I am curious how it works in a summer battle over the congested terrain of M44. Seeing a group of enemy tanks moving in and out of LOS, (and do not assume they moved in a straight line always) should be reason enough for the loss of firepower for two and three hex ranges.
Great optics are of little use if the enemy is not in sight long enough to get a good shot at him. Not really worth revealing the defensive position.

In the congested terrain of M44 two or three hex vis comes up less often. There is no modifier for summer or einter just the vis rule. BUT in all the games 2 or 3 hex vis is just that whether its in the desert or anywhere else. In PZC there is no concealment lost when you fire , you will be seen whatever the next turn. ( except the fisrt defensive fire ) .
Tigers are looking for range shots because that is how they can win , not letting the Russians get close . I agree Stugs and others more used to defence are looking at ambush that is why I made them 1 range.
