Some design ideas:

I'm changing the roundel on the Union of Britain aircraft, Commune of France and others:

I'm using historical images for ahistorical aircraft models, like Albatros Ad.LXXXVII-G Stuka (quite obvious that it's ok in this case, but there are others less so):

Austria uses many German icons:

Hope this will be ok for most of you.
 
You are my new hero!

Please, please make a set for the Indian nations :)
 
You really did a good job. I hope someone modified the great SKIF's icons to fit them to DH. Thanks!
 
Good things take time, so does this. Once I have finished all majors and semi-majors, I will release a set. Then I'll do some minors and puppets.

Some teasers:

Yes, funny that you should bump this thread now, since I just started working on some icons again.

I've always thought that the Kaiserreich icon packs lying around out there are not really working perfectly for DH. So my main focus for the next few months will probably be to adapt my pack to KR, but there are a LOT of nations in that mod, which means that nothing is even close to release yet.

Just a heads up, SKIF style icons already exist for KR. Take a look at the link on the first page of the KR thread

I'm aware of this, but that set was made for HoI II KR and doesn't fit very well to this version of Kaiserreich. Some parts of it will be used in my set though, which is ok for the KR team.
 
I hope the kaiserreich set is coming along well. If they're anywhere near the quality of your DH ones (which i'm sure they are) its going to be a good day when you release them

It is. I don't have much time off so I try to do a bunch of icons each evening. The quality is probably better than the vanilla ones, I would dare say. Previews:

You have received my attention, good sir. I shall be watching, as an avid KR fan.

In addendum, I will be interested to see how you handle the ahistorical aircraft carriers, especially with Germany, which historically only had the Graf Zeppelin.

Just a suggestion: when you get into the later years, perhaps you can base models off of close approximations from that time period? For example, for Germany, cold war era models could look similar to what our universe's West Germany had. At the very least, I'd like something done about their aircraft, as they're utilizing the outlandish late-war designs the Third Reich was putting out that are both ugly and impractical.

As for the aircraft carriers, I obviously don't have so much material to work with. In most cases it will be the generic model with a German naval jack, at least in the first stage. It would be very time-consuming to make ahistorical models for all nations in Kaiserreich, so firstly I will focus on coverage, secondly on unique model images. The same goes for the aircraft, if I can use an existing SKIF icon I'll do that to save time.

West Germany mostly used american aircraft in the cold war, to use these would look a bit weird. But I'll see what I can do, I agree that some of the most experimental German aircraft could be omitted. At least in future releases.
