Because they've been "paid for".

For the most part, Northrop-Grumman is a corporation like any other, meaning they will pull garbage like this and bother a smaller game developer over trademark related issues. I don't support this behavior in anyway, but unfortunately that is the state of business in most of the world. Yet there are valid reasons for NG's continued existence and I'm sure many of their workers remember the legacy of Northrop and Grumman. Yes they make many systems the United States needs because one simple fact always remains true. Through use or obsolesce, old systems including aircraft, need to be replaced. Plus there are always new capabilities the US military (or foreign customers) hope to in order to counter new or existing threats. Technology is always advancing. The defense industry in the United States has been consolidated too much for my liking, and I honestly don't have much respect for the higher-level management of NG or most major corporations, defense-related or otherwise, but you're completely in the wrong to disrespect those workers and engineers.

I find it interesting to come back to the 1C forums every now and then, and still see people talking/debating the Northrup Grumman issue. AFAIK, it isn't exactly against the law; it's just a matter of legal precedent from my understanding (and no game company wants to take the risk of legal action from a giant corporation like NG).
I'm sure some of you here would gladly debate what I've just said, but it really doesn't matter. Just wait for a Yorktown-class mod to be completed (two have already been started). Remember the P-61? We thought we'd never have the one of those for the same reason, but now there's a Black Widow mod that has a better 3D model than the one originally built for Pacific Fighters. Modders can (and are) filling the gaps 1C couldn't. I only wish I had the skill or knowledge because I'd make the Enterprise myself ![]() |

![]() One thing I would love to see is for the US and IJN generic BB's to be removed from the game --- and replaced with something more authentic. Pearl Harbour map with no authentic BB's -- I guess this is all down to the NG issue. ![]() Ashe Last edited by Asheshouse; 11-12-2011 at 08:40 AM. |
