DarkFib3r Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hey all, I created a little quiz application to help with vehicle identification that you might find useful: http://positive-id.digitalpraxis.com. There are lots of armored vehicles, but there are also aircraft from different eras, too. I hope you find it fun and helpful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ssnake Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 This is pretty cool - pinned it! Is it really necessary to click the "next" button twice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkFib3r Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thanks ssnake, I appreciate it! Yeah, pressing the Next button twice feels like a needless gesture. I modeled the quiz after Duolingo, which always provides feedback on whether you are wrong or right. But I can see the value of eliminating success feedback and simply moving on to the next question. Thanks again for the pin and the feedback! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Furia Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Very interesting!! Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ssnake Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I propose more advanced quizzes, though. Like, an "8-wheels only" theme where you mix BTR-60s, -70s, and -80s, Piranhas, Luchs, and XA-360s at different ranges, angles, day and thermal. Having the thermal signature at full screen size is easy. Looking at blobs at 2000m range is much more of a challenge - or daysight, with rain. Or "tanks with rounded turrets only" - basically anything that has substantial similarities particularly at longer ranges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibsonm Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Happy to apply our gunnery standards: 10 sec exposure of a portion of a vehicle (thermal and day sight views, moving and static, various angles) - Gunner needs to determine fire / no fire. 80 or so exposures, 95% pass mark = 4 errors allowed.

How much is a "portion"? It's not something ridiculous like just a side mirror is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibsonm Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Can be anything: Half a road wheel. Couple of road wheels (e.g. gap between 1st and 2nd in T-55, no gap T-62, T-72 type wheels, T-64 type, M113, Leopard, M1, Centurion, ...) Track Barrel ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lumituisku Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I tried it and i find this to be very nice and ill definite recommend this to my other friends. Thought i wish it would at least sometimes be more challenging. Basically just as Ssnake said. Too often vehicles as option are way too different to be answer so it is really easy to eliminate wrong answers away. However if choices, at least part of them would be very similar it would be more difficult and test knowledge better. Oh if i may, i would love to see version with limited amount of time where one has to decide if to shoot or not - aka what camouflage (especially important on scenarios where parties have similar looking equipment) and if its hostile, as it might as well be civilian or ambulance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWerb Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Very nice and much appreciated. It would be great if you could turn it into something like Gibsonm described. Also, on the multiple choices, it would be good if you could make the choices all the same class of vehicle. MBT for example. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

apprichm Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Thanks for sharing this nice site. All that Vehicle Identification Training I had back at the Long Ranger Surveillance Leaders Course (circa 1992) paid off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
