Again, a question for all you real military people passing by. For my project, I a trying to implement as much as possible my display as to fit the FM101-5-1 (ops graphics). It isn't going to be 100% as specified; I suspect the real life graphics aren't either.
In FM-101-5-1, there is a section decision graphics, which uses mini pie charts within a TF icon (effectiveness and material status). Is this type of convention really used. I'd like to provide quick info on an icon, but I won't do all the silly math if no one really uses this convention (I'll use status bar instead). Right now the user has to left click to bring up the most recent SITREP, which is a OK solution, although it dents playability.
