Yes, but I think Oleg stated some time ago that he did not want to produce different versions of the game. It may also be that "producing" a historically accurate sim may be illegal in Russia. In other words, Russian law may prohibit even producing accurate software for export.
Yeah, a lot of people think the swastika should be banned. Ok, I get that (I don't agree but I get it). Of course, the "Red Star" and "Hammer and Sickle" are banned in some countries too (many people were oppressed and died under those symbols too).
So if we follow that line of thinking, how should Russian planes be marked? Should "you" have to play the sim without those symbols on Russian planes because another country banned them?
Nothing I have said should be construed as negative to 1C's decisions regarding the legalities. My comments are about the laws themselves and the effects they have on others.
