Knaust Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I was playing the Berezina-River scenario...a T26 completely behind a factory building was targeted by a MKIV...they shooted each other ...the scenario situation file is at disposal of everyone who wants it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtabell Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Not a bug...it's designed that way I believe. Had the same thing happen in the zoo scenario. There are occasions that they can see through some buildings. It is to simulate some degree of reality of being able to see through paper thin factory walls. Not sure the specifics.

reinald@berlin.com Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Sometimes there's LOS through abstract windows and tanks therefore occasionally can fire at each other desoite being on opposite sides of buildings. No bug, it's a feature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Manuel Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Don't forget that CM's visual aspect is an ABSTRACTION. The tanks are not "really" where you see them... much like a squad can take up one 20x20m "tile." Beware of using buildings for cover w/ your tanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Realize the truth. There is no building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Murray Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I don't think it's a bug either. I noticed the same thing in CMBO. Everything's an abstraction - it's just the way the game engine works.

Chad Harrison Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Originally posted by ParaBellum: Realize the truth. There is no building. So how deep does the CM rabit hole go? But in seriousness, a few nights ago in a TCP/IP game the same thing happened to me. Suppose a window was in the right place, or did I only think that the building was there? Or was the tank even really there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knaust Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 The T26 was well behind the building....the LOs had to cross two walls...maybe these facories have windows like black holes :eek: just sending the file to Bob Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 There is a known bug in CM (already in CMBO) that, sometimes, enables LOS through not only one, but even several buildings at once. Fortunately I haven't encountered it personally, so it probably depends on rather extreme circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
