Well, we're not discussing the use of the svastika in general, we're discussing the use of it as a Nazi symbol, and clearly the one on the german planes was not here to say good luck, it was here to symbolize the Nazi party. A few countries have strict laws about its use, a number of veterans feel sick knowing people would like to fly these colours in a simulation (yes, I know one veteran who is disgusted by the idea that people insist on having svastika in Il2, he's my uncle, and I respect his opinion more than anything else, he suffered from this symbol more than any of us can imagine), if you want to mod it in your own privacy, I don't care, but please don't make it this drama. I appreciate historical realism, but I can also live without a svastika in IL2, I still don't get why it's such a drama not to have them.
