The colours of the german tanks have always bothered me a bit. Is there any plan to change them somewhat? Similar to what you did in pacific war

Give a more specific reason why they're wrong and what you'd prefer to be done, and I'll send your suggestion to the list.

The only things is wrong is the colour. The tanks appear to be a cyan colour. As far as I know the germans were not running around in cyan coloured tanks A change completely different camoflauge or atleast a reworking of the existing colours would be great. Make the tanks colours look more historicaly accurate.

For example this is kinda what I mean. More greens and browns. Just added old tanks for a reference. Didn't know what your policy on images was on web board so I did it this way.

Thanks for all the info on the icons. I look forward to looking at your icons tomorrow when I have more time. Nick Papp is/has been working on upgrading some of the graphics, but he is on vacation for a week, so don't know if he will be able to get back to this soon. He is planning on trying to tweak things, but has stated the 16 color pallette really limits things here. The same color used in the tank icons may be used in something else where a straight change will mess the other up. He is trying to change and tweak, but it will take time to do (he also has done a lot with the SPWAW graphics, I believe).

Please be patient on that and maybe he can improve it - it is a goal of his.

Don't worry I liked what you guys did with the planes in PacWar and was just wondering if you were going to try somthing similar with the tanks in WIR. BTW I did 3 tanks. The last one is kinda ugly but those pixils are big
