Wolfe Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 Been bitten by the 'soft corners' of buildings before (shell travels thru a building corner to kill a tank), but I've never seen it quite this bad before: http://users.erols.com/chare/cm/1longday.jpg Both 81mm mortars have LOS to multiple tanks that should be completely obscured by the building in front of them.

Guest KwazyDog Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 Hehe, errmm...pssst Wolfe Thats the way I set that one up....the Platoon HQ is doing the spotting for them Hope you enjoy the scenario! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe Posted September 11, 2000 Author Share Posted September 11, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by KwazyDog: Platoon HQ is doing the spotting for them <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Dan, if you DL the saved game and hit 'L' to check for LOS, the HQ unit can see (has direct LOS to) an abandoned M8 Greyhound. If you do the same for the mortar teams, neither has LOS. Of course, because the HQ can see the Gryhound, the mortars certainly would be able to target it. But it's my understanding that the mortars should NOT have LOS to something they can't see (atleast that's how I've understood the game to work since BTS added the HQ spotting ability). Next to the Greyhound is a dead Sherman 76. The HQ also has LOS to this, but the mortars indicate they do as well. If the HQ can pass spotting ability to the mortar teams for the dead 76, why can't he do it for the Greyhound? BTW, only 1 of the mortars has LOS to the dead Sherm 76. Sorry. But both are within command of the HQ unit. BTW, I hate this scenario. It's too hard. This is my 4th try at winning. - Chris [This message has been edited by Wolfe (edited 09-10-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 Ahhh, I see, so the mortars can see right through the building with the LOS tool Ok, that ones interesting Wolfe, I will check it out. My only suggestions at this point is that maybe the mortars are so close to the building they can see through it, but even so they probably shouldnt be able too. Looking into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. Does LOS into/out of houses change with the seasons just like LOS through trees?!? - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzer Posted September 11, 2000 Share Posted September 11, 2000 Anyway...there certainly is a LOS-through-building-corners-bug ...seen that a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
