Hiding vehicles and crew recovery?

[markshot]

Hiding infantry units speeds their morale recovery.

Does hiding AFVs have a similar impact on shaken crews?

Thanks.

I would expect that the only real advantage infantry enjoys in morale recovery from hiding comes from a reduced volume of incoming fire (as they may drop from sight, or at least be worse targets). I would not expect the same benefit for vehicles, since you have to get them out of LOS to reduce the incoming fire. Having them hide with enemies about that have LOS just reduces their return fire ability and is thus not recommended.

In fact, I don't find Hide to be a useful command for vehicles in any game except perhaps CMBO in connection with Ambush.

Hide is very useful in CMBB and CMAK when you want your vehicles to remain hidden. Set them to hide and they won't generate sound contacts. This is supposedly because they have turned off their engines. Whatever or however...all I know is it works.
