Hope it has caused no serious deaths.

Nah, Longbow, Longhorn, who cares...
Personally I'm a fan of unit #654, i.e. the motor rifle section with 85 Javelins, including 80 with HE warhead.

Typos happen.

I'll PM you some more constructive comments on the Canadian OOB.

Indeed, there are some highly altered files in this mod, but we were warned.

Here are some suggestions & my error report (I didn't check all oob's).

Thanks for the detailed error report. I knew there were some loose icons in Obat02 (Poland). The relevant ones can be corrected as follow:

***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #224 "152mm 2A61 FH" should get icon #3051 instead of current #3039.
***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #725 "MB 290 GD" should get icon #3753 instead of current #3690.
***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #987 "Tatrapan" should get icon #4093 instead of current #3670.
***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #988 "Tatrapan" should get icon #3322 instead of current #3119.
***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***

The HMMWV Trynka is not used in the Cold War Mod OOB, and has been changed to nation=0, which you would have noticed if you had bothered playing the OOB, you modder

Regarding distorted icons in MOBhack, as far as I have seen for now, they cause no problem in he game. I don't know what causes this bug in the first place.

All the errors will be corrected in the next issue.

I have a general modding question. Do the modified SHP files in your mod overwrite any graphics or are you just adding more vehicles. I understand the E German flag overwrites the one from Ukraine, but is there anything else?

There are three flag overwrites for the game menu interface (Battle.shp), the victory hexes (icon0095.shp) and the unit ID tags (icon0095.shp).
Apart from that, I overwrote a few official unit icons in R.C.0.6. Shortly, these are a few of the duplicated WZ501/BMP-1 icons in icon0099.shp and some BRDM-2s to continue the new SA-9 icons that was officially included in V4.0. All this is detailed in the icon list file I posted.

My PM is incoming.

Well any proposals for icon (I mean those SPW's which I mentioned earlier)? Could I fix them with Mobhack (I mean, I need to know suitable icon numbers)?

As I said last time, I have no idea where your problem comes from because the units you mention use official WinSPMBT3.0 icons and not modded ones.
That's assuming you are still talking about "SPW-360/57 and SPW-360K". In this case the units involved would be #832, 833, 845, 846, 858 and 859 of OOB 079. Could you please confirm these unit numbers, so we both know what we are talking about?

If we are talking about the same thing indeed, then these units should use icons 3542 to 3544 and 3549 to 3551.
In case these icon numbers still don't show anything in MOBhack, please check in the official OOB 002 (Poland) in folder "OOBs\Default OOBs", units #207, #208, #672, #673, #680, #681 and #835, which use exactly the same icons. This is what I asked you last time and as long as I don't know the result of this check I can't tell you where the problem comes from.

If none of these units show any icon in MOBhack and in the game, then you should probably add into your Game Data\Graphics folder a new copy of file icon0102.shp extracted from a WinSPMBT v3.0 patch install.

Hope this solves your problem this time.

Yes, I mean those 2 models. Check Ukraine/DDR oob and SPW rifle company (and other units which have any of those SPW's)... And I repeat that I have your mod (latest version) and latest WinSPMBT version 4.0 installed.

Or is this meant only for version 3.0??? If so, any sense to use that?

Look, I have just tested a fresh install on my side and all these units work perfectly well in the encyclopedia and buy screens, under all climates.

I have given you a way forward to check where the problem was coming from on your side, now what are the results? Do you see the Rosomak units in the official Poland OOB? Does the \Game Data\Graphics\ folder of your WinSPMBT install contain a file named icon0102.shp?
You and I need this information to pinpoint the origin of this problem, so please stop beating around the bush and please try to apply the solutions I have given you in post #21.
If it appears you have a hole in your game install, then I gave you all you need to solve that particular problem, and otherwise, I would appreciate knowing where the problem can come from.

Over to you.
