Would be a nice gimmick, but one nobody would notice after some time played....

It is a really nice detail. In the games from Batman Arkham series, Batman's cloak get holes and loose slices while you fight, and everyone can easily notice this.

I would love to see something like this. It will definitely add to the immersion. The devs could always go a different way with it besides literally being torn by bullets. They could allow each online player run regiment (clan) to designate their flag. The more battles this regiment participates in with the flag, the more torn the flag is.... Just a thought

Yea, I think it would be a really cool feature. Imagine though if you were in a Hornet's Nest of gun fire and your flag was destroyed, that is something that really happened and it would be an emotional moment. RIP Daisy The Flag

Pull back the whole regiment without a loss because the flag got shot.

I don't think its possible to add real-time bullet holes into the flags.
But each flag could have 3 different "destruction" layers, which will be activated when the unit is under fire.

Like: 1) clean, 2) some holes in it) 3) nearly destroyed, parts missing.

Great!

So you can see on the flag of a company how much or intense their fight(s) was?

Of every unit ingame. If it would be dynamic like that, you chould see how intense their fights are, yes :)

Actually, I'm pretty sure Nvidia had a system for dynamic cloth and holes in it in the like, featured in Mirror's Edge.

I have no idea if you could use it, but yeah.

A 3/4 stage degrading flag would work wonders.

A similar system to the visual effects of one's rifle getting dirty over a prolonged firefight that we've seen in media before.
