v2.01

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. Vehicle identification covers only military vehicles. Any other vehicle should be referred to by it's common ~~name (e.g. pickup truck, bicycle, jetski). 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~~
