REVS Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Did a search with the word 'fog' and came up with nothing, so here I am. In playing a series of QBs against a mate in either fog at dawn, or thick fog, I have noticed that my Russian boys (ie, both infantry and AFVs) can only see buildings when they are relatively close. I've done tests on the Germans and they are not affected this way. For example: Thick fog at dawn, general visibility across open ground is 83metres, but buildings only become 'visible' to all Russians at 72m. They can see past the buildings, but they can't see the buildings. In fog at dawn general visibility is 200m, but Russians can only see buildings at 172m or less. Thick fog at midday, general visibility 250m, but Russians can only see buildings at 215m or less. Just curious – any reason why this would be designed into the game? (Edited to say that the same problem occurs with Allies in CMAK.) [ August 23, 2007, 10:51 PM: Message edited by: REVS ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 REVS, Interesting, to say the least! As to the why, my guess would be better optics. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Infantry or armour? Quality of troops? More info required. I do agree that there is something strange re spotting in fog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REVS Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Both Russian infantry and armour are afflicted with the "can't see buildings" myopia, so it can't be better optics. And besides, we're talking distances of 250 metres or less. It's only an issue in fog or thick fog. Regular quality troops and AFVs, by the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highliner Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 More German troops than soviet troops are wearing glasses . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
