WWGeezer Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Thought mission builders might appreciate a resource to identify the vehicles and artillery in the game. The names in the mission builder don't identify country or weapon size (unless you recognize the historical name) so thought this guide might be helpful. Not perfect, but what I could gleen from Wikipedia. I was careful with the plan views to keep the scale the same, so could be useful for target i.d. as well Enjoy!

Zettman Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 S! Nice job. One small correction, it is a Panzer III not a Panzer II. Zettman
WWGeezer Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Sorry, put in the wrong thread....I think I mislabelled the Searchlights too. Will see if anyone finds anything else and correct. The list is in excel, may post that too if people want to add there own notes
Cybermat47 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Excellent list! Just to let you know, the StuG 40/43 is actually a StuG III Ausf. F, and the StuG 37/24 is actually a StuG III Ausf. A. Also, the Panzer III is specifically a Panzer III Ausf. J.
WWGeezer Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 yup yup....will make corrections and update next weekend.
csThor Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 A minor correction or two It's a Panzer III Ausf. L. And the StuG with the long barrel is more commonly known as StuG III Ausf. F/8. The one with the short looks like an Ausf. E.
Brano Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 By viewing what objects are available in mission editor it became clear to me that we will need much more of them to be added.It is kind of backbone group of objects,but we will for sure need rest of the body What I could not figure out is where soldiers are stored in FMB.Looks like there are no static soldiers models available.I hope we will see more of them coming in BoM or some future update for BoS. 1
-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) I took the liberty of dropping it down into a PDF file ...

Sokol1 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 A minor correction or two It's a Panzer III Ausf. L. And the StuG with the long barrel is more commonly known as StuG III Ausf. F/8. The one with the short looks like an Ausf. E. The names can't be correct, but for the purpose of guide to Editor is OK, since the name in Editor is the same of pictures. At least someone will dont search for "StuG II Ausf. G/8" in Editor to put in missions and dont find. (is Stug37|24 and 40|43) Or put the correct name and the Editor name in pictures. Searchlight names in Editor: Searchlihtger Landinglightger Searchlihtsu Landinglightsu
WWGeezer Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Sokol1 makes a good point. The best would be two columns on the spec sheet, one for the name that is in the Mission Editor so it is easy to find and than one for the historically correct name.
TP_Jacko Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks, I was thinking the exact same thing the other day but your way is very good Cheers
FlyingNutcase Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 A nice example of personal initiative and community feedback.
TheElf Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I actually asked the devs if they intended to add more ground objects and types (like SP guns, armored cars, and horse drawn carriages) so much of the Russian forces were horse drawn...they haven't answered yet... so many vehicles missing.
FlyingH Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 The german army was indeed very much depending on horses too, contrary to common belief, the were using some 600 000 horses (i´ve read in some historical overview) the first year of the Barbarossa campaign! So we´d need german hosrse too!
LoupVert Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Hi there, great work Geezer, that's handy! a minor issue seems to have slipped through the net though, as the "flak37" looks to be the "8.8 cm Flak 37" actually, not the "3.7 cm Flak 37". 3.7 cm Flak 37 Cheers.
PB0_Foxy Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 a good addition to your file is to add the ranges of artilleries guns, rocket launchers etc ...
LoupVert Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Have you got them Foxy? Can't use unGTP since last patch here.
PB0_Foxy Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah I think I've got some of them ! I had to determine them myself with historical data and some tries in the FMB when I was beta testing the mission editor. It is very useful because if you put units behind their operational ranges they will not fire at all and sometimes you will think your mission is broken whereas it's not Let's take an example (if my memory is good) The Nebelwerfer (half track with rocket launchers on his sides) have only a 2.2 km range where BM-13 Katyusha have a range of something like 7 to 8 km
LoupVert Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Here's what I extracted a couple version ago: (AttackDistance) MG 34 AA: 2 000 2-cm-Flak 38: 2 000 8,8-cm-FlaK 37: 12 500 37-мм 61-К: 3 000 87-мм 52-К: 11 000
LoupVert Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Attack distance in meters, extracted from an older version so may not be accurate. 1
Vandal Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 I know this is an old thread, but I made a PDF from the OP's images. It's attached if anyone wants it. IL-2 BOS Vehicle Specs.pdf
