Hey great mod!!


Here's a few icons you may be interested in...

These first two are not mine, and I honestly forgot where I found them (and apologize in advance to the creator for not being able to credit him). They are the X-45 & X-47 UACVs:

The next two are remote "pedestal turrets" for the M1 Abrams. The pedestal turret idea appears in the excellent book Air-Mech-Strike: Asymmetric Maneuver Warfare for the 21st Century. A three man crew rides in the hull. The pedestal turret has an auto loading gun (120mm or 140mm), had limited barrel overhang due to the rearward position of the turret and has two side "hard points" for mission based weapon pods that could carry stingers, 2.75" hydra rockets or GAU-19/A .50 cal gun pods for example. The gun has much greater elevation capability (89 deg) than a normal M1 allowing for matter engagement capability in urban areas and the ability to fire indirect - especially with gun launched smart munitions. The hull is equipped with two remote weapon systems on either side of the hill (M240s) for local defense. The turret is also much lighter, allowing for greater mobility, less fuel consumption, and the ability of two M1s to be carried on a C-5/C-17 instead of one.
