Voodoochile Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Another way is to click on the enemy unit. If there is a red line going from it to your unit, then it can definitely see you because it is firing at you. If you click your unit that you think might be whithin LOS of an enemy unit, there will be a yellow line. Hope that made sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, the lines are still there when LOS is broken - e.g. after you reversed. You never know if you are spotted. You only know whether there is some incoming. Gruß Joachim BTW: How do you know in RL if another person can see you or not? In CM it is exactly the same... ... except that if one enemy can see a units, its position is revealed to all enemies during the next orders phase (aka "borg spotting"). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerxes Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 If the enemy isn't firing at you, you can't tell if you've been seen or not. You can guess/estimate, but you can't be sure. Realistic, n'est pas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerwin Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 Thinking about it, it is realistic yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy Lurking Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Re "Yellow IncomingTargeting" line, This has always seemed a little unrealistic although great for game play! In real life if one did not see the firing flash or hear the incoming one would not know one was an active(?) target. How often does one highlight a high-risk unit and from the yellow lines choose and target back the most lethal threat? IMHO the yellow target lines should not show before the firing unit fires and then only if it is spotted. Am I missing something here? Maybe this is all tied up with the fact that all units spot for all other units? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinzi Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 With snipers and panzerbüchsen you dont have the yellow line often. Be sure to set fog of war to extreme (I always use that). Flexible Mgs often dont produce yellow lines, too. Arrg I want to write more but my english sucks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
