I could do with being updated, however, and perhaps arranged alphabetically?
Unfortunately, the person who had been maintaining it has passed, which is why it hasn't updated in some time.
That said, the best bet in that thread is to use your browser's 'find' option, look for the name of the unit in question, and filter through the results- and check for the right spelling, of course, because as i learned once doing VotW and finding a tank wasn't on the list... if you spell it wrong, you write an article a second time and upset the original author. (I miss writing articles, I definitely don't miss the beating I took from people in PM over it.)
If anyone has the time and dedication to build a new version of the index, it's not going to be a quick or easy process, but it would have to be the hard way- only the original poster or a moderator can modify the original post, and with the former gone and the latter already overworked as it is the other option is a rebuild- and one that would need to be worked on weekly-ish, so it's a long-term project. If anyone IS interested, know what you're getting yourself into- and contact me so I can make sure it's stickied and all that.
