Status: offline 		Any consideration given to changing units' map icons to NATO icons?

I like seeing the vehicle silhouettes in the subunit viewer, but I would prefer something more realistic for the map.

Maybe add an option to view map units as NATO icons?

Status: offline 		We would have to change the ways units are displayed in the game because at present we use both silhouettes and NATO symbols. We would have to make changes to allow players to know when units are moving if we went to a totally silhouette based graphics display.

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		Plodder it would be an option. The default scheme is not changing. The old FPG had a way of doing a switch, but it had simplified sils. We have a bunch.
