I cannot find anything.  Does not meant there is nothing there.  Care to share a link?

It's not a link, it's a signin. May not be open to the public sorry.

Well darn.

The last update I have in my hands was talking about how the EU had challenged laws which were prohibiting the display of communism symbols.  The upshot of it was the laws were too vague and stomped on freedom of speech.

None of our foreign players have brought it up as an issue either.

With all HTC has stated as to reasons why no historical paint jobs for the German aircraft so the game won't be banned in a country.  Why than do you have the swastika on the B-239?

there are accurate other than the swastika.  In some countries it is illegal to show the swastika and so the game would bebaned in those countries. 

I t has nothing to do with how HiTech "feels" they should be displayed,  but a business decision.

take a look at the B-239  Looks like a swastika to me.

Traveler.

Google it.  The laws of different countries are all over the place.  Some ban it completely.  Some ban it except for historical accounts.  Some allow it in historic films.  Some allow it as art.

Why would you, as the owner of this game get involved in this quagmire?

Take a look at the B-239 in the hanger.  looks like it's not a country ban thing after all.

Finnish swastika, not Nazi swastika, right?

Von Rosen had painted his personal good luck charm on the Thulin Typ D aircraft. This charm – a blue swastika, the ancient symbol of the sun and good luck – was adopted as the insignia of the Finnish Air Force. The white circular background was created when the Finns tried to paint over the advertisement from the Thulin air academy.[5] The swastika was officially taken into use after an order by Commander-in-Chief C. G. E. Mannerheim on 18 March 1918. The FAF changed its aircraft insignia after 1944, due to an Allied Control Commission decree[6] prohibiting Fascist organizations and it resembling the 3rd Reich's swastika.[6]

Read your history. Swastikas have been around for thousands of years. Only one certain version used as the emblem of a certain ideology is on the list of less desired symbols. The blue swastika on a white circle had been the lucky sign of the Swedish count von Rosen before Mr. Hitler was even born, inspired by a viking runestone. The FAF adopted the sign along with their first plane donated by von Rosen in 1918, two years before NSDAP was founded. FAF still use it in their flags and medals.

My buddy from Lowell Massachusetts found some old ww2 german equipment panels in the cellar of the house he just bought. He told me that they have "swastiker stickahs" on them. It took me a minute. Then I asked him to say Cuba.

"What, Cuber?" he said.

That is the Finnish swastika, not the German one.  As Bizman noted, there is a big difference.
