Default Re: Question about the size in winSP

The Kraka ATV is size one but it's rare ( and small )..the Iveco LMV will show in the v11.01 OOB's as size one but that's an error that has now been corrected for all nations using it.

There is no formula for determining what might be size 4 and what might be size 6 .... it's all done based on how a new vehicle compares to existing similar vehicles.

Our camrade found such information about size units.
On this forum:Steel Panthers: World at War

Quote:
I understand that it is height that determines the size of a Unit.
Here's a chart that they originally used for Version 6 I believe, I'm not sure how accurate this is now.
Size 1 = Height <1.8m
Size 2 = Height <2.4m
Size 3 = 2.41-2.70m
Size 4 = 2.71-2.99m
Size 5 = 3.0-3.29m
Size 6 = >3.3m
You may find some vehicles that certainly do not fit in this guideline.
These data are not comparable with the WinSP ?

Its more than height its surface area.
Modern Russian MBT like T-90 are smaller than Western conterparts, Height, width & length hence a smaller target.
By comparison a jeep type vehicle is a small vehicle in all respects.
Amphibious landing vehicles like US marine LVT are large slab sided targets.
To determine size you need to take the profile into account, mix of silhouette for front & side as the game does not change size for the facing.
