BUG - Italian Flag is wrong

Post by Telematic »

The Italian flag is wrong, the correct one should be the state flag of Kingdom of Italy (attached).

Modding the flags is not too difficult :

2 possibilities :

1. War flag of the Italian Social Republic :

Have you notice that the flags correspond to the flag at the bottom in the UI ?

2. Flag Italy-Savoy (?)

I saw this flag in a magazine this day about the Italian army during the 2nd world war as allied by German.

Which one would you prefer ?

The n.2 is historically correct. The n.1 was adopted in September 1943 from the northern part of Italy only, puppet state of Germany.

Indeed, most of the ww2 wargames use this flag n°2.
