Tempestzzzz Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Subject says it all and GOOGLE wasn't my friend. I can't seem to find it for WWII. The German one is an upside down 'j' with the curve to the right. Allied unit icon-no luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak40 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 But seriously, I think they typically fall under engineers, so using those symbols would be appropriate. I did find this one that has a flame tank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 The German one is a Y the US one I could not find so I used the modern upside down J. One reference I found for the Germans is here: http://www.niehorster.org/011_germany/symbols/_symbols_43.html Here is the key for my icon mod (http://cmmodsiii.greenasjade.net/?p=3263) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestzzzz Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 NATO unclassified also has the upside down "J" pg 57 of 118. http://www.military.com/ResourcesSubmittedFiles/Military_Symbols_Guide.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bil Hardenberger Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I used the upside down J for my set as well... so we have a consensus I think Edited April 8, 2016 by Bil Hardenberger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestzzzz Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Yeah I saw enough icons on the net to agree with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 One thing I noticed is for that period very few if the icon systems spent a lot of time on identifying single assets. The Germans pretty much never did - they had an icon for a platoon and a modified version to represent an entire company with adornments for above that. The Russians focused more on formations - with connecting lines to show convoys, defensive postures or attack formations. The Western Allies did seem to draw individual tanks occasionally but even they spent more time focusing on formations. All of which to say my impression is that there is no flame thrower icon because it would have been part of a platoon of engineers and they just did not single it out on maps. That is a bit of a "connect the dots" speculation on my part so I could be very wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestzzzz Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'd have to agree. I even looked under the USMC. And could find anything. The Germans really had it very detailed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I like the German icon for a Band. Not much call for it in CM sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motorised butchery company is good too - a lorry symbol with a large axe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
