? on LOS/targeting

[Greg Scurlock]

My appologies if this has been covered. Does the % exposure given by the LOS tool take into consideration sight diminution by such thing as trees, leaves on trees, bushes, wheatfields, smoke, haze, light conditions such as dusk and dawn?

2. Does that equate with hit chance by that unit's particular weapon?

3. Can an infintry unit shoot from a hiding position? Can they crawl to the top of a rise and fire over the rise? This would mean they could see their target clearly with excellent hit %but because they would be lieing flat on the ground and would offer a much smaller target. Sort of a "hull down " position for infintry.

** please excuse spelling errors.

1. Yes. When you move the LOS line across the battlefield, you will see the line getting darker and darker, which means that foliage, haze, small depressions or elevations, fences, lanterns etc. reduce visibility and therefore also exposure. This is true also across open ground.

2. The smaller the exposure, the smaller the to hit chance, yes.

3. I am not sure if "hull down" for infantry is modelled specifically, but it is entirely possible that an infantry unit has an excellent LOS when standing (or kneeling) behind a ridge, but has no LOS when prone or crawling. This is taken into consideration by the 3D model.
