Your history is broken. What the units didn't use and didn't want to use was the hakenkreuz.

Had you actually done some history you would have seen that the Balkenkreuz was in use by mid-April 1918 and order to be on ALL aircraft as soon as possible by order of the Luftstreitkrafte.

dog. the balkenkreuz was used for the last months of WWI (April 1918 to November 1918 to be specific) and then resurrected for the entirety of the Nazi reign (across all major service branches, btw), and then was purposefully replaced with the iron cross with flared arms that had been used prior to the balkenkreuz, because that one wasn't tainted by Nazi poo poo.

What is wrong with your brain?

"Its use resumed, with new standardized dimensions, from the beginning of the Third Reich's Luftwaffe in 1935, as part of the new Wehrmacht unified German military forces founded in mid-March 1935."

Sounds pretty heavily Nazi associated to me.

Anyway I think you can leave now. Much like the German army in ww2 you have lost this posting war.

Hate to side with Evil Merlin here, but the Balkenkreuz was in use much earlier than 1935.

I’d also hasten to add, that imagery like that used for video game poo poo, does not make one a literal Nazi.

Who were better in battle, Vikings or Visigoths?

Do you think Samurai were better than the previous two mentioned?

Don't really know. Not really my era of studies or interest. Now if you said 14th and 15th century Europe...


The Samurai really were not common until the later 12th century, so comparing them to either is a bit silly as the Viking era ended in the later 11th century.

Not really a fan of Samurai armour (very encumbering even by the 18th century) or weapons (poor quality steel with a single edge in regards to the sword)

You seem to care deeply about the Luftwaffe and Hartmann specifically, idolising them really. Would you describe yourself as a sympathiser or more a collaborator for wanting to continue their work?

There's a big difference. If you're playing a WW2 game and your plane has a big Nazi logo on the side then you're being historically accurate. Fine go for it. If you're playing a space game set in the distant future and you make organisation which name after a Nazi with a big ole Nazi logo on it then questions start to be asked.

Everything CIG does is a parody of the real thing. CIG is a parody of a game development studio, Chris is a parody of a developer, the backers are parodies of men. The Onion is pretty much obsolete at this point.

There is a huge difference between an A2A kill and you know... genocide right?

And not every A2A kill meant the pilot died. In fact most survived and were fighting the next day.

instead it's you guys arguing with a nazi on whether or not he really believes in the whole nazi mission

don't indulge this rear end in a top hat in his stupid loving game, just call him a loving limp dicked space worm and move on. modern loving fascists are like teenager heavy metal fans, it's narcissism of small differences. they have nothing else about their personality to make them interesting, so this bullshit is all they have.
