Scarhead -> LOS for spotters (4/6/2000 2:14:00 PM)
|
1 )
Is it possible to look over a wooden building in SPWAW? Standing on a height 30 ridge, you should easily look across most buildings. Especially spotters should have better LOS from there.
I remember a great Stalingrad map in SP3 (forgot the author, but the map is terrific!). I took the commanding hill ASAP accepting losses, and strategically it was worth nothing (except the vhexes, but I could have taken them later with less losses)
2)
If a building is height 10, a spotter should have LOS from the roof, not the basement. (Hey, it would be a nice feature to have spotters being able to climb trees and buildings, using the same switch as engineers :"(do not) clear mines in front" would get "use highest point of hex/stay level". Being more exposed if climbing up, of course...
3)
And will the message "no LOS" for spotters still apply if the rounds fall right on top the spotter during a danger close mission? LOS for this purpose should be expanded a bit into the usually unseen... You won't see a squad, but you will conceive an explosion
4)
Not exactly for spotters, but related to 2): Recce units now often retreat in SP3 if a tank unit closes in. Could we have a switch there "retreat on contact/stand and fight" like the "clear mines" switch for engineers?
And hey, I want it in v1.0, but I would even wait a few patches
