Ukraine 2022 ICONs

Good morning, it would be interesting to further develop the database of both weapon type silhouettes and also by modifying specialty icons, for example eliminating battleship BB and introducing missile-launching frigates FFG, missile-launching submarines SSGN and also missile-launching corvettes. creating the missing NATO standard icons for example for UAVs, drones, maritime drones as well as the different types of mechanized infantry, on wheels etc.
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

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’m starting a new topic to capture this subject.

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.

Good morning considering that I tried to use Paint.net, I must honestly say that I am really not very inclined to obtain appreciable results due to a manifest inability to work with these tools.
I would therefore ask anyone who has the desire, time and ability to update the Equipment256 database and the Nato standard icon database with the new UAV, FPV, Drones and Marine Drones, Loitering munition (Zala Lancet) systems to make distinctions for AA, SAM and ASM anti-ship missile icons in the scenario for the Ukrainian Harpoon and Neptune and Russian Bastion mobile ASM missile launchers I had to use air naval attack icons because otherwise any other artillery, rocket or missile icon would not attack ships at sea within the expected ranges.
Also for Drones, FPV, Loitering Munition I used airmobile artillery icons and I must say that it works well.
For medium to large sized UAVs I used a single-engine fighter icon, also in this case it works well.
A special thanks to Rhinobones for his availability and interest.
Kind regards

Post Scriptum
I was forgetting that for updated naval units it would be enough to insert FFG (Frigate) instead of BB and USV (maritime drones) instead of CV and insert PC (Patrol Corvette) instead of DD see attached photo.
Thanks again, regards.

Does this sample meet your needs? The medium and small filles still need to be changed.

Rhinobones thank you so much, perfect!
I think that by implementing these icons there will be no other changes, as for Equipment256 I think that the silhouettes of the various weapon systems are fine as they are.
Thanks again for everything.
Kind regards

The previous post only had changes for the large icons, this folder contains all three unit icon files. Large, medium and small. use in good health.

Best Regards, RhinoBones
