FOW IED Bug/Feature?

[J_Toe]

Hi, was just messing around in the editor and whilst playing a scenario on 'veteran' difficulty noticed this strangeness:

This screen is from the syrians side and this is the FOW info I have when no Syrian units are selected (which is meant to be the sum of your FOW intelligence i think), all the US units are displayed:

The next two screens show the info with my two remaining teams selected(left click) individually in each screen:

Fighter team 1 (US units turn to '?'):

HQ Team (US units turn to '?'):

And finally this image shows the IED (left over after my trigger man was killed) selected:

Now I could be wrong but it looks to me like the IED is providing all the spotting of the US units - either

a) Those syrians have got some pretty smart bombs lying around .

I don't really understand the new spotting/FOW rules (Does anyone yet!?)

c) Some sort of spotting/FOW bug.

Answers on a postcard to the usual address, winners will be selected at random by a religiously intolerant marmot.

Have you tried the same in the Elite mode ?

No, I will do later and report back, but shouldn't elite only increase the friendly FOW?

These were the only units of mine on the map that were alive and as the bottom screenshot shows according to the relative spotting model the IED is spotting!? Which it shouldn't do at any difficulty level. Should it? :confused:

It looks like a bug to me - well spotted.
