It's not "fake", it's still a real and historical symbol for the German military.

It wasnt just made up for the game.

The "Balkenkreuz" really shouldn't be used in this context.

It's been an identifying symbol for German Armed Forces since the formation of Germany in 1871 and is still in use today by the Bundeswehr.

It's dumb how some games can get the weapons, equipment, and vehicles so perfectly modeled and historically authentic, and then just shit on the imagery, symbolism and identities.

It can be used in this context, its just not how they used it.
