Pony skin.   The original has swastika victory flags.  I need to change these to balkenkruz/iron crosses?

Don't do it, you will definitely turn people into Nazis if they see this symbol, I seen one about 8 years ago just briefly right now I'm sitting in an SS uniform typing this  :cry

Truth be told (and this is the denial that surprises me from some of yas) there are still some people who are offended by that symbol. The German law might be an example of an extreme measure to some of you but that is at least one of the reasons HTC does not accommodate requests to display it in the game even as kill markings. Another may well be the potential for attraction of negative elements to the game. YOU may not be offended or unusually attracted to that symbol (as is the case with me) .... but it's HT's game and his call. No amount of attempted ridicule or marginalizing that basic point is going to sway the policy.

I would hate to have a Neo-Nazi squadron active in game. They would bomb all the Kosher Deli's. D:

Well let's see...They are historic to the planes in this game.  A german WW2 fighter without it on the tail...is like Richard Petty's car without #43.

I never thought I'd see Richard Petty brought into this futile discussion.  :D

Well, let's face it, as a kill marking it is showing the exact opposite of supporting nazism.   Wouldn't that be worth PROMOTING in Germany?  Lol

As it should.  They are anything but pro-Nazi in that context.   The German courts already ruled such things are fine, too.

Not mine.  The ones in game.  And they're kill markings.  Big difference.
