Binocular icon - what's up with that? ...

[burroughs]

I see; that means my theory about being in the eye contact with an enemy element was correct since " ... if You have the enemy in range that means You are in range of the enemy ... ". However that part about being spotted by some high altitude air reconnaissance flights left me puzzled a bit: will the icon appear then too, meaning that a certain unit of mine is on on the enemy map visible either as a big grey question mark at best or a counter with the equipment & weapon type along with a number estimation?
Liebchen is right obviously;some things in the game system lack the reference to in the manual, being distinct to a careful wargamer, but I think that those instances are luckily few.

Thanks a lot, friends. Glory to the community.
