Hire some proper translator darkflow (B5N2 instrument panel fake Japanese)

Stop this “random Asian gibberish” nonsense. It’s not so expensive to hire some proper translator or at least use google translate.

This pic is from A6M2. The words on the instrument panels are correct and actually has meaning. (Altitude, speed, etc)

This is from B5N2. The words on the instrument panels are totally made up gibberish that its only purpose is to mimic a foreign Asian language.

Please fix Darkflow, it’s extremely racist and I need those gauges to fly properly. I’m not even Japanese and I’m offended.

Upon further inspection I found the same problem appears on two more planes. (I don’t have full access to the Japanese plane tec tree so there could be more)

The A5M4

And the D3A1

This is genuinely hilarious. Dang DF didn’t know you were based- I mean insensitive like that! How dare they do this

Seriously though it is weird they would do that. Not that hard to just Google Translate then copy paste

This seems like more effort than just google translating words like altitude and speed. DF is out here creating a whole different language

I guess now we know what they do in their free time instead of fixing bugs they seat and make a language

Wow!
This is too bad.
It reminded me of my own childhood. I was building a diorama model to match a plastic model of a Tiger tank, and I wrote what looked like appropriate letters on a sign in the landscape. (Because I don’t understand German).
These strange letter-like things remind me of that kind of appropriateness.
Naturally, however, child’s play and game making are different. Such lax work should not be tolerated, and I am surprised that Darkflow took so little pride in their creation. As a Japanese, I am displeased.
I had hardly played any Japanese factions before and didn’t realize it.
They should fix this as soon as possible.

After doing the POST I remembered about my stupid IPhone. When I take a picture with my IPhone, the AI corrects the picture without my asking and generates a fake high resolution picture.
So, small letters are changed to mysterious symbols.
For example, this one. At first glance, it looks like Japanese, but even I, a Japanese person, cannot read these unknown characters.

I’m fed up with stupid Iphones and uncontrolled AI technology. And the characters in the OP look the same.
Perhaps Darkflow may have made the AI to hi-resolve low-resolution textures. And then the letters went wrong.

Enlisted use model from War Thunder. This is exactly how it looks like in War Thunder.

I remember a post in WT regarding the fact that they may never bother to accurately model placeholder cockpits from older planes.

The only way I can see these getting amended is if WT actually updates their models, or DF takes initiative and updates them independently of WT.
