Better NATO icons

Description
Many people who use NATO icons are understandably upset about the state of these icons in vanilla. The most horrific is probably their icons for anti-air and anti-tank units - Anti-Air uses the icons that in reality are used by Anti-Tank, while Anti-Tank instead uses some completely fictional icons made up by the developers! There was 0 reason for this, and that's only one of the many issues with the icons you find in vanilla.

Well, your search is over! I have fixed it!

This mod not only replaces the icons in map view and division editor, but also properly changes the icons displayed in tooltips when hovering over the onmap division counters! I assure you I put a lot of effort in ensuring this mod is high quality.

I dare say this is the best NATO icons mod on the workshop. The main competitor, IR NATO icons, is rather weird as it sometimes uses flipped or misaligned icons, and using L/M/H symbols for tanks is a poor choice as you can't tell them apart on the tiny onmap icons! So I've made the choice to keep tank icons vanilla, and kept the fictional modifiers for "militia" or "support company" where necessary, to keep the icons as realistic as possible while maintaining their gameplay use (for example, you don't want cavalry to look the same as cavalry recon, because both can appear in tooltips when hovering over a division).

@Milt Willie Guzzler is an update necessary, or are you asking without even bothering to check if it still works on latest version? GFX-only mods don't need maintenance too often

@☭ Atomic ☭ Yes I have checked, fun fact I haven't disabled it since game release in 2016 :D

@SimonSchlachtmann Sorry for the late reply, but do you have NATO icons enabled in the settings?
