AFV Recognition

The ultimate Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) recognition guide, now available on your mobile devices.

This application is the end product of years of studying military equipment and how to best identify it, with input from serving military and veterans alike. AFV Recognition, or Equipment ID, as it is known in some NATO countries, is the art of identifying what vehicle you see on the battlefield.

This information not only allows you to stay safer/employ the right effects, but also informs your command of the formation that is in front of you. This vital information, if accurate, not only wins battles - but wins wars.
