New Threat ID test

Matrix Games and Simulations Canada combine and completely remake two classic NATO vs. Warsaw Pact wargames into a new classic. Based on the original wargames “Main Battle Tank: North Germany” and “Main Battle Tank: Central Germany”, Flashpoint Germany is a new grand tactical wargame of modern combat. Every aspect of modern grand tactical warfare is included, from advanced armor, air and helicopters to chemical and tactical nuclear weapons. Step into the most dangerous war.. . that never was.

New Threat ID test

Post by Sabre21 »

OK everyone

Now's the time to seperate the men from the boys:D I have attached a zip file of 10 JPG slides numbered 1 thru 10.
Lets see who can guess the correct type in each picture. Friend or Foe does not count...actual identification does. In slides 4 and 5, give yourself a bonus point if you correctly identify both types of items in the slide.

I will post the answers tomorrow on this thread. If someone wants a shot at it...feel free to post it below. Official NATO or WP designations or names are acceptable.

If you all like this...I have hundreds more from where these came from:)

Slightly more difficult than the wireframes...

Here are my first guesses (without having consulted any references):

1) "Godzivka"?? Soviet 122mm SPA
2) PT-76
3) AH-64
4) The AFV is ASU-85... the plane is... TU-12?
5) Towed 105mm howitzer being towed by...??
6) Leopard I
7) M901
8) Current U.K. IFV (can't think of the name)
9) T-55
10) Belgian IFV??

Yikes, looking back at my answers I think I came up a bit short :(

Yep..just slightly more difficult than wire diagrams:)

So here are the answers:

1) 2S1 (Nato designation) 122 SP is acceptable

2) 2S9 - this is a BMD variant with a 120mm mortar as a main gun

3) AH1F Cobra

4) ASU85 with AN-12 Cub's in the background

5) D30 122mm howitzer being pulled by a BTR152

6) Leopard 2

7) M901 ITV

8) MCV80 Warrior (British IFV)

9) T80

10) YPR765 - This is the Dutch variant with the 25mm turret, the Belgium variant uses the 12.7mm.

Well I hope this one wasn't too hard. When I tested the pilots in our unit, I would show a slide for 10 seconds then go on to the next slide. The tests would average 50 slides with 90% as a passing score. These tests occurred about once a month, on one occasion I put in 250 slides...I thought I was gonna get lynched for that one:)

That was brutal! I think I need to go back to boot camp. I was OK for friend or foe, but that was about it! I got maybe 5 right by your criteria.

Cheers, Rob.

Yea...I know that was a tough one. If anyone could have gotten a 70% I would probably have to buy them a beer:)

90-100%

I couldn't tell wether it was the Dutch or Turk FMC MICV so i just put it down to Friendly Turk/Dutch. If this test was Friend-foe I'm 100%, if by nomenclature I'm at 90%
