Nazi Symbolism on TR decals

[Neutral Calypso]

Okay. Is this really appropriate?

There is an iron cross vehicle decal on the Terran Republic called "Grand Army Vehicle Decal"

If the resolution is not good enough for you, get on a TR character and look at it in the shop.

Meanwhile, NC gets something called "Space America" which looks like NC wanted to plagiarize the American flag.

Ooookay guys. Are you trying to tell us that NC is the U.S. and TR are nazis?

If so, I am royally pissed off.

Not cool, SOE. Not cool at all.

I'm just not seeing anything worth getting worked up about. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_cross)

You do realize the Iron Cross has been a symbol for German Military long before AND long after the Third Reich, correct? Hell its been around longer than the concept of Germany has, since 1219 infact under the Teutonic Knights. And its not a stretch at all to say the TR are somewhat totalitarian, and that the NC could very easily be painted as a criticism of current american politics. (Expousing Freedom while trying instead to strengthen the hold of corporations).

Edit: I would also love to see you walk up to a current German Army member and call him a Nazi because he was wearing the Iron Cross, which is the current symbol for their military.

The Iron Cross is not a nazi symbol, and is indeed still the symbol of the moden Bundeswehr. The design isn't even particularly similar. Sorry dude.

You're wrongly trying to equate the Iron Cross to the Nazi Swastika.

[Silent Thunder]

Also let's be honest, both are a tounge-in-cheek nod to what many players commonly refer to the empires as.

Indeed.
