    • Customizing Names and Unit Division's

      Customizing units I believe is something most players want, For example, you click on your medium tank division and see "22nd Medium tank division" this unit has like 15 confirmed kills you start to give it a name in your head but want to see it on the actual unit, this unit is your best so how cool would it be if you could rename them to something like '7th Panzer Division' or if this is a Solo Elite Unit tank wouldn't it be sick to name it 'Fury' or 'Eagle 7' or give it its own flag? Your enemies would see this and check its status or do what they do and they would turn tail and run! Or like naming an Elite Fighter Squadron of yours something like 'Jagdgeschwader 11' or another awesome name. I feel like these customizational options would make the units your play with feel like Your Units, Your Divisions that have been through it all with their awesome General.

      Another customizational feature I thought that would bring this all together is if you had 3 options whilst loading into your nation for a flag, Germany for example, you have 3 flag options 1. Is the Nazi parties flag during World War Two. 2. is the German flag before Hitler changed it 3. would be the flag after World War Two.

      I think that these options would incredibly expand the player's personality and the gameplay also.

      Neat idea, giving players this function would unfortunately probably lead to abuse on the game's terms of service.

      We are allowed to name battleships and expensive units right?

      Why would division names be any different. Also, what part of the ToS does this violate?
      As I stated giving people the option to choose their own names could definitely lead to these types of violations. Not that I don't think it would be neat, I just see potential problems.

      From the terms of service
      It is strictly prohibited to chose a name with content which is pornographic, racist, inciteful, glorifies war and/or violence, offensive or otherwise illegal (or in this case a tank division name)

      From the in-game rules
      Imagery related to fascism and National Socialism is strictly forbidden. If you use such symbols, names, or praise of National Socialism and fascism

      Got it.

      Just wondering what the legal implications were.
    • Good suggestion. It can be added when the division goes "enthusiastic" read my article Veterancy and Enthusiasm.
      But there's a drawback. Some dumb players will give names like... Abusive/fascist/racist/sexist/nfsw.. So not a good suggestion until the devs make sure anything inappropriate doesn't go there.
