Hev Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Ive had the spotting bug before 1.04, but its definately there. You click the enemy unit, a bunch of your unit icons light up, you click one of them and the enemy vanish's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adultery Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 that doesnt sound like a bug, maybe the unit hasnt seen the enemy unit yet, i bet if you go through all the highlighted troops, at least one of them will have eyes on the target 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntarr Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Reverse Slope is good cover for the target. (ie. harder to hit) Capt sounds right. What skill were you playing under. Sounds like Vet or Elite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandur Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Reverse Slope is good cover for the target. (ie. harder to hit) so, this means we "should" acually be able to target such targets!? i never can order my troops to shoot on revers slope targets... it makes sense with direct fire but iam allways pretty pissed when MK19 or AGS17 have "revers slope" displyed...i mean for what are this indirect fire weapons!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptWasp Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think reverse slope means: the enemy is only partially exposed, but I can target it; it's only very difficult to hit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Sometime long ago, I thought someone came and briefly explained reverse slope. My mind is foggy about it in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHEN YOU CLICK AN ENEMY UNIT, ALL OF YOUR UNITS THAT CAN SPOT IT LIGHT UP. WHEN YOU CLICK ON ONE OF THOSE UNITS 90% OF THE TIME THE UNIT CANT SEE. is that any clearer for you, cos it sounds and looks like a bug for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Krejcirik Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think there is a difference between "can spot" and "actually spotted" and that's exactly what you are observing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntarr Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Reverse Slope has the ability to target. Just harder to hit Reverse Slope also has the inability to target due to "No Aim Point" Your still in LOS so you do not receive a "No LOS" you just have a more difficult shot.

This does not necessarily mean the units that are lit up can see the enemy unit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neepster Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 At least ONE of your units has to be able to see it though, right? I think he is saying that NONE of his units can see the enemy. That shouldn't be possible. If you can see the icon, at least one unit can see the enemy (or should) yes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Originally posted by Lucid Nightmare: This makes very little sense -- certainly not under 'elite' FOW, where this function still operates -- without some extremely good communications interception capability. ...unless it's strictly "might theoretically be able to see" and not "actually is seeing", but even then, there's some very good estimation going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka_tom_w Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think the issue here is that in the game LOS is NOT the same as LOF So watch does that mean, a unit thinks they see something (LOS to opposing unit) but they don't have a good shot or LOF. So spotting does not equal %100 chance of shooting as LOS is does not guarentee %100 chance of LOF. I think that is part of the issue with that whole blue target line to the "Reverse Slope" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
