"It would be good if to diversify the image of Towed Artillery, and also Barge Carrier, to make varios RPG / Inf.ATGM units."

Now that I agree with!

I think the various RPG/ATGM units are pretty hardcoded with the way infantry units appear. Barge carrier diversity appears in WinSPWWII, but its easier because of a smaller number of nations and units in general (though some variance might be nice and is possible).

I have some new artillery icons in my pack that were provided to me by Laurent Touchard (I think they might be Plasma's work actually heh).

There's been some unofficial fooling around involving icons for infantry weapons (ATGMs, MANPADS...) a number of years ago, so that could be started again if needed. Bear in mind that the icon for "Inf-AT", "Inf-SAM" and "Inf-RR"-class units is fixed, and these icons would be used for separate classes which consist of weapon + separate crew. That could be arty, mortars, area SAMs, RLRs, AT guns...
So RPGs themselves are out of question,except if you want to start over a new unit class.

I've done a couple of arty icons, namely a D-30 and a notional advanced 152/155mm long-tube howitzer. I know Laurent had been working on several other Vietnam-era weapons, and I may or may not give some more work on all of this.
