Info on enemy units

[DeathMutant]

I can view detailed info on my own units, using the (i) button, but how do I view additional info on enemy units? Even unit size, like Small vs Large aircraft (or ships), would be helpful to know whether to counter them with Dogfighters or Interceptors (or Bombs or Torpedoes) but I would also like to see unit class like (Recon / Tank / Anti-Tank) or (Fighter / Tactical Bomber / Strategic Bomber). More specific info, like Infantry ("Soft Target?") Offensive/Defensive Rating or special characteristics could be hidden unless you could "learn" the unit stats over time; the more often you are attacked or attack a specific type of unit the more is revealed. If not available in-game, has someone published a detailed list of unit specifications?

I have a reply but you are not going to like either Part A or Part B of it.

Part A: In-game, as you know, you can hover over an enemy unit and see its stats.

But that is not what you are looking for, of course. You are looking for the type of information that you see for your own units when using the (i) button. So if you are asking the question implied by your saying "If not available in-game," I am relatively sure the answer is "No, it is not." If it is available, somebody please let us know how to get at it.

Part B: Your other question is "has someone published a detailed list of unit specifications?" and the answer is "Yes" but unfortunately it's not user-friendly. I am referring, of course, to the units.csv file. You can import this semi-colon delimited file into Excel for viewing or if you are a bit more adventurous, use a csv editor like CSVed (just be careful with the file itself - maybe work on a copy and leave the original alone - because the game will not start if this file gets corrupted and that can be easy to do). Here, I used CSVed to filter columns and show some of the types of information that you are seeking:

Now, you see? I told you that you were not going to like either Part A or Part B as an answer.

Units.csv, that will work, I will just open it up with something like Google Sheets (on another monitor) while I play OoB. Thanks! Your screenshot includes two important pieces of information that I was looking for: class (like Fighter) and role (like Interceptor) but I suspect there is more info in that file as well.

Well, I am glad that YOU are glad!

I'm not familiar with Google Sheets but if it is like Excel, then you perhaps know about search, sort, and filter. Powerful tools. Just better work on a copy of units.csv, instead of the original file, as I mentioned.
