Question:
I am guessing that, as illustrated above, the equipment is relative and changes over time without any player effort (a 1-10 AT II in 1939 is equipped with 37mm ATG, while the same unit in 1943 would have 5cm or 75mm… ?)

Answer:
Yes. Europa assumes all sides are incrementally upgrading their equipment throughout the war, so that a 1-10 AT II vs. a 2-1-10 Tk II in 1940 could be a 37mm vs. a Pz II/III, while in 1944 it could be a 75mm vs. a late-war Pz IV, etc. Thus, most evolutionary equipment changes are not shown (otherwise we’d probably need triple the number of counters!) but revolutionary equipment changes are (for example, the appearance of the Panther tank).
