Which country is preventing me from committing high-treason and attempted regicide?

But people still shooting at any possible "avatar" of middle east peole in current sims...

Strange world we live! LOL!

Probably has more to do out of respect to another nation and its leaders/buildings. People are overly sensitive these days and Oleg may not have wanted to go down another PF trip. Not sure if there is any law or other reason Oleg mentioned it.

Probably not the best examples but both Modern Warfare 2 and Fallout 3 (both commercially successful, widely recognized games) depict Washington D.C. and its various historically significant buildings and monuments in various states of destruction, ruin and decay. I don't recall there being any outrage over that, by Americans or otherwise...

as an aussie with republican leanings, it was kind of the first building i was planning on targeting on my first sortie in a stuka.

but then i had to stop and think. i really would have missed all those wonderful tabloid scandals - squidgygate and the like - so i'd more likely leave them alone.

and i thought the palace actually took some hits from the hun in 1940?

My guess is it's out of respect, not so much written law. In Olegish it's quite common that ideas like this can get mixed up since people of Oleg's character consider respect more like a law than an opinion.

I would prefer it if it could sustain damage, but surround it with an impenetrable wall of AAA, Barrage balloons and fighter screen.

Also if it was damaged, the demeanour of the defending AI forces should become extremely agitated and aggressive, and be solely focused on destroying the offending aircraft.

Also the crew upon return to their aerodrome should then be arrested, court-martialled, stripped of rank and summarily shot for disobeying the strict orders not to attack the palace.

Well that's what I'ld do!

If they model the Reichstag or Brandenburg Gate in a future SoW module, will they indestructible as well? Here's hoping there won't be the usual double standard in gaming.

It's not too much to ask I guess. At least they aren't likely to wait until SoW is almost ready for release, then launch an NG style lawsuit to screw money out of Oleg for representing their buildings and public places in the sim.

Don't forget those games were developed in the USA. When the last Indiana Jones movie ran in the theaters the russian government was displeased with the way russians were displayed in the movie. Imagine in an american movie someone blowing up the Kremlin. We've never seen important buildings blowing up by rivaling nations, only the suggestion of it as a result of an unfortunate "accident" sparking total war (like in Dr. Strangelove).

is absurd, but I respect
