Whenever I see the rising sun ensign of the IJN I think of the black vans spewing anti foriegner propaganda at 140 decibels.
That flag has been adopted by the Japanese revisionists and ultra nationalists, the people who deny the Rape of Nanking and every year push for changes to the history textbooks to paint the "Great Pacific War"
in ever rosier hues.
It is an appropriate symbol in the game, a historical combat simulator.
At least Germany came to terms with its past and made ammends. Japan is still for the most part ingnorant or in denial.
