Well, but look to the bright side, at least there is still someone working on it, it's good for the community anyway. It's unfortunate that they don't credit me if they are using my designs. The Swastika which is central to the flag and symbolism is a motif far older and more ancient than the Rising Sun. It was not a symbol 'made for the occasion' like the NSDAP flag. This section includes the mods that affect the visual component of the game. But I'm sure the shell reloading and other reticle animations, armor recognition scheme, the intelligent arty crosshair and all other designs are my original. Thats because the 'Rising Sun' has much more ancient roots than the Imperial Navy of WWII. In the middle of my mod development, I did learn some Russian reticle types and designs from HARDscope mod and made my own later on, given him credits ever since. added Replace Flags branch with japan navy/ukrainian/taiwanese options select your replace flag mod again - added Lastomer 2.
Speaking of HARDscope, I'm not sure if I was the first one who started to make historical crosshair or he was, the two mods were at RU and EU forums separately, maybe we both started modding on each side not knowing each other at the beginning. Yes it was historical crosshair, now it's available from some russian and is called HARDscope: for now i will focus on doing american flags (we are in NA server), but i intend to do european flags as well, i pretend to spread my content across all servers (eventually).
