I'm talking about the icons on the strat map and in the force pool.  It's like they took a step back.  I think it started with modern tactics.

Most mods for CC5 have creative and cool icons.  For example PZjager stalingrad mods and many others have cool icons where you see a german tank or soldier representing a battlegroup.  It's so much more immersing and adds 'soul' to the game.

Totally agree.

I liked the GJS ones better.

I am sure the NATO style icons were a way to cut corners quickly. The rereleases were pumped in in quick succession.

Yea im in favor of a colorful cartoon or historical photograph. Instead of the counters.

I assume Mod makers don't have to worry about any copyright laws when it comes to actual photos.
The CCIV and CCV Icons had to require time and effort.Both of which cost money.

Anyone can create the Icons they've currently been doing,very cheap and very easy to do.

Ok I understand the copyright laws on photos, but having some artwork done isn't that expensive compared to other development costs like programming.

Anything but those ugly, cartoonish caricatures that were hand-drawn and splattered all over the original CC4 and CC5 BG screens!
