The thing that many of you do not understand is that we have global implications to think about when we produce content. NOT just regional.
So case in point, the ensign for the JMSDF, yes it is currently being used, but is banned in certain parts of the world, so we chose to not utilize that image. There are mods that add it in, and the individual can chose to load that.
As a Japanese American I can understand those sensitivities and it is in our right to chose to also be sensitive to them. Like certain imagery of other Navy's might be banned in certain parts of the world.
It has NOTHING to do with "cherry picking" it often has legal ramifications so often to avoid this, we chose to do artist renditions.
MANY games do this, though some may not chose to do so. This is what we do.
We continue to give support to the USS Texas foundation and we have more plans in the future, so this is not far from possibility.
