Got Banned For This Question

[mokka]

before i ask i want to say war thunder is a game about Historical Events, so everything you see and play is reality and history.

here my question: why are Nationalistic Symbols not allowed?

since everyone trying to make some art on their vehicle, why not instant allowing it? its just a game, why do they censoring History?

isnt it easy just to add a setting to turn these things off?

but like bombing on vietnam, afghanistan, near east, poland and other maps is accepteble?

LMAO

certain symbols are banned in some countries.

I assume you're talking about swastikas and they're banned symbols in places and it's less of a headache for Gaijin to just not implement it at all. Also war thunder isn't about historical events, it's about military vehicles.

"The use of flags, emblems and anthems of Nazi Germany (1933–1945) is currently subject to legal restrictions in a number of countries, such as Austria, Brazil, Czech Republic, France, Germany,[1] Hungary, Israel, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and other countries.[2]

While legal in most countries,[3][4] the display of flags associated with the Nazi government (see: Nazi flags) is subject to restriction or an outright ban in several European countries.

Many Nazi flags make use of the swastika symbol;[5] however, the swastika is not always used in connection with the National Socialist German Workers' Party movement or of the German Third Reich or the combined German military of 1933–1945. Outside of Nazism, use of swastikas pre-dates the German Third Reich by some 3,000 years.[6][7] It is possible to display certain non-Nazi swastikas even in areas where Nazi swastikas are prohibited."

you cant use a swastika in germany its against the law.
it is only possible if it is for historical purposes like documentation or history education.

To be fair, we got a little change in law here in Germany a few years back, alllowing video games to display swastikas if they're not glorifiyng the regime. The new "Wolfenstein" games for example are allowed to be sold here uncensored with that change.

Just a random note, and it probably wouldn't apply to WT
