ENCYCLOPEDIA The Encyclopedia is an invaluable tool for visual recognition of various units in the game, and is also an excellent source of technical data for each unit. To select the Encyclopedia, click the Encyclopedia button on the Main Menu page.
Encyclopedia
The Encyclopedia consists of two primary parts: the object picture on the left, and the object data window on the right. Along the top of the screen are a series of seven tabs that correspond to seven categories of objects (unit types) in the game. These include:
Aircraft. All fixed-wing aircraft.
Helicopters. All rotary-wing aircraft.
Ships. All naval vessels.
Vehicles. All non-air defense-related ground vehicles.
Weapons. Air, land, and sea weapons that can be launched/dropped from a unit.
Air Defense. Air defense systems.
Buildings. Ground structures.
After selecting an Object Category, you may use the Object List drop down list on the right side of the screen to view all units in that category that are represented in the game. Once you have selected a unit, left mouse click on it to view a picture on the left side of the screen, and view its data on the right side.
