the ship looks good but the decking flag?

geez thats terrible, if you dont want the swastika symbol then fine i can see that, many still find it very offensive and a symbol of racism but what they have on the decking looks more like a red cross banner then a kriegsmarine flag or southern cross or whatever they were trying for.

it would be better to leave the flag paint off the decking all together and it would look so much better

Each week Ubisoft will be revealing one ship. This will include a render, a few screenshots and a few technical specs for each one of them.

very impressed wow

Looks great!
I wonder if the ships will have different camos. For example the stripes on the Bismarck were overpainted to grey when entering the atlantic on her first (and last) operation.
And will the size of the flag be reduced, as it looks much too large?

This is really making me fear that more is being put in to the graphics than the game play mechanics.

Ironically, the symbol replacing the swastika in the screenshots is the balkenkreuz. The symbol that replaced the traditional "iron-cross" for the luftwaffe and the wehrmacht from 1939 to 1945.
In such it is as much a symbol of the Nazi-regime as the swastika.

How you going to be able to see it?... the periscope doesn't go up that high

I'm sure this will be quickly fixed in a mod for those who want it.
I personally think it's silly to be offended by a symbol, but then again, I was never oppressed by someone wearing that symbol.
