Change USMC flag to USA flag - Page 2

I believe the flag in image 1 is found in the battle.shp, in the graphics folder.

The flags in images 2 and 3 both use the icons in Icon0095.shp, also in the graphics folder. Changing the flags in Icon0095 will also change the Objective/V-Hex flags.

Many thanks, Cross.

All I'll say is ...

HERESY

I whole heartily agree with Suhiir!! There's a reason we have our own service flags (Dept. of the ...). We fly here our flag above the rest then the UK, USN, USMC, and the commands own flag. These flags matter. From a game point of view if you're playing the USA or USMC then decide to use the other as an allie it would be nice to know whos who in a battle as some of the units would have different capabilities that might affect your strategy to meet your objectives. Remember even current manning in the USMC is bigger then a lot of other countries own armies or even total defense forces for some. This sounds more like "If it ain't broke don't fix it!" What's worse is that a Sailor is sticking up for a Marine!?! Obviously I need a drink of...water or something!?!

Regards,
Pat

If he was changing the USMC flag to the NATO or UN flag, Suhiir would have a point.

You are kidding right?

No offense intended to anybody or military entity.

No offense taken.
But, it is heresy...

There's a reason the United States rates two OOBs.
The US Army/US Air Force is a totally different entity then the USMC/US Navy.

The US Army (and it's OOB) are generally armor heavy with limited air support. The US Army is designed/intended for sustained combat operations.

The USMC (and to an extent it's OOB) is infantry heavy with much greater helo/air support (USMC/USN air work very closely together, in fact US carriers often have a USMC squadron aboard).
The USMC is designed/intended for fast/first reaction to seize/establish a forward base to allow the much bulkier/slower to react to "now" requirements US Army to get it's gear and people in place. The USMC is designed for limited duration (90 day or less) high intensity operations.

Does this mean the US Army can't react first or the USMC can't do sustained operations?
Of course not.
But, they are two separate animals. And each uses some equipment unique to it that the other doesn't even have (or in very limited quantities).

At no point - that I'm aware of - has anyone said that the USMC should not have their own OOB.

He merely wanted to change the flag to the United States flag, for his own personal use.
