Enoch Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 Here is the listing of my tests on LOS distances. All tests were conducted on clear terrain with no intervening obstacles. Results did not vary by unit type or vehicle buttoned status. Ground conditions nor Elevation appear to influence the results. If anyone wants I have a table that looks a little better in Word format I can email to them. Weather Clear(Day) Unlimited Overcast (Day) Unlimted Rain (Day) 2000m Snow (Day) 1002m Fog (Day) 752m Thick Fog (Day) 250m Clear (Dawn/Dusk)1050m Overcast (D/D) 762m Rain (D/D) 438m Snow (D/D) 251m Fog (D/D) 200m Thick Fog 84m Clear (Night) 185m Overcast (Night) 146m Rain (Night) 95m Snow (Night) 64m Fog (Night) 54m Thick Fog (Night) 28m [ 04-17-2001: Message edited by: Enoch ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrene Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 Very nice Enoch, that'll probably come in handy. Gyrene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 A VERY similiar test result was posted here on the board a LONG time ago and there is also one on the board here somewhere that gives the distance you can see through tall pines, scattered trees and woods, ( i.e. how deep into the woods you have to be to NOT be spotted. But I'm not sure where that post is. Thanks for the LOS list that is very informative. -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agua Posted April 17, 2001 Share Posted April 17, 2001 Thanks Enoch. Don't suppose you'd try to do a movement table under varying conditions (i.e., American engineers / damp ground conditions = 28 meters / minute). It's a huge undertaking. I started to put this together but just got overwhelmed by the size of the project. One difficulty is you have to eyeball how far the unit travelled, requiring replay after replay. Maybe there'd be some interest in a group of people, each taking just a few units, and trying to put together such a table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoch Posted April 17, 2001 Author Share Posted April 17, 2001 Funny you should mention that as I was thinking about that test as well. Vehicles would be the most difficult considering the varying speeds at which they travel. You would also need to control for traveling across differnt surfaces (dirt road vs. paved road vs. open ground vs scattered trees) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
