However, if we could give an ability to the open-top halftracks to do precisely that, this might fix things. I haven't tried. Unfortunately this requires too much testing, and I don't think we can include this just yet

It is possible to add a permanently-on prioritise-vehicles thing for models that carry AT weapons. However that thing stops working the moment stuff garrisons buildings.

Well yea, this is a bummer, since the open halftrack tend to have problems surviving close encounters with anything on wheels/tracks that isnt a scout car, and it ruins the whole aspect of drive-by-shreck-salvo-and-retreat thing.
Too bad. Maybe some day.

Have made new variant of shield symbol for HM-38, based on actual one from call-in button. Now we have two variants for this unit :

It should be a 36x36 PNG, I think. Looking good! Did you make it by hand?
Also, there's already a symbol called "Icons_symbols_unit_german_m1938_120mm_mortar_symbol". It's probably meant for the PM-38 and just wrongly named. But I don't know if the shells actually look like that, so yours might be more accurate!
Edit: About the MG 42 uprgade for Grenadiers - the proper icon is actually included in the game files, just not used. It's called "Icons_upgrades_icon_upgrade_german_mg42_lmg" and looks like this:

It based on shield symbol from this picture (i tried to remove this fire around shell):
and for comparison .
Can you please post here this "Icons_symbols_unit_german_m1938_120mm_mortar_symbol" emblem?

Thank you! I will put it in the first post, but for me variant from vCoH looks much better

Agreed! It's more detailed and has a more realistic shadow. It also fits the Grenadiers' MG 42 better, because that one also uses a drum magazine, not a belt.
Here is the heavy mortar symbol:
I also quickly added it to the unit icon:

Added to the first post, i think it's going to be the final variant.

I think the three icons of the mortars shield (USF/WEHR/SOV) are the same. The only one different is:
Icons_symbols_unit_german_m1938_120mm_mortar_symbol.png
so can change the shield icon to 120mm SOV. And I think it's unused. What is it that we are talking about.

I think it will be good to keep them here for future, cause they can be used to solving design issues and used for introduction of new stuff.

I use COH2 UI Asset Browser made by Janne252 to extract the images. There are over 6600 images in the game, so I can't select the unused very easily... sorry

File coh2ui_ibe
Universal icon for stealth for all factions, which can be used as icon for unclickable button in bottom-right ability slot and small icon on unit's portrait like here:
File coh2ui_i54
Right icon for GrW 34 barrage ability. Currently using icon from PM-41.
File coh2ui_i2447
Possibly icon for Railway Artillery.
File coh2ui_i2c89
Right Sprint icon for Conscript. Actual one looks like buffing ability for them.
File coh2ui_ia
Icon for Panzer Grenadiers.
File coh2ui_i2447
Colorful icon for PTRS-41 package.
And some icons for WBP Penals:
AT Satchel (File coh2ui_i2c89)(but need to remove american star):
PPSh-41 and ROKS-3 Package (File coh2ui_ibe):
UPDATE:
Found right icon for PM-38 120mm Mortars Smoke Barrge (file coh2ui_ibe):
Soviet Incendiary Artillery Barrage ((file coh2ui_i2447):

At least make them silver
You mean like this?
Do you think this is better?

Yes it is better, at least for me. BTW I thought about gold bunker on silver shield, but this is also good. Or about bronze bunker on silver shield.
How long does it take to change color of those pictures ?

4th one is cool but it may be hard to see the satchel there it you don't know it is there.
3rd one makes it much more obvious.

To change the colors takes a few minutes, but I'd like to keep the shields gold like the vanilla icons.
I made several variants, which one do you prefer?

Thanks!

I agree. Thought about making the satchel larger, but that would have looked too unrealistic imo. I'll see if I can do something about it!
