[Serious Problem]Allows players to disable the sun flag of the Pacific campaign in settings, due to unforeseen negative political consequences

actually there aren’t such special version as the bureau in charge doesnt approved the pubish of the game in mainland China yet (and probably wont in an unkown period of time).

Well, at least, confusing historical issues aside, it’s a rather strange decoration. Why put multiple naval ensign in the hanger? :upside_down_face:

Even in IJN’s ground force headquarter in Shanghai, they rises one naval ensign. Other flags rise around gate are sun-mark flag and one is larger than naval ensign.

There are Chinese version, you can see many video of it. You are from China you must know it right?

didn’t japan had different two flags for each army and navy? pretty interesting.
and also as I know Japanese Navy and Army were at odds with each other.

Normally, naval ensign and army flag is different in many countries.

Army

  • Symbol of regiment: Rising-sun flag (sun is center)
  • Flags often used by soldiers: Sun-mark flag

Navy

  • Naval ensign: Rising-sun flag (sun is left)
  • Symbol of ground party: same as above
  • Flags often used by soldiers: same as above

As far as I remember, navy’s ground battalion used M-mark flag but I can’t find photo:(

Apparently I made mistakes, these flags are Army’s one lol (sun is at the center)
Why DF put Army’s flag above naval fighters?

Frankly, I don’t really want to have this discussion because the Japanese Alt-right(Netouyo) will get upset too…(I had a pretty uncomfortable discussion about this in World of Warships).
Personally, I am not against Nazi flags in games. The Rising Sun and all that. Because anything historically realistic is immersive.
But if the use of the flag wasn’t historically common (if it was put out as a so-called stereotype), then it should be replaced.

I think the solution is to replace it only in China and the affected Asian region.Some places are restricting it as a nation, and if we understand the sentiments of the inhabitants of those countries, we should do so.

Well, it seems to be basis on stereotype and usage of them is unhistorical (eg. put multiple army flag above naval fighters). I afraid stupid new-rights get mad about it, but I hope they remove/replace them for historical accuracy.

We just want an option to freely choose whether or not to show these patterns, like apex’s real name mask

I hope the game official allows players to freely choose whether to display these sensitive factors

Instead of deleting or leaving it recklessly

I hope you understand that this is a historical game, and you can’t look at it selectively

If someone doesn’t want to see it, they should set a setting to block it and let the players choose freely.

Good idea to hear, but no need for korea at least I suppose.

I believe there’s a need for an option to uncensor everything like let the Germans use their swastikas for players who don’t mind having such symbols.

Stupid laws not updating where computer games should be treated like movies as work of art.

???Do you think Japanese fascism is better than the Soviet Union? Poor boy, maybe your country’s history books are not quite right (I vaguely remember that UNESCO criticized that Japanese textbooks did not objectively describe the history of aggression and slaughter)

Thanks, KEO.
There is also a problem about Nazi flags. Can I ask to add options to quickly choose whether using historical real flags, or using flags modified to avoid censorship? (Not only Japan, but also Germany)
