Vehicle identification is a useful skill for anyone on the battlefield, and a requirement for many of the more specialised roles. While some vehicles pose only a minimal threat, some can halt an entire platoon by themselves. As such accurate indentification is crucial to good situational awerness, planning and tasking. Identifying a vehicle can be done at three levels of depth: Vehicle class Subclass witihin vehicle class Specific vehicle model Not all vehicles within a class fall under a subclass. In the criteria for classification, the following terms are to be understood: Autocannon: an automatic gun with a caliber between 20-60 mm Cannon: a gun bigger than an autocannon Direct fire: firing a weapon within the line-of-sight of the user of the weapon in a (relatively) flat trajectory Indirect fire: firing a weapon outside the line-of-sight of the user of the weapon
