I'm enjoying the game a lot so far and love to dive into the data the subunit inspector provides. I stumbled over the Hull to Turret Ratio and was wondering what this is and what effect it has on the units. I couldn't find anything about this in the manual.

Interesting.

The game models both turret armor protection and hull armor protection. During resolution of the shots at a vehicle, the game needs to decide how likely the shot is hitting the hull instead of the turret. This is done based on the vehicle's posture (dug-in or not, so exposing less or more of the hull), and the size of the turret relative to the hull.

Thanks a lot. And I have another question if you don't mind. I guess Profile size has something to do with how big a vehicle is and how easy it is to conceal it?

Correct, profile size indicates how big the vehicle is, which has implications for being observed and being hit (both direct fire and direct hits from indirect fire, so bombs/shells/submunitions dropping on top of the vehicle).

That's good to know. By the way, the value for the Canadian Lynx Recon Vehicle seems a little odd to me. It has a profile size of 19 which is a lot higher than any vehicle I've seen so far. Could this be an error?

19 is a bug, a big one. Fixed. It will be corrected in the January update with some other data corrections. These require us to do a scenario data refresh and we don't have time for that with the December update. If you see anything else odd like that, please let me know.

Great! I will keep my eyes open.
