I spent a lot of time on them, and used a fairly sophisticated system to determine them. I started by finding real world stats for the vehicles presented in the d20 Modern book. I converted these real world stats into d20 Modern terms that matched their stats as presented in the d20 Modern rules. By doing this I developed a number of equations that I then applied to all WWII era vehicles based on their stats. Hardness was determined by comparative mm of armor thickness, adjusted somewhat arbitrarily for extenuating circumstances, such as casting Vs rivets. Initiative modifiers were largely determined by comparing the Horse Power to Tonnage ratio, according to a set scale of advancement.  As an aside, when I was deconstructing the vehicles and weapons in d20 Modern, I got the feeling that the designers didn't research their vehicles and weapons nearly as well as I did. Many of the stats in d20 Modern seem arbitrary and inaccurate. For example, the range of a 45 Caliber handgun, and the range for a 50 caliber machine gun are both completely wrong. Because of these errors, I had to re-write the stats for them, so they would fit with all the other WWII weapons I was developing.  They are both in this:<a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=2284" target="_blank">Modern Eras (1939-1945</a>). So is the Panzer II, III, IV, Panther, Panther II, Tiger, Maus, Cromwell, Crusader, Fire Fly, Black Prince, Jackson, Pershing, T-28, Chi-he, Chi-ha, Type 94, Ha-go, T-34, T35, JS I, II, III and several other tanks, not to mention dozens of cars, planes, submarines, jets, spy gear, guns, ammo, grenades, and cannons.   OK, I'll stop pimping my book now  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />  I'd just hate to see people spend a lot of time doing the same research I spent months doing.</blockquote>
