I/O Error Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 IIRC, snipers and recon units such as half-tracks are the best spotters in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 If I understand your question correctly, it is which unit that has the best chance to detect and identify enemies? The answer must be any stationary leg unit of good troop quality that isn't hiding. Best suited are sharpshooters, since they are best at keeping themselves concealed, but a regular rifle squad should be even better since there are more eyes looking around. Exactly how spotting is modeled in CM I don't know. Halftracks and armoured cars are vehicles and therefore a lot worse at detecting enemies.

Beer_n_Pretzels Posted January 12, 2001 Share Posted January 12, 2001 The higher the quality of the unit the better the chance to spot enemy units. Infantry spot much better than vehicles. A Crack sniper in a tall building, or a veteran split squad at the edge of a wood can see a long way, even if it is hiding. However hiding a unit does lower the chance of it spotting enemy units.
