Nicholas Bell -> IFV/APC Hide/Defilade Command & others (12/15/2015 8:18:34 PM)

I'd like to see a command to stop IFV's and APC's from acting like tanks when the infantry is dismounted. Actually I'd prefer the ability to keep them a hex away from their passengers so that overwatch could be simulated, but that would add more complexity. So perhaps a "hide" command which prevents the carrier unit from firing and places them in defilade. This could be linked to the cover value of the hex and perhaps also to the unit facing. The idea being that it's difficult to find a position which will conceal a vehicle from all directions.
Dismounted infantry seems to be too easy to spot at long distances, too. Perhaps it is their carriers giving them away?
The gist of this is I'd really like see the ability to set engagement ranges so that units could conduct ambushes. Being able to hide is critical, thus the suggested change. (apart from IFV/APCs acting like tanks).
Also, fidelity would be improved by differentiating between cover and concealment in the map values. Forest should have high concealment values but should not have the same cover value of urban terran which also is good for concealment.
