Op fire filter question.

HI Matxer

It is a little tricky when you start to use it but once you get the hang of the filters it is BRILLIANT!!!

It gives you some measure of control of your units during the enemy's phase of the turn.
It is perfect for ambushes, be it an ATGM (as you pointed out) or a sniper or MG or anything else for that matter.
Also it is very useful for any other unit that is advancing on the field. You may not be thinking of an ambush with that unit but if something comes into LOS then you can at least control the shots fires during the op-fire phase.

I still just use the Y key to set distance and sometimes switch off a weapon but when the fighting gets desperate and you are dealing with important units ...the filters are exceptional.

Set up a practice battle and have a play.
In half an hour you will see how easy it can be.

Cheers
