Icons versus little men

[Temsayah]

Huge fan of HOI, but don't spend a lot of time on the discussions here-

Question: Will HOI4 have icons, as in kinda, sorta like what real militaries use? You know, a small rectangle with 'x' crossed lines is an infantry division, oval is armor? I'm sure this has been answered, but it really adds an element of realism. HO3 had them, so...

Yes, you will be able use nato symbols.

Hey I was going to say that.

 

[ringhloth]

Yes and no. There is a mini-counter and a model. There's no option for counter-only.

Yeah Nato Symbols are in.
BUT you can't have the HoI 3 like counters. There will be always the 'tiny' soldiers used.

And no, this won't be changed. The developers were really clear about this.

Why is it that posters with very few posts seem to post the majority of flamebait?

Maybe because they don't spend that much time on the forum and therefore miss all these heated discussions?
Like they say, if you want to hide something, do it on page 2 of google.

Edit: Or it is a fake account. But probably not this one.
