Bravo!. I love the authentic map icons, for me it adds to the immersion as well as the historical accuracy.

I dont have the alpha March 2013 patch installed. But I read at Graviteam's forum the style of icons is choseable. When the final patch is out and installed it then I would choose the historical symbols as well.

What are the differences between the two? Can you show a sample?

Roughly between the U.S. and NATO symbols.

I'm not running the alpha patch myself. Running a campaign I want to finish first.
I'm a little worried the game is getting to complicated for new players.
We're getting more different colors flashing icons on the map. Might be getting confusing now.
Though I could be wrong as I have not tried the patch. I'm hoping for the best smile

Uuh no..I do not play games on tablet or phone.

But seriously..you need to find a good balance between gameplay fun and simulation. If the gameplay is not any fun anymore then players may walk away from it. My point is, do not make it too complex. Just my opinion.

Wicked, like everything with this game it's not as complicated as it first appears..all it's doing is howing you how the units are communicating within the platoon..

I watched a platoon with an IG slowly spot entrenched Russian troops..I then watched how the icons lit up as the info was passed around until the IG gun turned and spotted then fired..I never gave one order, luckily I had placed my HQ and the IG gun in a position where they had line of fire and LOS...also no other action was happening so I could really watch how it all worked.

I'm still unsure on command points but so far I have played and haven't really needed to know what was happening as it didn't get in the way of the game..but the Icons are just purely info feedback..

I had similar concerns to yourself, until I saw it in action in that particular scenario..I then realised it was just telling me what was happening..i.e the HQ is talking to the squad, or the gun crew is talking to each other..or they spotted something or heard something. Once one spots or sees something then the voice icons strat to light up as th einfo is passed around..then en eye icon lights as a unit spots the enemy unit that it was told about..

Thanks Wodin. I installed the alpha (a4) march patch myself today so I know better what I am talking about wink

I love the new Wehrmacht icons. Very nice. (though Wehrmacht in option menu when you choose the icons is spelled/typo wrong).

About the communication. Yea I see what you are talking about. The blue bar on top is new also. Kind of a timebar when you give orders I think. Not sure how to describe it myself.

I do have a question about a campaign with the a4 patch/updates. Not sure if things are final, they can change.
About the 11 Panzer campaign (Rakitnoe). Why is the 2nd SS Div now allied? I know I can set them up for player too but with the new a4-patch I get a penalty for that, not? Why is this?

And just a note. The Wehrmacht during WWII changed rapidly, units, organisation and equipment. So did also the Wehrmacht handbook with the icons. The game is using the WH icons of 1941-1942. Wich is just fine as we use a mix of light, medium and heavy armor. During 1943 till 1945 they changed a little again. Then I think you have one type of armor icon.

Anyways..dont have much time today but will check more tomorrow smile

It was always allied. It would be strange to give the player just two divisions on the operational phase wink.

Yes penalties in initial morale level for troops that transferred to user.

Ah I see. I probably had Player takes control of Allies enabled in pre-a4 march patch. All clear now.
