Historical insignia ...

[Lensman_1]

It would be most interesting to be told whether the contentious historical markings that were never officially allowed into IL-2 (except via the unofficial STAB application) are included in COD please?
If the Luftwaffe is deprived of its tail markings then things won't look very 'real'.

Well the law in Germany hasn't changed so I guess it will be the same as the first IL-2.

Some European countries are (naturally) still a bit sensitive to the insignia... hence local laws forbidding the display of such
( and I don't think any threats of (by the usual suspects) not buying the game unless the insignia is included, will do them much good )

then again, there may or may not be an option... who knows [shrug]

Yupp if the aircraft had that certain tail marking on, here in Germany Ubi could then forget sales, as the game would then be banned from all stores here in Germany. Absolute no go here.

This topic already and the game is not even out the door. Sigh!
When the 109 blows up in front of a payer in stunning near photo-realism I can just hear him groan, as he notices for the first time there are no realistic signage.

The answer has always been no, nothing posted here or anywhere else will change it.

Oleg has also stressed that community and commercial add-ons are part of their business modelat. So I am sure control by the developers will be extremely tight on added content.

Actually the russian parliament has passed a law that outlaws "national-socialist" emblems. The actual text of said law is not very precise and could be interpreted in various ways which is why 1C (the mother corporation) decided to play it safe and remove the swastika from any of their new games. So there won't be a swastika in CoD.

You're still surprised, Luke? Sheesh ...

The funniest in this pc story is that the swatiska is not forbidden in Israel, for instance, at scale models shows, the German aircrafts are built and shown as they were.
