  1. ...from where i suddenly feel the strong urge to quote this:

    "ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR, ESPECIALLY OF A RELIGIOUS OR DEFAMING NATURE, TOWARD OTHER MEMBER OR MEMBERS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT BANNING. "

    and

    "jon_j_rambo" "banned"

    @ ransom552

    Please Ignore the last remark of jjr, because at buntaland you won't find any swastikas and surely no help to install them. buntaland is simply another forum, where some active and former battlefront forum members meet and talk about SC, others games -what actually is not possible here at the SC forum- and about all the rest in the world. A certain member was banned there because he spreaded lies. At first only about one member, and after his banishment, about all of them. Usualy he claims that they are all nazis. That would -by his definition- include me as well.

    But back on topic:

    Ransom552, honestly, I simply don't understand your morbid fascination about the swastica symbols.

    If they appear on historical pictures, well, ok. But why do you want them in the game engine?

    Don't you know or understand what happend 70 years ago under this sign?

    The "Balkenkreuz" / iron cross is a military symbol used by the Reichswehr, the Wehrmacht and the Bundeswehr. It the the ONE symbol of choice to represent german armed forces.

    The swastika itself is no specific "german" symbol.

    Take a read at wikipedia about it (and better about all the nazi crimes as well) and think if you REALLY need it in the game anymore.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika#As_the_symbol_of_Nazism

    I would advice to not use it, as it represents (at least in my eyes) in short every bestiality the german Nazis did between 1925 - 1945.

    And i feel no need to get, to see, to use such a symbol in a GAME.

    If you decide, that you need the swastika, i would suggest to write one of the modders an email. I think those guys know what to do to introduce new flags. Maybe it is even in the manual. Manual, that is this pdf-file or even the printed handbook, where usually no one cares to read in.

    ;)

    I am sorry if this has raised some sort of thoughts on my character, it was never intended.

    I am pushing 60, grew up in post war Britain and now live in Australia

    I am well aware of what the symbol stands for and all the evil perpetrated under that flag, but simply I was looking for the historical accuracy of the flag, nothing more.

    I am happy for this topic to be closed, it was never my intention to offend anyone, I can only offer my apologies if that is the impression I created.
