FAQ

Quick answers for reviewers and players

Is Militarydle a simulation or an official defense database?

No. Militarydle is an editorial game built on public reference data. It is designed to help players compare military profiles, not to act as an operational planning tool.

Why do some numbers look rounded or simplified?

Public military data often comes from different reporting years and different methodologies. Values are normalized for consistent gameplay and readability, which can introduce rounding.

How are vehicles and systems chosen for each country profile?

Profiles focus on notable in-service models that help compare land, air, naval, missile, and air-defense capabilities. The lists are illustrative rather than exhaustive inventories.

Can I request a correction?

Yes. Use the contact section and include the country, field, proposed correction, and source. Corrections are reviewed before being added to the live dataset.
