American Flag Backward?

Post by The_Drill_SGT »

I apologize for coming to the game late and if this was already raised, a double apology. I searched on 'flag' and found no post, so.

Why is the Allied icon show the American flag backward?

When hung vertically, the blue stars belong in the upper left.
always...

Probably because the artist thought it would stand out better if the stars were on the right and not in the middle of the other flag.

Likely, but disappointing. They did all that research on Unit patches, etc, then screwed up the US Flag.

I didn't do the flags - only the insignia.

I'm a Brit so I know about the correct way to fly the Union Flag but didn't know about how to fly the US Flag.

As this sort of thing irks me too a new version attached - put in the DAT/ART/GUI folder.
