Believe it or not, there was an entire thread about these a few years ago... including differences between ordinary concentration camps and extermination camps... worked out with levels for them and all that... pretty awkward and sketchy iirc.

I love CoW, but it does attract a certain...... Type of people.

In conclusion, SP anti tank is not a tank destroyer.

Unarmored motorized anti tanks and artillery equipped with artillery, howitzer or gun tractors existed, and at least the latter motorized artillery still active.

･ self-propelled

･ motorized

･ mechanized

･ armored

are different concepts that are self-explanatory.

I also think it would be interesting to distinguish between these and express them as attributes of a unit.

Self-propelled means merging the power with the target components, making it impossible to separate each component independently no more.

So, for example, it is inaccurate to designate a mule-pulled field gun as self-propelled.

Automobileization is literally used when the power source is a motor.

In this case, it does not make any difference whether the unit is towed or not, or whether it is the carrying unit of the target unit.

Therefore, motorized infantry, field artillery towed by motor vehicles, and field artillery mounted on motor vehicles can all be described as “ motorized ”.

By the way, in Japanese, the expression “ 自動車 - 化 ” ( with a nuance similar to car-ation ) is used, so it is hard almost japanese people to intuitively remind that infantry equipped with snowmobiles would be included in motorized infantry.

On the other hand, mechanization ( in a military context ) refers to simultaneously making an object armored and motorized.

Yes. Motorized are Motor vehicles such as cars. Mechanized are armored vehicles like half tracks, APC’s and such. If it doesn’t have armor it’s likely motorized, if it does then mechanized.
