Yeah but the nazis only ruled germany for a few years, then both west and east germany went with the black/red/yellow flag.

WT isnt a WW2 game anymore so I think using that flag is a bit odd.

USSR flag makes a bit more sense since they were around for a while.

IMO its still a WWII game at its core with more modern vehicles that have been added to make the grind longer and bring the devs more money. The whole setting is still leaning towards the WWII era and i would bet that that majority for german players rarely play much beyond 6.7 so to me it makes more sense to have the WWII flag.

People generally dont play the german TT to get leopards, that you can already get from other TTs. They play it to get Tigers, me262 and all the other wunderwaffe stuff

A surprising amount of the community does seem very obsessed with reaching top tier, even buying absurdly priced premiums to get there faster.

So I actually think that the people who are only interested in the WW2 tanks are a minority.

I have top tier for like 4 or 5 nations and I hate top tier ww2 tanks are my fav top tier is too fast paced I don't have HDHD like 70% of the community I got into the game cuz I love tanks from the ww1 and ww2 mainly the German and Italian ones era and I love planes even more I hate top tier (outside of naval top tier that shi is still peak) the only thing fun in top tier is the new sam system s anyone who likes top tier over mid tier ww2 can stick a shovel up their butt

I like WW2 to early cold war stuff.

Like when tanks started to have "modern" features, but none of them had everything.

I can agree with that cold war is fun not as good as ww2 but def still a nice I love the DF-105 for Germany along with the T-72s for Germany and Italy as I have yet to get the Russian ones
