pcelt Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Sometimes in some QBs and with some enemy units--when I click a visible enemy unit ikon the whole map area fills over with a large yellow colouration which immediately disappears when the unit is deselected. Any ideas please ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker15 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I believe you are seeing an area objective (unit needs to enter the area to get it), it's quite normal and I think you can turn it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reel-why Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Sounds like a full area Target Arc to me. After the computer has held down an imaginary "shift" and told their unit to watch everything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molotov_billy Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Say, what's an Ikon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 I have re-examined these again and it seems possible they are target arcs as the circle size does vary a little in relation to the enemy unit type selected, and empty carriers with no intrinsic weapons show no filled in circle. What puzzles me is why this occurs in some battles and not others---I have not seen it in an actual created scenario but in some QBs. Finally if these are computer created target arcs can their actual display on the game map be turned off.... Thanks again for the feedback and if there are any other ideas especially re turning them off,I should be very grateful to hear them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 It would be fairly bizarre to be able to 'see' cover arcs from opposing units -- facing, yes, but cover arcs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Mud--they are not "cover arcs" but large filled in yellow circles---look more like "range circles" of each enemy unit selected. But I only see these in some QBs and not others---and not ever in actual created scenarios. Im just puzzled --theyre not a show stopper... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNac Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 are 360 degree cover arcs. try this: shift + cover arc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 KNac and Reel-why -- Thanks That is clearly what they are. But why in just a few QBs when I click on an enemy unit do I see this 360 degree arc but not in the vast majority of battles. Any ideas why this is revealed by the computer in just a few QBs only ? Thanks for all the help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
