I updated all flags to be more detailed and closer to the color of their historical basis.

Hi, I didn't expect to find my humble texture pack on the forums, I thought nazi stuff is strictly prohibited here. Anyway, I made a small update with new Finnish stuff introduced in 2.56 if anyone's interested. Now it doesn't look like finns had run out of paint or something :)

P.S. it'd be nice if post author included the source where he got "his" moded textures from, cheers :)

Thanks GermanAlpaca!

Btw... didn't Germany just lift ban on Nazi symbols in video games?

They did 2 years ago, but it isn't so clear as it seems to be. It's still safer to just censorship it, sadly:
Quote
The ban on extremist symbols is still in place, but rating body USK said the rules will now be applied to video games in the same way they are used for films. On a case-by-case basis, a game could get past the rating procedure if an artistic or dramatic use is justified.

It also said a game which is clearly opposed to the banned group's ideals could qualify - which is the case for many games that require large numbers of Nazi soldiers to be killed by the player.

Ban isn't lifted automatically, dunno how to apply it to game like FH2, not to mention that adding swastika with all nazi fanboys we already have to deal with on the servers could lead FH2 into troubles, since there is a lot of edgy kits glorifying nazis as soon as there are no admins on line.
