I would like to try to use them in my 8.0 Ukraine on fire 2022 scenario instead of the vehicle and weapon silhouettes.
Or if you explain to me how to do it using appropriate programs I am not able to program without instructions.
Thanks for your attention

I’m starting a new topic to capture this subject.JB007 wrote: Sun Feb 23, 2025 11:06 am Thanks for your interest, I knew this site https://www.battleorder.org/icons for icons updated according to US Army/NATO symbology. The problem is how to update them and insert them into the Equipment256 folder and the Units folder to create databases updated to the current era.
Thanks for your collaboration, best regards.
I looked at the web site you listed, some of the NATO symbols are easy to make but others are rather complex and I doubt that they will be easy to read as Equipment256 graphics.
As I mentioned before, as the first step you need to make a plan for the new unit icons you want to create. Make a list, make a sketch of the icon graphics and then you can decide on whether the change is doable.
The program I use for making unit graphic changes is Paint.net. Suggest you download a copy and become familiar with its capabilities.
