Thanks for that clarification; yes, that is one part of the question. The other part is how do you know if an enemy unit still has LOS to your friendly unit as opposed to the enemy seeing a "spotted marker" i.e. unit was seen there but is not in the enemy view currently.
You can't be completely sure that you've gone to a "spotted" icon in the enemies eyes. POS has a thread in the tactics section about spotting ranges....outside those ranges if you aren't firing or moving you can be reasonably certain you will soon drop to an icon only. When moving, it becomes a matter of experience. It is better to break contact by getting out of line of sight completely and then sneaking back another way.
On the other hand, if your unit has a yellow incoming line then you know that they've been seen....the yellow line indicates you are being shot at or, if the enemy unit is still turning, about to be shot at.
One slight caveat....a red/yellow targetting line will last a few seconds after the enemy has gone out of sight....eg an enemy tanks going behind a hill or building......but no more than that. So it can be misleading for those few seconds.
Congratulations on your first win over POS!
Congrats also to POS for his admirable assistance to a new player. I would have loved being able to pick Spike's brains when I was new.
