Unfortunately we don't have a Welsh flag in the game just yet. Hoping to add another wave of Flags in the future though!

Here's hoping Lithuanian flag makes it in.

Will have to settle for European union, this event.

I'd be interested in SMALLER flags that don't take up half the view. Maybe ribbons with symbols instead, like a green ribbon with a harp for Ireland or a red/white/black ribbon with an iron cross for germany and a blue and white flur-de-le (or however you say it for the French! Old/Imperial symbols and flags are so much cooler. Who wants a Mexican flag that looks like an Italian flag that looks like an Irish flag? BORING.

Not sure if trolling or not knowing what you are talking about. That flag is called the "Reichskriegsflagge", the War flag of the german Reich, and in the form you write it of the 3rd Reich. No German with any modicum of historical knowledge and responsibility would fly that flag.

Philippine flag pls...... and for those Asian region players Asian Servers

yeah but i think we all the asian players need to spend a bit cash... no point of setting up a region server here if they dont get enough rev from this region

[Jeffrey Wilder]

Hmm.....so a total of 144 games?

[shopsmart]

PGI is using the event to test out their server loads. Reward people to play, watch the numbers, fix bugs and traffic problems. We get stuff for aggrevation. Seems like a win.

Hopefully!

The NA drops will be best.. ..ping this end settled to 230, but for EU server its like 340, that's going to be a pain. Time to ditch the SRM's for streaks on a few mechs..

Don't worry, you'll get used to it like most of the Asia Pacific players.

Fingers crossed for Lithuania.

Yeah, if you want 6 flags. And no, not the amusement park.

To me its 72 matches because I just want the 6M c-bills. Not that interested in the flags, already got one.

I am thinking of this flag. Always my favorite German flag. Cool eagle, predates the 3rd Reich as far as I know.

6 points: x5 C-Bill Consumable prize pack (3 UAV, 3 Air Strike, 3 Cool Shot)

So how many consumables of each type (and which type of Cool Shot) is this?
15 UAV, 15 Air Strike, 15 Cool Shot 9? (x6, once for each mode/region)
But I suspect the x5 or 3 are leftovers from a previous tournament.

Whatever the answer, except for the everyone-ignores-everything-for-30pts this is a nice event
(finally no Hula items)

Unfortunately, the flag you posted, despite technically predating the 3rd Reich, was used by their precursors in the 1920's when protesting the Weimar government, and therefore is "guilty by association".

The "x5 C-Bill Consumable prize pack (3 UAV, 3 Air Strike, 3 Cool Shot)" language never made sense to me either.

x5 what exactly?

It's 5 of each consumable module.

However, PGI went the super cheap route and are giving you Cool Shot 6 instead of Cool Shot 9x9.

It predates the Weimar government. The KKK waves the American flag. Do we judge the Stars and Stripes because some fascists wave it around? Cuba's flag is based on the Stars and Stripes, but they are a totalitarian state. By your logic, the Stars and Stripes should be banned because it inspired the Cuban flag. And as long as we are at it, why does PGI allow the Republic of China to have a flag, which is definitely a totalitarian state responsible for killing 45 million plus people? Imperial Germany isn't the same as {Godwin's Law} germany by a long shot. The logic doesn't click with me. PGI may not want to make the old country flags or symbols - like England's golden lions, Imperial Chinese dragons, or Germany's black eagle, but if they do, they better not pick and choose which cultures get picked by your methods of selection and/or censorship!

As far as guilt by association, the US flag flew during the slave era and during the genocide of millions of American Indians. Take down one flag because of guilt by association, and you're going to have to take a whole lot more of them down unless, of course, politics is at work here, and not logic or history.... hmmmm.....

We know that there are many countries not currently represented in-game with a Cockpit Flag. While I would love for us to be able to add every flag for every nation, it isn't feasible for us to do so in one fell swoop. We are currently compiling a list of requested flags for future inclusion into the game, but at this time I can't provide a solid ETA for when these flags might arrive.
Please note however that we would only be adding contemporary flags currently in-use by the country in question.
