- Kronzky
- This command can be used on the whole hierarchical class tree (i.e. when checking a HMMWV, one could test for "HMMWV50", "Car", "LandVehicle", etc., all of which would return true.)

- Dr_Eyeball
- It appears isKindOf is limited to the CfgVehicles branch of the class hierachy.
So CfgWeapons, CfgMagazines, etc will return false for checks like: ("M9" isKindOf "Pistol") returns false

- In a2 isKindOf also works for CfgAmmo in addition to CfgVehicles: ("M_9M311_AA" isKindOf "MissileBase") returns true. NOT for CfgWeapons, CfgMagazines and others..
