weapon2010 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Enemy vehicles block line of fire , but not line of sight from enemy.Friendly vehicles do not block either line of fire or line of sight of other friendly units, whether they are infantry or other vehicles. Is this correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 This is from an old post, I'm copying it here (not mine). 1) Friendly vehicles never block LOS/LOF for other friendly vehicles. 2) Operable enemy vehicles block LOF, but not LOS, from friendly vehicles. 3) Non-smoking KO'd vehicles do not block LOS/LOF for friendly or enemy vehicles. 4) Non-smoking KO'd vehicles block LOF, but not LOS, from any unit as long as the targeted unit is not a vehicle (ie: tank shooting at infantry or infantry shooting at infantry) 5) Smoking vehicles block LOS and LOF. 6) "Vehicles" means tanks, SP guns, and AT/Anti-personnel guns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statisoris Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 What was the thought behind making Burning/Non-Burning KOed vehicle LOS/LOF rules different? Aren't they the same thing just one caught on fire after getting hit and one didn't? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, it effects would be more localized compared to a deliberate smoke device, but it would definitely obscure anything on the other side of it.

Statisoris Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Ok, I was thinking about the burning vehicle as it appears on screen. Not really any extra ground level obstruction from the fire and smoke vs non burning vehicles. So the no LOS/LOF rule is just an abstraction for a little more intense and billowing fire I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weapon2010 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Do all of those rules apply for squads and mg's or anything shooting bullets through vehicles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smoke one probably does, and dead enemy vehicles stop infantry fire. Don't know about the others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
