Spotting and unit quality - does it matter?

[Copper]

If a sniper falls in the forest, is there a sound?

Well, this regular and crack german sniper prove that when enemy units are hidden, you can almost walk up to them and tap dance on their helmets.

I walked the regular sniper up, and then the crack sniper up. When the regular sniper walked up, a sound icon was projected about 20m away from where he actually was, so the russians knew someone was lurking, but could not pinpoint. The crack walked up like a ghost.

The regular sniper moved within 7m and in woods, detected the hidden russkies without them knowing he was there.



These are the hiding russkies, with the germans nowhere to be seen on their turn.



Both snipers then turn and head off for lunch, the hidden russkies none the wiser. Icons appear for the hidden russkies.




After this, I walked a Tank hunter unit up and when he tried to get within 7 feet, he was gunned down by an activated russian squad.

This is not the test that I wished to perform, as I wanted to know if the crack sniper could spot troops at the same distance that the regular sniper could not.

This is all the time I have, but I may do more tomorrow. The theory is still not disproven.

Cheers!
