Armour Order of Appearence
by Pz_J_Dietrich
Below is a list of tank units that appear in each of the different month chapters of the RR Close Combat game. By having this list you can find out which armoured units are available to each side in the different time chapters and to possibly pick the stronger side. By knowing the list you can find out what armour you are missing in your force roster due to rarity and what units are available to your enemy in that time of the game.
If your rarity is excellent and you haven't seen the other sides forces yet, you can just look at this list and see what the other player has available for him/her to pick. Then you can make a decision whether to stay with your side or to move. When entering a game and looking at one of the sides for the first time and rarity is poor, but you know that if rarity was good you'd have excellent units because you know what tanks are available to you from this list, you can ask to see the other side and then gamble by moving back to the side you first saw, giving you better rarity maybe. By using the tactic you can be able to pick the best side for your needs.
Example:
If you are playing as the Russians in a game that is set in the Spring of 1944, you can look at this list and know that by that time in the game Russians can receive the new IS-2's as well as the new T34/85 + command versions. So, with a good rarity these tanks, as with the other tanks that appeared before that chapter in the game are available. Then by looking at the list for the German side in Spring 1944, and with good rarity, you will know they can receive the new Wirbelwinds and JagdPanther tanks in addition to all the other tanks before that date.
