Mr.Dozer Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 My friend Matt pointed out ot me (were playing a game with engineers added 1 to germany and italy, 2 to Russaia, 1 paratrooper to england and USA). So anyway he pointed out that we could see each others forts when the country is neutral or active that its weird to see it especcialy when we should not see it yet. I understand if we se it once like the siegfried line and we know its there, well these have never been seen yet.... so whats up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I would think that construction on the scale that SC fortifications entail is pretty hard to disguise from common knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Dozer Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 i guess from spies but air planes would not be able to see them far back in russia would they? I understand if they made the sight of them the opposite of subs were they give of there location so it its 6 spots away and plane can see 5 they yo would spot it because its big?

Canuck_para Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I agree with Dozer. I think it would be better to have it as a surprise as you approach it. I think spotting range should be enough to see fortications. Anything like the Maginot should always be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I think this is an engine limitation, basically you can see other fortifications (Gibraltar and Malta) all the time, I think it is coded the same way for all of them. Maybe it is easy to fix and maybe I'm out to lunch on my thought. But I agree it should be like units for spotting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Dozer Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 the thing is they are non moveable so gibralter and malta make sense, also they are fortresses not forts. Fort should be hidden until see and once seen always seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I think they should be visible. If you build them far behind your lines then unless your opponent is busy scouring the map for them then they'll remain a surprise for a while longer. And what if he does seem them? He can't do anything about them being there, so don't worry. In addition, just because you build forts doesn't mean that you have to fight there. Use them to blind your opponent into believing that you have entrenched units on them far behind your lines, while you are really building up your strength for a counter attack somewhere else. Use your imagination and the fact that they can be seen can be used to your advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
