And what do I do to import then? Oh, and how do turrets work? I'm using Paint.net for the BMP files-- is that what I should use?
LBM is an old and obsolete file format that very few programs read.

As for what to use to work on Icons, I highly suggest you buy Paint Shop Pro 9 -- you can get a copy for $20 bucks off ebay:

I have a copy myself (been using it since it was 4.12 or 7.12 and upgraded to 9 a few years ago); and it's what SPCAMO uses to make their icons with.

Thirdly, how do I change the flag of a nation?
National flag(s) are in several SHP files -- for MBT they are:

Icon0016.shp
Icon0061.shp
BATBUT.SHP
BATTLE.SHP

Attached is a complete set of flag graphics for both Mexico and Venezuela to give you an idea of what to create.
