Wrong German flags on map - 11/25/2021 9:10:39 PM

Until now I've played only the West Wall scenario. Which is a blast by the way and would be a very good tutorial scenario!

I wonder why the German flags on cities and villages look like the French flag. Is that a mistake in this scenario or on purpose? It doesn't feel good to conquer "French" cities in German territory with the 5th Armored Div. ...

I mean it has to be the red one with a white circle and either the "Balkenkreuz" / bar cross or the "Hakenkreuz" / swastika in it.

Black, white, red. Remember, in some European countries the Swastika, even in games, is forbidden. Alas, you can replace them, if you wish, from some DC:CP mods.

I was going to make the same point - the bars are horizontal in other games where you can't use the swastika - indeed they are in the top left of the screen under the iron cross.

It's only a detail but I agree with the OP.

Would these mod files work in DCAO, just for this narrow change? Could you point me towards them?

You are right!

Thanks for reporting, fixed in next patch !
