Hi. Does anyone of you know where can I access unit information?
I noticed in MP you get some basic description ('i' icon in unit picture) but in skirmish I wasn't able to find it - i played MP once so far but i definitely didn't have any time to look at specs heh.
Also, where can i find weapon/armor tables? Would be nice if developers would make it easier to access.

Thanks for any replies.

There are no "tables" as i know of... Every patch makes some changes to a specific number of vehicles and weapons.

If you are up for a task, you can find all the information in the game files :)

It will take a long time, but its possible. You will need to access the game files, packed in \men of war assault squad\resource\ folder in .pak files. You do not need to extract them, it should be possible to open and view the files in .pak, as if they were in a normal folder using a file managing program like Total Commander.

-------------------------------------------------
Handhold weapons:
\men of war assault squad\resource\gamelogic.pak --> \set\stuff\

-------------------------------------------------
Guns ( cannons, AA, mortars, etc. ):
\men of war assault squad\resource\gamelogic.pak --> \set\stuff\gun\

-------------------------------------------------
Vehicle properties ( armor, speed, turning rate, etc. ):
\men of war assault squad\resource\entity\e2.pak --> \-vehicle\

Files with .def extension contain all the vehicle properties.



Example:

You want to know what kind of weapons does a T26 Light Tank use. You will need to go here:
\men of war assault squad\resource\entity\e2.pak\-vehicle\tank_light\t26\t26.def

Find this line:

{Weaponry
("restore_ik_time")
{place "gun"
{RestoreIKAfterAim}
{weapon "45mm_20k" filling "bullet45 ap" 1}
{charger "gunner"}
("abm_low")
}
{place "mgun"
{type "mgun_coaxial"}
{weapon "dt" filled}
{foresight "foresight3"}
{charger "gunner"}
("abm_mgun")
{basic}
}
{place "mgun2"
{type "mgun_rear"}
{weapon "dt" filled}
{foresight "foresight5"}
{gunner "commander"}
{charger "commander"}
("abm_mgun")
}
}


Now you can see that it has 3 weapons:

Main gun: 45mm_20k
Coaxial MG: DT
Rear MG: DT

If you want to know more about the main gun - 45mm_20k, you will need to go here: \men of war assault squad\resource\gamelogic.pak\set\stuff\gun\45mm_20 k

and so on...

-------------------------------------------------

It is not an easy task to find the information you need, but it is rewarding in the end, if you really want to know all there is to know about the smallest detail regarding game mechanics.

Good luck!

Thanks CTS for your reply..but that would be too much work :)
Anyways, in the meantime I found pdf files for different nations, kind of got to know what i wanted (which vehicle (gun) penetrates how much armor at what distance).
(found the files here : http://www.1cpublishing.eu/game/men-of-war-assault-squad/downloads)
