Respect for History and Modern Realities: A Request to Update Ukraine's Flag in Call of War

As a Call of War player, I greatly appreciate your work and attention to historical details. However, I would like to bring up an issue that concerns the Ukrainian community. On the "World at War" map, Ukraine is depicted under the flag of the USSR, which symbolizes Soviet occupation and an imposed identity.

In the modern context, as Ukraine fights for its independence and freedom, the use of this flag offends many players. It is associated with the aggression the country experienced during the Soviet era and continues to evoke pain, especially given recent events.

Notably, some former Soviet countries on the same map are represented with their national flags, even though these did not correspond to the realities of World War II. Replacing Ukraine's flag with its blue-and-yellow national flag aligns with your policy of reflecting modern realities.

This change would not only show respect for historical truth but also resonate positively with the international gaming community, which values sensitivity and accuracy in such matters.

"A game that respects the feelings of its players should avoid using symbols that offend."

It is also important to consider the historical context. During World War II, Ukrainian liberation movements, such as the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), actively fought for Ukraine's independence from both Soviet and Nazi occupation. The use of the blue-and-yellow flag, which was officially adopted during the period of the Ukrainian People's Republic (1918–1920), would be quite appropriate.

please support my idea and my feelings
