Status: offline 		Hi Darwin, I'm going to create a few new units for my mod, so I wonder what source did the team use to create silhouettes? Is it shipbucket or is it tank encyclopedia? Also, I knew how to use GIMP to create similar-looking silhouettes as those in-game, but how do I get them into the correct in-game aspect ratio?

I also like to know about improvement of that aspect ratio in updated game engine, can we use bigger images to have better view?

That is the question Darwin can clear for us.

In Red Storm the type and sizes are fixed as you note. In the new Cold War game engine the sils are PNG and twice as big 256x128, grayscale, and transparent.
