Symbology question

[HWolfe1963]

I understand the unit/group icons pretty well, especially when I use NTDS, which I'm familiar with. But what does the little black triangle over the yellow square on some units mean? That one I haven't figured out yet. Thanks!

It means they have aircraft on board. (Or boats too)

pg 262 in the manual...

"Unless the air base is small enough and/or the attacker strong
to simply smother it, determining where the individual
aircraft are is essential. For aircraft parked in the open, this is
as simple as moving a unit with optical sensors close enough
to detect and/or identify them. Under the “contact reports”
window, the detected aircraft will appear under the “Spotted
Hosted Units” tab, they will appear on the message log when
detected/identified, and on the map, a black triangle in a
yellow box will mark any facility with hosted units inside"

I'd suggest taking a look at that section because the concept behind the symbol is a little more complex than just a facility holding sub units.

Thank you! This information is beneficial. I was wondering what UAVs with only optical sensors are good for.
