502 [KOOKS] FCA_Wichita Beta Testers 2,272 posts 6,174 battles Report post #1 Posted December 20, 2017 It has been suggested before that German flag for the Imperial German Navy and pre Kriegsmarine flag be changed from the altered Kriegsmarine flag to their historic ones and correct for the time ones. However, there appears to be some legal issues with even those flags. With the new Hamburg port, there is an altered Imperial German flag flying over the city. Can we use that flag for the pre Kriegsmarine ships, as it would be closer to historically accurate and shouldn't cause any legal issues? Just a thought. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, just switching to the Weimar flag would be an acceptable alternative to the current de-Nazified flag that we now have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if the Imperial German flags have been banned as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if the Imperial German flags have been banned as well. While that might be an issue, the OP's suggestion is to use the modified flag already used on the Hamburg port in game.
