I mean, lots of other Russian teams, video games, movies, books, etc, continue to splash swastikas all over their work and they don't get in trouble, but who knows what the climate will be in a year or two or five. We'd rather stay 100% legal, and that means no swastikas, no SS runes, no portraits of Hitler, and so on. We have a wide variety of historical posters for example appear randomly on our buildings (British in England, French and German in France) and we scrubbed out anything remotely Nazi from the German ones. So trust me, there won't be a hidden swastika feature.

Thanks for that detailed reply. In the long run, it's not a big deal, as I'm sure modders will be releasing skins with swastikas on them within days (if not hours) after the game's release.
Speaking of skins, will the skins that ship with the game be moddable, or will they be hard-coded, like the defaults in IL2?
