In the new Nuclear Escalation mode, among other things, it is now possible to change the style of the marker icons — both in the game world and on the tactical map — from the standard War Thunder icons to the historical ones used by NATO and Soviet militaries.
We’re considering adding the option to choose historical marker icons to all game modes and would like to ask you a few questions about this. The survey should take no more than 2 minutes.
This is how they look in Nuclear Escalation: NATO; USSR.
This is how they could look in Air Battles: NATO; USSR.
This is how they could look in Ground Battles: NATO; USSR.
Thanks for all the votes and additional feedback!

I support them as long as they are toggleable.

I did the survey, yes, but I’d like to put this out there as kinda like a rule of thumb to the devs if they read this along woth the survey data.
I personally do not use the historical markers. I selected my reasoning in survey.
However I think they’re a good addition to the game because they are selectable, not required, and there are people who do enjoy them. Just because me and possibly a majority of people wouldn’t use them, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be in the game.
The way they are implemented as far as whether they’re used or not is fine. Please keep these things in the game but to be selected on or off like they currently are.

I mean as long as i can turn them on and off i am kinda fine with it but i have a question
Why? or How?
Shouldn’t TAM2C has different marker icon?

I always used them when they were available, it’s a great change for maps with enduring confrontation, like in Simulator battles or the new Nuclear Thunder.
+1!

Very much needed and appreciated.
one thing I wish these will have is saved presets per country. so if I play as the soviets and I select the USSR markers and then go play america and have the Nato markers there, I dont have to keep swapping back and forth every time like the nuclear thunder tests.

I think it is a great idea, but most of us grew up with the standerd WT Icon, and for me personally, it was quite difficult and messy, but as long it is toggleable, +1

It would be nice if we could mod the markers
I feel like IFVs such as the Bradley, Marder, and PUMA should count as mechanized infantry just without the infantry.
Along with all wheeled light tanks having this logo to mark wheeled light armor.
Either way the larp is welcomed.
Don’t need.
SL crates when?
cool story, when sl crate ?

I wasn’t really aware of them, but if they can be toggled, and they aren’t a big issue to implement (it looks like a comparatively easy one-and-done task), then why not. I might turn them on, just to learn them in general and to have a bit more realistic map display… maybe there could be a compromise or third selection option: Old ones for the markers in the environment (there the old ones are better due to better visibility), realistic ones for the map displays (makes the map look more realistic, and the symbols there add more information and better to read).
Also screw SL loot boxes.
They are not for screwing, they are for opening.
As long as they are a toggle and i could keep using current ones, sure
