A question about the unit symbols in the game,

Will there be options like Harpoon to use little ship/sub/plane icons.

I like the current 'NATO' used in the screenshot/videos used but i dont know what they all are. I gather the current ones are those used by the military ?

Any one know of a good basic site to help work out what they all mean for for newbs/non-military like me ?

The other thing i really liked about Harpoon was the after action report where you saw all of the weapons expended etc. Any plans for something like that as well ?

cheers
J

Hello,

All our unit icons are stored as individual files on disk so they are very easy to mod. Most of our stock icons are NTDS and/or NATO APP-6 to conform with what one usually finds on real C2 systems but you can change them to whatever you are comfortable with. We even had someone suggest a Hello Kitty mod pack :)

You can easily copy that text to paste to your own AAR or use in any other way.
