ChrisND Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nope that is an implemented feature. Same with engineers in fortifying mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromley Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Spotting ranges are halved and, I think, rounded down. At least you can't see a prepared para who is adjacent to a city of yours if it's unoccupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Well thats news to me. How about if a Paratrooper is in the prepare mode on a coastal city and a ship comes adjacent to the city (either bombarding or not,) will the paratrooper be seen or still hidden?

Bromley Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Exceedingly good point. Not sure, but as Engineers are visible in those circumstances I'd say that paras probably are too. That destroys my round-down theory . I've definitely had an opponent's para unit disappear though even though it was adjacent to an unoccupied Smolensk.

Terif Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 A short look into the version notes answers all those questions : " - Added a FoW feature for Engineers, now they will remain hidden under FoW while building a FORTIFICATION unless an enemy unit is immediately adjacent - Added a FoW feature for Paratroops, now they will remain hidden under FoW while preparing unless an enemy unit is immediately adjacent - Changed FoW for Land units spotting units at sea. Now all land units, with the exception of Bombers, will spot Naval units at 1/2 their current spotting range, i.e. AF spotting range might already be Reduced due to weather effects etc., all other spotting remains the same... should make the "cat and mouse" (Desert Dave) naval game a bit more interesting." Cities are no units and therefore can not spot engineers/Paras in prepare mode. Ships are units and therefore can . P.S.: spotting range is rounded up (i.e. if you have a spotting range of 2.5 then you can see 3 tiles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
