This is the first in a series of charts I intend doing covering every nation through the war to provide an at-a-glance idea of each units armour thickness, I've simply cut and pasted the in-game data icons with a bit of magnification thrown in.
Note - it's normal to sometimes see a type appear more than once in the charts (eg PzIIIJ) with a different gun or different armour each time, it simply means one was an earlier or later sub-type.
Also, sometimes all the tanks of a family (eg Panther) have the same gun and roughly the same armour (ie no colour difference) so I just use one icon to represent them all.
And to avoid clutter I've left out halftracks and most armoured cars.
The years are just approximate, as types often overlapped into other years
GERMAN 1941-early 42
