Kingfish Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 1) How does one determine LOS when placing units in setup? 2) Is there a way of changing the firepower exchanges for a unit so as to speed up the game play. For instance, a T80 firing on an infantry team will shoot 3 times (1 each for main gun, heavy MG and light MG). Is there any way to change this so that the FP rating for all 3 weapons are applied once per engagment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH TacOps Developer Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 >1) How does one determine LOS when placing units in setup? = = = = = = = = = = = = From Page 21 of the tutorial. Confirming Line of Sight Units can only see and fire at each other when there is a clear line of sight between them. Line of sight can be blocked by intervening woods, towns, large structures, and higher ground. The Line of Sight Check menu item allows you to drag a line across the map that reveals the range between the start and end points and indicates if the line of sight along the line is clear or blocked. Select the Line of Sight Check item in the Map menu. A cross hair will appear on the map. While holding down the mouse button, click on the map and drag the cross hair around the screen. The range between the start and end of the line is shown at the bottom of the screen as well as the terrain elevation, terrain type, and the UTM grid coordinates of the end point. [uTM grid coordinates are explained in the User's Guide.] If the cross hair remains clear then the line of sight is clear. If the cross hair turns black then the line of sight is blocked. If the cross hair turns gray then there is a clear line of sight to a target point but the point is beyond the scenario's maximum visibility limit. Release the mouse button to quit. You just checked the line of sight of a unit using normal day vision – in other words eyesight. Smoke will block normal line of sight. Smoke may or may not block the line of sight of a unit equipped with a thermal imaging device. To check thermal line of sight, select the Thermal LOS Check item in the Map menu. The routine works the same from this point on. = = = = = = = = = = = = Once a unit is on the map you can also check LOS by opening a unit's orders window and clicking on the button labeled "LOS". >2) Is there a way of changing the firepower exchanges for a unit so as to >speed up the game play.

No. The only way to speed up game play is to turn off weapon firing sounds by selecting the "Options/Use Click Sound" menu item. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
