What happened to the panther?

Not necessary.
Im just getting tired that people think it’s still banned in the Reich despite being not for four years now.
Also a public ban sometimes include freedom of art.

And that matters?
WW2 game which is not a propaganda game for the Reich. Yeah. Guess its gonna be pretty hard for them to include it in case its only Germany. The last Zombie Army game had swastikas. A freaking nazi zombie game. I guess those barriers are pretty high.

Public bans dont necessary include ban in art.
Austria for example allows people to use Nazi symbols for art, historical and educational purpose. Same goes for Poland, France, the Czechs (as long as you dont incinate hate with it), Ukraine (only commie stuff is forbidden there) or partly Israel.
The disclaimer is retarded and doesnt even include bans for artists etc. Just saying its forbidden in public doesnt mean anything in terms of art.
Russia for example outlaws the swastika across all sections.

  1. It took Germany years to re-explaining the law about video game’s category. It wont be easy for other countries to do the same thing.
  2. Of course there’s tons of Russian audience…

Unless dev come up with Steam’s solution-

Enable different game files for different countries/language.
I dont think they will ease logo restrictions.

And that matters for Df in 2020, 2021 and 2022 cause?

Idk. I guess the modders will be the final solution here.

I have a solution, I believe. I welcome any criticism and additional suggestions about it, too.

Decals and camouflages should be a part of resources that do not change the version of the game, so that a launcher for each region with certain laws will get the appropriate files and everyone can play together. Regions with no restrictions could have full historical decals and flags, and regions with particular laws can be catered to and everyone can have what they want and nobody gets in trouble.

Emm, how deep you have dived into this game’s editor?
Some one I know already can implement 3rd party files into the editor. But you know what?
EAC!
Any anti cheat provide basic anti file swap function to avoid cheaters.

Dont think too much about modders. We cant do too much.

Does the whole “LSSAH” text have to be removed or could it be replaced with something else like “L//AH” for example?

AS-44 which was never used in WW2 hurts me a lot.

Please remove.

Isn’t having dot-44 camouflage in 1942 Stalingrad a serious mistake too?

I do feel a bit bad for the devs in this case. I know that many different SS squads are already present in the game with modified emblems, and their actual real life emblems are already present in the game files and are simply inaccessible. It is clear that they WANT to include them into the game. I don’t think “cancelling” is even a concern for them, or at least I hope they don’t think it is. All that would happen in the public eye is some free advertising that would alert people to the games existence, and turn off absolutely no one that would have otherwise been interested.

I think it really is a concern with Russian bans on various nazi symbols and their use. We could all say we would do otherwise and pave the way for everyone else with historically accurate content that would probably just be ignored by everyone because most wouldn’t care about historically accurate symbols depicted in a video game. But they are a company with real people that could not only potentially face consequences for their inclusion but they all have families and livelihoods to take care of. I hope that circumstances soon change and the historically accurate symbols that are already in the game files are able to be utilized without concern for legal issues.

Cuz those are not commy companies.

You’re saying ‘capitalist’ games have better historical accuracy and swastikas everywhere in their multiplayer?

I like historical accuracy as much as the next guy but
a) this is the current world gaming trend, not just an Enlisted issue
b) in certain countries it’s getting more and more easy to get banned and jailed for anything, so I suppose a game dev would rather be safe than sorry (lose a market or explain to mr officer why he shouldn’t be gulag’d for more than 25 years)

UPD
lmao I just found out you can play as WW2 Snoop Dogg in Vanguard
perfect capitalist accuracy :joy:

There is a new neutered gold Panther A in Normandy now, but it’s still called “R02” in store. And it still has it’s old unit card there, meaning that divisional insignia of Leibstandarte still can be seen. You can also see bits of A13 Mk II “3rd RTR” unit card since Panther card was lazily pasted over it.

no they did change the tank


Unit card in Logistics remained the same.

ok

That’s a bit weird that they even changed the number and the leaping panther emblems on the turret.
I wonder what was the thinking behind these changes other than removing the runes.
Maybe they replaced all the markings on the tanks so people don’t get mad about the R02 not having runes because this isn’t R02 anymore but a made up R05.
It’s a bit weird also how they left the location of the emblem on the front glacis empty instead of covering it with zimmerit or just putting the censored emblem that the squad uses there.
Maybe this skin is just to get rid of the illegals symbols and they are still working on the final version.

I think that’s it too

You do not obey all the countries laws, the country I live in soviet emblems and symbols are banned, yet you still show them.
