Nats- your rant is actually very funny, and very wrong in so many ways (I cant be bothered pointing out how wrong, except to say that without the Soviet Union bleeding the Wermacht and Luftwaffe white there would have been no chance of the Allied nations storming into Europe).
When this series continues into other theatres of WW2 it will make a lot of sense to keep a simple colour scheme to set which side is which.
No-one is trying to rewrite history that Britain was communist, if that is what is bothering you

I just wonder then, how they feel having communist color in their flag?

LOL!- CoD is a communist plot.
They are using this game as a way to restart the cold war- thanks for enlightening me. Now i realise Oleg Maddox was a sneaky USSR operative making me play as a red communist
On a more serious note- the intention all along has been that this game will be a series covering all the major theatres of WW2, so it would be unnecessarily confusing to swap colours depending on theatres. When Pacific Fighters came out it caused a lot of angst among those who were familiar with the history of the Pacific theatre to see the Japanese noted as blue. In the end it's not a big deal, but if you want to turn it into an argument about history i'm game (but the last time i did that the thread got deleted).

Don't forget Italy. It is UK vs Germany/Italy in CoD.

It seems to me that the only color that "truly" matters here is...green.

Thats what I was saying....

I've tried to write an honest response twice now to nat's posts on this - and both times have given up and binned the efforts, as I realised the utter ridiculousness of what I was trying to put down in words.

The bolded part above gets the gist.

6 pages on this non-issue??!!

Well, I play simulators for the immersion..
I want to feel like I'm in 1940 flying in the battle of britain..

Anything that adds immersion and historical atmosphere is important in my book..
But obviously performance takes priority right now..
