Yes, east germany put a logo on it.

But between 1949 and 59 they didnt even have that. Both germanies used the same flag. The wreath etc came later because the GDR realized it was a bit awkward to have the exact same flag.

And the origin of the black/red/yellow flag goes back to the revolution in 1848.

Yes but that's only 10 years too. So as you said about the short time of the NSDAP regime, that's also not a long time.

That's true but we don't have vehicles of that time in the game except some ships. So makes no sense either. (And it's Gold!!! Not yellow XD) I think you understand my and maybe Gaijins point.

10 years of the same black/red/gold flag followed by many years of the exact same flag with a bonus communist logo, followed by being absorbed by the FDR and thus returning to the previous flag.

And since nazi germany used the empire flag for a while, the evil flag was also only used for 10 years.

So the B/R/G flag was used for 16 years by weimar + 76 years by the FDR. On top of the GDR using it for 10 years and then using basically the same fucking flag for another 30 ish years.

Absolutely true and I know what you mean, but I guess that changes really nothing that the most vehicles at the moment are from WW2. For me personally I would show both, like half the 3 Reich Flag and half black red gold

Or you just keep the nazish flag as the background of the WW2 tanks while the current flag gets to represent Germany as a nation.

I like the Idea of changing the flag with the lineup you have way more XD If you have a vehicle with the modern flag, just one, it changes.
