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

[PeterPanPan]

I agree. Struck me as a little odd and not based on fact. Could be wrong of course .

Perhaps it has more to do with the huge amount of time/effort required to build a convincing damage model for the likes of Buck Pal?!

AV. np,

I wouldn't mind that some buildings that didn't get damaged during the Bob and blitz are indestructable e.g. st paul's cathedral. Why there are such laws excist could be somekind of national pride? Or other reasons? Some simulators removed landmarks after 9/11 so it isn't possible to crash into them or such...

Interesting law... Even more interesting if games like the GTA series or Postal are allowed

I've never heard of this in relation to london...after the RAF bombed Berlin I always understood it was total war from that point....i do know that Buckingham Palace was bombed...imo its a simulation therefore everything should be destructable. maybe add plenty points for hitting historic targets or targets of national importance.

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.

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).
