| Player2 said: Maybe I should've been more clear in my first post. The issue with the W25 is that the government handed money to German car manufacturers because they wanted to use (their victories in) car racing as a way to promote their German superiority propaganda (racism). This isn't the case of the VW Beetle. EDIT - That being said, I'm fine with cars like the W25 or the Auto Union C in games like Forza or GT, they're part of motor racing history. But as one of the only three real life cars which are already out of place in a game with fantasy cars? No. |
The VW Beetle propaganda promised mass motorization in Germany to demonstrate the technological advancement compared to other countries (and social superiority compared to capitalism). Ok, they haven't shipped a single one to customers because of the war. Same with the Reichsautobahn, it was completely useless and only used by a handful of vehicles per day.
But yeah, the history marketing of German car manufacturers is still pretty terrible.
