Apparently not; it was Japanese. : /

How do you guys ID flags? Or do you just have to get lucky and get close enough? Makes for pretty horrible night hunting.

This where OLC Gold MKII Environment (3rd option for me) came in VERY handy. The observation scope is to die for in this mod. I won't say too much more as I have spent so much time raving about this mod, even I'm beginning to find it slightly creepy.
It really IS that good though and seeing most flags is no problem.
