Sneyl Republic
I always found it odd that Germany has icons to separate the Third Reich from it’s successor states, but not the Soviet Union from it’s defacto successor state, the Russian Federation.
To that end, why not use the hammer and sickle for Soviet vehicles and the five pointed star for Russian ones?
There is this new symbol which was mentioned further up, but frankly, it is hideous. Like a logo for a railway company.

these star used in many countries, like US, USSR and CN or many non-in game or minor countries so i thought to give russian a “unique” star instead of a common star

This is just a tip, here the logo of the Norwegian Armored Battalion (Panserbataljonen it’s quite easy (not that many details), and we have it in the game as a decal, only the figure/head without the shield
Here you go, a revised Czechslovakia. Someone else pointed out on Reddit that North Vietnam technically has two vehicles as well so I did that, but then I decided to do South Vietnam and so on and fell into a rabbit hole. So here’s a bunch more symbols even though not all of them qualify in the way I mentioned in the OP.
North Korea’s star is inverted from the USA and the circle is ‘broken’ to keep it distictive. South Korea is self-explanitory, North Vietnam is based on the crest of the N.Vietnam Army, South Vietnam is based on the three lines in their flag, and finally this is a simplified version of the Czech low-visibility roundel.

It’s so hard to design a icon for them……
I thought the DPRK one is similar to what on WW2 US vehicles but failed to think a alternative icon
For north Vietnam i think the gear could be upper and above the star, as a square 1:1 icon will performance well with Chinese, Japanese and Korean words (the rectangle Hungary icon looks pretty bad on my Chinese client)
the Czech icon looks pretty well, anyway
Edit: Well… if considering using the roundel of air force, i suggest change the icon of PRC to the center part of their roundel
It’s a simplification of the the Vietnam People’s Army emblem, minus the wheat wreath since Tartanclad quite reasonably pointed out that would be unrecognizable if scaled down a font insignia.
The gear being underneath the star is core to the design. I suggested this emblem to Tartanclad because every other North Vietnamese symbol I’m aware of is either too complex (the national emblem) or would be unrecognizably generic in monochrome.

Hello. I think this change will not bring much improvement in addition to sacrificing history. Already that many of us are too little cultivated; so … When a simple letter from A to Z ??
I’m afraid you’ll have to clarify your post a little more.
Just hopping in to include the two new nations that have been confirmed for the next update. (I know it’s a benelux update but I couldnt see a Luxembourg vehicle).
Belgium gets a lion, like Finland, but the colours are reversed with the blue shield and a transparent lion behind it. This is because Belgium has only ever used a french-style roundel.
Netherlands was pretty easy. Their insignia is reasonably unique. I DID try doing a czech low-viz style for the post 1945 variant but it didn’t look very good. I think this version doesn’t need to be less simple than this, since its not concentric circles.

I really like this idea. I’m not sure if I like all of these specific roundels and it is also missing a Czech roundel, but I overall really like the idea and I want to see this. I was actually about to go make a suggestion for this myself when I saw this. I really hope to see this, especially since the Netherlands have now gotten 2 roundels with the new update, one of which only applies to the Fokker G.IA.
I respect that you might not like all the roundels I have and that’s fair enough. I mainly want countries to just have unique ones - I don’t mind too much what they are.
I do have a czech design though. If you go to my post on the 14th April, I added some extra ones from both Koreas, both Vietnams and Czechslovakia, but I couldn’t figure out how to add them to the original post.

You can add them to the original with the little pencil icon at the bottom next to the reply button.
From what I can tell, I can’t edit posts that had a picture on them. The pencil only seems to show up on exclusively text posts. I’m sure I’m missing something.
+1 - Don’t forget Thailand :D

I like this idea, but personally I would see if you could get the Wartime Japan Rising Sun one to be more circular, like a regular roundel (sorta like how you did Argentina), since that’s how it looked on the flag - it wasn’t cut in half. Just a minor gripe I have with how it is depicted in the game currently.
I also agree with this suggestion, the fleur-de-lis is cool to see, and kind of iconic I think.
I tought about something like that in the past and im glad someone did suggest this
+1, this idea is great, I do like more ways to tell what nation a vehicle belongs to for “C&P” and other vehicles that use them.
Also, the image in the message broke.
+1, maybe for air the US roundel could have the bar
