What ever happened to the spotting system?

Well,the spotting system may be tricky sometimes.Not often enough to be a real problem,though.

I've seen more often than not cases in which it's quite easy for the defender to hide.Actually,if you'll play long enough this might be a source of frustration :) The defenders will be under fire,they will be pinned or just cowering and won't be spotted by the firing unit anymore. Who,obviously,will stop firing.
I played CMx1 extensively but i must say the spotting system in CMx2 is definitely better.You'll just have to take into consideration a lot of variables. A veteran unit will spot better than a green one. A full squad will spot better than a 2 men scout unit. A rested unit will spot better than a tired unit. A squad who's standing still will spot better than a squad who's running. A crouched unit will spot better than a unit in the prone position and a unit standing up will spot better than a crouched one. I guess you got the picture ;) Last but not least the skill level at which the battle is played also counts.I recommend you play using Warrior rather than Veteran/Basic Training.
