Default Swastik

Why there is no swastik symbol in any German plane in IL2. I know it is forbidden to use as a political symbol or something like that. Or is it also forbidden to use in PC games. I would like to shoot down those planes with swastik on it. Hope BOB will have this in the game if they want it as historically accurate as possible.

There is a utilty that enables the swastika on german planes - someone else will point you in the right direction as I'm not sure where it is. Maybe google 'swastika enabler, IL2'

Don't wind yourself up too much about it.. that swastika enabled plane might just shoot you down..

Officialy there won't be such signs in BOB. They are forbidden in all variants.

No mate, that's what the last lot who flew the swastika did, which is why they can't be used.

Basically it is rather simple. several countries have laws against the offending sign so no PC Game sold in those countries can display it.
So to widen the target market for the sims the offending sign is not displayed.
Modders will obviously make it available in SOW as they have done in Il2.
So the choice is yours as a consumer. If you want them by all means get them but do not expect the developers to lose sleep over putting them in. It is purely a financial decision. If they want to sell games in Austria and German etc they must lose the offending symbol.
