I had a look at the German HQs using Arkady's Unit Viewer, and I assume you meant the same tracked HQ unit using the Unit Graphics mode (not NATO mode)?

That's the same tracked mobility indicator on that view as well, to separate it from your regular HQs. Again, these are the limitations we've got at the moment with JTCS, until we get the new 2D view modes into it sometimes in 2016.

For what it's worth here's a comparison to tracked HQ units both in "Middle East" and East Front:

Those are real sized chits by the way, so there's quite a difference in pixels available for modeling the units... Again, this will be landing to JTCS when the 2.1 UPDATE hits the streets next year.

In my next Developer Diary, in a week or two, I will discuss how to create a Unit Counter Mod for "Middle East". Here's a little teaser until then

He may also be referring to the truck, or motorized indicator, which is on the right side of the HQ marker in 2d graphical view.

German HQs in JTCS have this as a motorized HQ, although it seems to be the same 2D icon. And again in comparison what larger icons allow us:

Yes, those are the "big black dots" I saw -- Tracked and Motorized HQs.

Now I know what they are (and that they're not program bugs)!

Thanks for your replies, fellas. Most helpful.

Really looking forward to the big update to JTCS in 2016. In the meantime... game on!
