The game uses 4 different icon sizes for units. Namely 160x120, 96x72, 32x24 and 24x18. Modders can create a 4th targa file at the correct size and the game won't have to scale the image down. This obviously means the files have to be correctly set up within uniticon.txt.
Lastly, I would recommend that modmakers use standard labelling for picture files and in the uniticon.txt fils (or anywhere else relevant). Even a single mistake in this area can crash the game and takes a lot of patience to track down. (Mea Culpa: I also deviated from the standard when I updated ASIER's files, I was still used to the old CTP1 style).
Attached a set of screenshots I made for my tests. Whether this is really usesful is another question (I'd expect use of correct icons to speed up teh game a bit, but it also increases file sizes).
