On the top of my head. Demo, mine, B-4, Bm-13. Well anything that goes Boom and doesn't put your own units in danger.
I agree it is annoying but you just need that one hit to gimp the opponent. |
Better than Obersoldaten thats for sure. Still not satisfied though. |
Again, a POTENTIAL market of 80 million people. Do you care to take a guess as to where the CoH franchise has made most of its capital? The UK, Canada and the US or Germany, France and Russia? I'll place my bet on the former. Please be realistic here, most people who bought CoH2 are from Canada, the UK and the US and I'd be willing to wager that the sales from Germany, Russia and etc are very small compared to UK and North American sales. Relic won't lose anything if they chose not to sell CoH2 in Russia and Germany, since the potential markets there are abysmal at best.
As I've said it is not much but there is still something. And it would show up as sales not done. Even if by just 0,2% it is too much for what is perceived as a very small adjustment. |
The Swastika isn't banned in the UK, Canada and the US which is where the CoH franchise has made most of its capital, so if Relic were to add swastikas(I wouldn't want them on vehicles since most German vehicles had the iron cross on it instead of Swastikas) I really can't see it affecting the franchise. Relic already pissed off the Russians and no amount of pandering is going to win them back, so it's pointless to appease them, and there's not enough Germans(Countries where the Swastika is banned) that play this game, where it will impact the longevity of the franchise.
Anyways, it's important to note that Relic is a Canadian developer and as such there is no law here in Canada that prohibits someone from displaying Nazi imagery both in public and in private. I could raise a Nazi flag on my front yard and it would be legal. So really, there's literally nothing stopping Relic from adding Swastikas to the game- they've just chosen not to since I think they were trying to market this game to Russians, but it obviously backfired
Germany is still a market of 80 million people. In sales for coh2 that is a couple of thousand games, commanders and other p2w stuff not getting sold because they went with swastikas instead of the iron cross.
A slight artistic change or less monies? Any company that goes with the latter isn't doing what it is supposed to be doing. And yes the one and only reason for any company to exist is to generate revenue.
They are responsible primarily to their investors and shareholders NOT their customers. |

Welcome to Comrade Yuris guide to Smoke!
So Comrades you have smoke but is not sure if fascist dogs still can see you? Да this can be hard problem. But there is quick solution to problem. But it requires very careful analysis so be careful when consuming Vodka before battle.
Is true, Peoples Commissar Voroshilovs ordered minimum 100 grams of Vodka per day, but do not consume all before battle.
Now before you throw smoke is fascist shooting at you? If Njet, why throw smoke suka? Are you sabotaging war effort by wasting the resources the Soviet peopled have slaved to get you? Stupid suka should learn how people and comrade Stalin toil for victory!
So enemy is shooting when you throw smoke. This is good as they waste their bullets shooting. Now when smoke is hit do they continue shoot or do they look like they just lost potato? If they are still shooting you are not in smoke Comrade! Fire at the Germans you too! Or run in smoke because ordered to move back two steps. BUT ONLY IF ORDERED Comrade! Not one step back without order!
They do not shoot? Good you are in smoke? Why are you in smoke? You cannot shoot if in smoke, get out of smoke and kill more Fascists.
If fascists have tank look if turret is moving, this means he still can see you and fire. Destroy tank with fierce rage and love for Comrade Stalin and Soviet Motherland.
Вы понимаю? Good now go throw much smoke and destroy fascist invaders! |
In my opinion, historical accuracy is more important than political correctness in games , but hey that's just me.
It isn't political correctness it is have the game sold in certain countries or having it banned. |
Yes.. the more you know indeed...
I edited mine as well.
Ok from now on lets just make new posts?
So like the VP flags and above buildings occupied and such? |

So pretty much this means that only in video games you can't use the nazi swastika, which is dumb itself when the hammer and sickle is fine and all,I don't know if it was because of 50 years of propaganda or people are simply ignorant about the atrocities commited by the soviets, so I'd say it's about time they all get banned or allowed.
Well most countries that have banned swastikas only ban the PUBLIC display of them. As in you can't walk around a street with a nazi-style swastika or fly it over your house. In many countries the same goes for hammer and sickle.
But it is only that in Germany basically any entertainment can't have them. So devs don't want to loose out on that 80 million people market. |
Was unaware of most of what I read in that link.
The more you know
But i edited that post so read it again and we can get a good discussion going |
