Gibsonm Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) Well if you mean NATO depictions of “enemy” (just that the Soviets were the “default“) then any of the existing ones will do - there’s one on the Documents folder installed with the game IIRC.If not let me know or search for a STANAG Mil Symbol document (something like this http://www.military.com/ResourcesSubmittedFiles/Military_Symbols_Guide.pdf)E.g. An “enemy” Tk platoon (Soviet, Iraqi, North Vietnamese, ...) is the red diamond with an oval in the centre and three dots on the top.The symbol in the centre is common, its the diamond instead of the rectangle and the colouring which tells you its “enemy” / Soviet.If you want the map symbol that the Soviets used to depict their own units - I’m afraid I can’t help.

MDF Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Also, just do a google images search for "Soviet tactical icons" or "Soviet military icons." That produces lots of relevant stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
