NOT a "glitch" more of a "quirk"

If you look at them in the Encyclopaedia / UNit data without first setting up a date and month between two sides and actually start a battle it will always default to the desert set. Once you are in a battle that would normally be in jungle for example then they will show up in their summer colours ( the same in winter..... if the two sides generate winter battles and you have a game in play then go to check something in the UnitData screen they will show up in winter white IF they have winter white Icons ) but just loading the encyclopedia and cruising through it without setting a battle first it will always default to the desert set and in the case of the Japanese tanks, that is usually desert pink or desert tan.

They will default to their summer set in the main encyclopedia screen but the unit data defaults to the desert set when no battle is in progress and it is the same for all nations not just the Japanese so if you are in the midst of a battle and click on an enemy or friendly tank no matter what season it is you will see the same paint job in the Unit data screen as you do on the map.

One final point.......the joined Icon in the unit data screen is merely a "decoration" and it will only select the exact unit Icon for that unit during that time period and season so if a sceanrio designer changes an Icon in the game the unit data screen ONLY gives you what is in the base encyclopaedia....for the same reason that has occasionally confused player in the past where the scenario shows one set of data but the unit data screen shows you the exact information that unit has and if it's a winter battle but a sceanrio designer has changed all tanks to green the unit data only shows what the OOB was set up to show. One of the new scenarios has " ersatz M10's"...... they are pathers made to look like M10s and the scenario designer has used the Panther as the base unit ( which is what that vehicle was ) but changed the Icon in the scenario to an M10.......well the unit data screen only shows what is in the OOB NOT what it's been "adjusted to"
