Spotting/Sight Question. Binoculars?


Recommended Posts

A reply by the entity known as BTS in the post about targeting arty spotters brought a question to my mind that I had not considered before...

For game purposes, are some units assumed (programmed) sighting range based on having binoculars handy?

What Units would this include? (as they would obviously be the best units to sneak into an enemy overwatch position)

As I said, I had not considered this to be included in the game, but if it is... AWESOME!

Thanks!

I guess this would mean HQ units, arty spotters, and sharpshooters (rifle scopes).

Do the German units get a spotting bonus due to their higher quality optics? wink.gif If not, BTS really needs to do somefink!

Okay, this list certainly makes sense.

I already use Sharpshooters and HQ units in combo as my battlefield observers. I was called "Gamey" once for using Sharpshooters as scouts... but I shrugged it off after watching Saving Private Ryan again and noticing the sniper acting in this role in the end battle.

After all, if it was in a movie it MUST be true! smile.gif
