Why would 1C have not followed the same procedure with ClOD as they did with IL-2? Why would they design ClOD to be impossible (or seemingly much more difficult) to 'fix' by some 3rd party person to allow use of hakenkreuzen by those who want them? Did anyone go to jail or pay a fine in a German court for the Hakenkreuzen "mod" used in IL-2 worldwide for 9 1/2 years???

Because since last year Russia has a new law on "national-socialist propaganda" which is as clear as stirred mud. Because it is so unclear (and because of the realities of modern Russia) 1C - the mother corporation - decided to omit any swastika from new game releases for safety reasons. As it stands now even the provision of a way to add the swastika by a gamer could (theoretically) put them in serious legal troubles. All it takes is an accuser with a grudge, a state attorney with ambitions and a judge with a bad attitude and 1C is on trial. And they seem to like their show trials over there.
