Ekaton Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I am thinking about buying this game for a while but I do not wish to play it if it is not historically correct (I mean having proper swastikas on planes). I know now that there are no swastikas on vanilla skins but what about player-made ones. Are you going to allow them here? I do not mean to be a nazi fan (would be funny, being a Jew) but rather a historical purist. I do not know about Germany and Russia but in Poland and Baltic States games are published with illegal red star and hammer with sickle and everybody understands that this is not promoting communism.

SeriousFox Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) As far as I know custom skin is not available for servers with MOD off. (Including online campaign) Edited July 31, 2014 by resmania
VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Look! Up in the sky... it's a bird.... it's a plane... it's a lock.
79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 As far as I know custom skin is not available for servers with MOD off. (Including online campaign) You can't fly a campaign with your own user-made skins?
Wulf Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Look! Up in the sky... it's a bird.... it's a plane... it's a lock. How do you mean, "its a lock"? The OP wants to know if the game can be played, presumably on or off line or both, with historical markings? That sounds like a perfectly reasonable request to me. I don't know the answer unfortunately but I'd also like to know. My guess would be that off line, using 3rd party skins, it wouldn't be a problem and online would depend on server preferences.
II./JG53Lutzow_z06z33 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 From the books I've read no one in the Luftwaffe really liked the Nazi's well beside the "Fat One".So I think its better to leave it off as most of the pilots disliked the Nazi's
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 There is no user skin supprt in yet, wait till release and see what they do. I knwo there have been user made RoF skins with swastikas (note they had a very different use in WW1 by several nations) so you might be lucky in BoS. Personally I regret flying with swastikas on my german planes as I don't want to feel like flying for political extremistic regime, even though it means I enjoy less historical accurancy (which I don't mind in terms of swastis). If the lack of swastikas is reason enught for you to not get your hands on this beautyfull sim I rather feel sry for you, but to each his own.

Are you more comfortable flying with Soviet insignia on your aircraft? If you are, I'd be interested in your reasons.
startrekmike Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 However anyone feels about the Swastika, it does not change the fact that in order to release this sim in some countries, it can't have it or else it would be in violation of certain laws. It does not matter if we do or don't agree with the laws, 1C/777 simply can't add them if they wish to release the sim into as many markets as they can.
6./ZG26_5tuka Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Are you more comfortable flying with Soviet insignia on your aircraft? If you are, I'd be interested in your reasons. Sure, russians weren't politically much better in this regard. If they'd remove the red stars I'd be fine with it as well. It's not up to me to decide it. Either way I enjoy BoS very much, again: To each his own.

Ekaton Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 How do you mean, "its a lock"? The OP wants to know if the game can be played, presumably on or off line or both, with historical markings?

My guess would be that off line, using 3rd party skins, it wouldn't be a problem and online would depend on server preferences. That's exactly what I mean, just play in or against a historically accurate plane. I am a historical purist when it comes to everything and I feel it's silly to fight such symbol in games about WWII.
SeriousFox Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) For me, as a Korean, I can see there's a lot of Japanese rising sun flags in the game, movies. But I think it's ok if it's historically correct. Of course using it in real life or something not related war history shouldn't be happen. Such a shame that lot of Japanese politics proud of that flag. Edited July 31, 2014 by resmania
SCG_Neun Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It's going to degenerate into a lock..because it's just human nature to drift off into the political side of all this. So let's not do that here....The short answer is the "correct" markings will not be available for reasons already noted.
Wulf Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Sure, russians weren't politically much better in this regard. If they'd remove the red stars I'd be fine with it as well.

"Weren't politically much better" might be gilding the lily just a bit when it comes to the Soviets, but I'm happy to go with "to each his own".
6./ZG26_Gielow Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I was looking Wolfenstein New Order on Steam. Plenty of Swastikas. Do you guys know if this game is banned in some country ???
