Sighting Question

[low_bidder]

Experience counts. Remember your unit has to pass some random rolls before it 'sees' an enemy unit. The roll (not a good word, but I don't know what else to call it) has modifiers. Experience visibility, terrain, suppression, etc. Moving status counts also. So it's possible and not even unusual for one side to 'see' the other and remain unseen. This happens mostly when the 'seeing' unit is not moving, ready and has good experience. I think the vision rating gets in there somehow.

Run a test. Have a tank sitting in a hide and do the vis hex thingie. Then MG it to get some suppression, Now move it about 1/2 of it's MP's and do the vis thingie again. Note which hexes you can see. Now reload that turn and do it over without the suppression. There should be a slight difference in the hexes that are visible. Now load that turn in your editor and change the vis up about 20 hexes or so. Even more visibility. Back to the editor and change the experience to 100+. Now you can see everything. Even up aunties knickkers, which is more then you wanted to see, I'm sure.
I consider this realistic, since not everybody sees the same. I'm so blind my seeing eye dog uses a cane.
