Historically inaccurate planes and medals

Ubisoft has never replied to any question of whom it was that may have denied them permission. No direct question, letter, or post on this has ever been acknowledged by them. There is just the assertion by a moderator that permission was denied by someone unknown.

US Dept. of Defense regulations specifically permit such artistic use of such emblems. There is no ban.

Ubisoft is selling games currently and has recently released others that contain accurate representations of US decorations. Il2-46, for example, comes with a complete set of US decorations and is currently on store shelves. There are even games in which US decorations are part of the name or cover art, not just appearing on a internal game screen.

I'm greatly disappointed by the lack of accurate medals in SH4, and I think it's not correct that it's illegal to use examples of the real medals in the game, other games use them! Also I keep getting a repeat of the same "Cross" medal yet it shows just one in my case, no oak leaves or clusters for additional awards of the same medal. I think Ubi has failed miserably on this point. I love the game but the medals area is definately a disappointment for sure. Winning the medals is part of the fun to me.

Um, the US planes from SH3 (some wholely built by modders I think)was converted to SH4 a while ago. Look at the sticky list of mods, I think it's in there. B-24, Hudson, F4F, P-38, PBY, and TBF.

Hmm, not in the stickie thread. Here it is:
