Bullethead.

Do you play the game?

If you sit in the cockpit you cant see the art on your tail.... If you chase an enemy you cant see the art on their tail....

Why have this debate over something you cant even see 90% of the time?

If you want a cool picture for your squad homepage or something im sure you can use Photoshop or some similar program...

Do you catch my drift?

And by the way, this is a game not an simulator.

Have a good day.

See? I knew you could figure it out without a sledgehammer.

You got this bassackwards.  The laws in question apply only to a minority of the players.  So why should the majority have to have their historical accuracy compromised as a result?


You assume that the majority of the players who aren't under such a law are rabid over wanting to see swastikas in AH. Most probably don't care. Some probably would be offended. I'd venture to say that the number of players who would sign a petition to put the swastika in AH (and damn the consequences because I'm "protecting everyone's right to historical accuracy in mmogs') are much smaller than the number of players who live in countries with anti-nazi symbology laws.

If you have a problem with the anti-nazi symbology laws in other countries, take it up with them (though I doubt you'd be taken seriously). If you have a problem with HTC respecting those laws ... take it up with HT (still .... same same). If you want sympathy for your "cause" from the AH community ... well I, for one, have none and the more you wave the swastika banner and claim "truth, honesty and freedom for the oppressed online gamer!" ... the less likely I ever will.

Now ..... this thread started out as a comment over white crosses on 109s. I know you saw enough of an opening to hop back up on the soapbox with the megaphone and continue the crusade but since I see more rotten tomatos in the crowd than I hear applause .... maybe it's best to let it either get back on track or die off.
