Armour Ratings

[Poor Old Spike]

This is the first in a series of charts I intend doing covering every nation through the war to provide an at-a-glance idea of each units armour thickness, I've simply cut and pasted the in-game data icons with a bit of magnification thrown in.
Note - it's normal to sometimes see a type appear more than once in the charts (eg PzIIIJ) with a different gun or different armour each time, it simply means one was an earlier or later sub-type.
Also, sometimes all the tanks of a family (eg Panther) have the same gun and roughly the same armour (ie no colour difference) so I just use one icon to represent them all.
And to avoid clutter I've left out halftracks and most armoured cars.
The years are just approximate, as types often overlapped into other years.

EARLY RUSSIAN

(Note - although I've classified the units into early/mid/late-war periods for convenience, in real-life units were often used in more than one period)
Also, don't forget some members of a family may have a different gun to the rest,eg one of the T-34/76's and two of the KV-1's had a weaker L31 gun, so always check.

BRITISH early war

Although I've divided them into groups of early/ mid/ late war periods for convenience, historically many types were used in more than one period.

Are ya gonna do the infantry in that style?

Hey that's a good idea mate, there are some interesting uniforms and firepower details in CM, i'll put it on my list of stuff to do..:)

[kawaiku]

How big is your list exactly?

[Poor Old Spike]

Big enough mate -

Covered arcs testing
Wheat hulldown tests
LOS over roofs and trees at lower level
Road pivot rates
Infantry on bridge scatter from tanks tests
Hide tests
Fair/good/excellent etc kill ratings
Rifle-grenades v armour
Do buildings collapse if area-firing tanks cancentrate on one spot tests
All Sherman models analysis
Infantry uniform pics and small-arms firepower ratings
etc

Dayum...well it appears that you have enough time on your hands to do it lol.
