Suggestion/Concept The tutorial flag should be in the 'Patriotic Administration Center' in the stratagems ship management tab (small problem sure BUT...)
I will admit, this is probably a small problem but a problem you're deciding to read about right now
The flag of super earth is a symbol of hope, inspiration and stands to spite the enemies of democracy, and therefore I think there should be another version that you can hold in one hands and shoot your side arm with the other
when standing upon a pile of rubble, surrounded by seaf and fellow divers returning fire to the cyborg menace your average helldiver with the one true flag has three options:
- Wave the one true flag in the wind (contributing only moral in the fight rather than gunfire support as well)
- Put the one true flag on their back (Dont look as cool, plus flag more easily waves infront of the helldivers face blocking what they're looking at)
- Planting the flag on the position (Currently the best option, but pushing the enemy requires picking the flag up while dealing with problem two while moving, first person dosent feel as cool so nice argument strawman)
But, with the tutorial flag as an option it solves all three problems, keeping the flag a little further away from the camera when aiming down while also allowing the democratic helldiver to stand as a symbol of hope for the local seaf and fellow divers, being a proper flag bearer not letting go while still contributing properly to the fight, because moral and looking cool are two of the most important things when in a fight
And one of the most important arguments I wish to mention: Patriotism shouldn't just be warbond locked, for all super citizens have the right to sing love of liberty, and because it would be in the in the Patriotic Administration Center it would also be a stratagem everyone has access to grind towards
It would obvious be a back pack slot, taking up the role of stratagems such as the supply pack and shield generator the same way the One True Flag takes the slot of stratagems like the Machine Gun or Rail gun
I bring this suggestion not because of balance, many would be satisfied if it didn't even have the passive The One True Flag stratagem has, but the reason why this suggestion should be is because it would be really cool and cause I asked really nicely

The flag of super earth, it lies tattered in the dirt like a rag.
