carss Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I was looking at different factions and thinking of different scenarios one could make using various factions for the upcoming Marianas island map. I found out that Taiwan wasn't in the list of factions. Can this please be added sometime soon? Thank you! :thumbup: 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Taïwan got F86, and now still gets F5 , F16 and Mirage2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Before someone starts arguing if Taiwan (or rather The Republic of China) is actually a country, let me just say this: We have Abkhazia and South Ossetia as factions in DCS, so whatever the answer to this question is, it shouldn't really matter. 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

oldcrusty Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Absolutely should be there. In my MP sessions in another sim majority of 'skirmishes' were set in that particular theater. Well, in that sim as you all know the playground could be placed anywhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugais Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 If Eagle Dynamics want to sell its products to chinese customers, they probably don't want to upset the authorities and "recognize" Taiwan as an independent faction. Much bigger companies are forced to bend their own policies to please the Party. I'm all about a Taiwanese faction,I even made some time ago a plea for a Strait of Taiwan map but I highly doubt we can get those. 3rd Wing | 55th Black Alligators * BA-33 Εις ανηρ ουδεις ανηρ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extranajero Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 If you look in the /Data directory of your DCS installation you'll find a file called " censor.lua " which is full of Chinese characters and English words and phrases that are unpopular with the Chinese Communist Party or refer to URL's they don't like. I think that probably should tell you how likely it is that you'll get a Taiwan faction... --------------------------------------------------------- PC specs:- Intel 386DX, 2mb memory, onboard graphics, 14" 640x480 monitor Modules owned:- Bachem Natter, Cessna 150, Project Pluto, Sopwith Snipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow it's not just a few phrases like "Tiananmen square", though of course that is in the list. There are over 21,000 entries! I know they want the chinese money, but I'm kind of disappointed that ED would do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xilon_x Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Saying Taiwan is part of China is like saying Japan is a part of Korea. Even in China, among the consequences of the Second World War, there was the rift in the country. In fact, the Kuomintang nationalists, led by the "generalissimo" Chiang Kai-shek, perched on the island of Formosa to found the Republic of China in 1949, which today has about 23 million inhabitants, and is also known as Taiwan. yes the name of the TAIWAN Air Force is that:The Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF; Chinese: 中華民國空軍; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínguó Kōngjūn,) is the military aviation branch of the Republic of China Armed Forces. The ROCAF's primary mission is the defense of the airspace over and around Taiwan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer1-1 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I meant in the fact that they are island nations off the coast of the continent. I know who the Kuomintang represent.

Swift. Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 There are only a few countries in the world that recognise Taiwan: Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Nicaragua, Palau, Paraguay, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, Solomon Island, Tuvalu, Vatican City So it seems that for most countries (including Russia) Taiwan isn't officially a Nation. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
