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

It's against german law... so it's more a "had to"...
But he looks good!

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?

nice simulation here hood v bismark.

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.

Better?

Is it me, or are the nationality flags too big?
ed: and in the wrong place in the case of this Bismark model.

Yes on both counts. But then again SH4 did the same thing. The flags were, in some cases, half the length of the ship. I guess they did it to make it easier to identify ship nationalities. I always thought it looked silly though.

But there really isn't an excuse for having the flag flying from the wrong part of the mast.

Letum · 01-21-10, 12:44 AM

Was the flag issue ever corrected via mods in SH4?

I notice we still have short wakes, but I know that can be modded.
The waves, half the length of the bismark, we are stuck with. Gah.

i agree and understand them not putting the swastika there but i just would rather see the correct flag or no flag but to intentionally put the wrong flag defeats the whole purpose of having the flag painted there for the sake of realism to begin with.

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.
