Hidden units. What do you say about this?

[ComradeP]

C&C in all its shapes and sizes is heavily abstracted, and the player always has full knowledge of the state and position of his units.

As small units take less damage than larger units even well below the 125 men (equivalent) point, small units can take a long time to clear out. It has been said that such units would try to hide if they were reduced to a dozen or so men, but it can usually take an assault or two.

That, combined with most units being able to spot for the heavier artillery is one of the things I don't like about the hidden mechanic, as it encourages leaving small units behind to act as artillery spotters. It is unlikely those units, particularly Soviet units, would've had radios, but in the game there is no reduction in their effectiveness as spotters until they are out of command range.
