Elmar Bijlsma Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 There is no real user interface measuring how much cover you have, except the unit icons as explained in the last tutorial mission. Luckily, things work pretty much as you expect them to in reality. So houses, tanks etc, give you complete protection if you cower behind them. Park a big tank behind a low wall and that tank is bound to have it's turret shot through. An infantryman standing behind that same wall can get shot, one kneeling behind cannot. (unless he peeks over, as they are prone to do every now and then) Brush and trees make you harder to spot and harder to shot at, thus gives some cover. Though a brush won't stop bullets so if spotted you'd better find cover or hit the dirt quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Oops, just realized that hiding behind tanks doesn't provide a guarantee you'll not get hit. If a big gun has enough power to punch through the tank and out again, anyone standing behind it is going to be discharged from the army in an abrupt and unexpected fashion. Still, better then nothing, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
