SPWWII obats in SPMBT?

I have the free version right now, so this is all hypothetical, but I wouldn't mind planning in advance for other modding.

No you cant - these are spare OOBs to put work into when cutting and pasting.

OOBs are hard-coded as to experience, morale, flags (and dates when these change, battle locations vs this and that opponent, which space they use on the nations selector listing etc etc. The icons for WW2 are totally different graphics files from MBT as well. Note the lack of any such editable data available in the Mobhack editor - should be a hint.

What you can find is various WW2 icons squirrelled away in odd places in post-war user OOBS. (E.g. France for Panthers, CZ for sdkfz250, the 800 series in Red, Japanese kit in Thailand and Chinese OOBs etc). See my "ZOMG Nazis!" fun scenario for use of some of these.
