Why is Ukraine still represented under the flag of the USSR on the "World at War" map? This flag is a symbol of occupation imposed by Soviet Russia, and it deeply offends Ukrainians, especially now, as the country fights for its freedom.
Several former Soviet countries in the game already use their modern national flags. Why not show the same respect for Ukraine by replacing the outdated symbol with its national blue-and-yellow flag? This would reflect historical justice and align with modern values.
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.
As a dedicated player of this game, I genuinely admire its complexity, historical depth, and the engagement it offers. However, I cannot remain indifferent to what feels like a misrepresentation and disrespect towards my nation. Discrimination in any form-be it through symbols or decisions-undermines the inclusive spirit that games like this strive for. I urge the developers to consider this change as a step towards greater historical accuracy and respect for all players, regardless of nationality.
Hello Drot!
Thank you for reaching out with your concern! I know that most other maps use the Ukrainian flag already instead of the USSR one. So i will talk to the devs to figure out if it was an intentional choice for the World at War map or merely an oversight!
And while i fully empathize that this is an important topic to you, please don't spam multiple boards with the same topic. Thank you very much!
Thank you. I appreciate your understanding and your willingness to address this matter with the development team. I also want to apologize for any inconvenience caused by my repeated posts. I didn’t intend to spam, but rather to ensure that more people were aware of this issue and could support my national sentiments, as it’s something that is deeply important to me.
