LOS frustation & other bugs playing germans - Storm in the East Tournament - Round 1

[PoorOldSpike]

...But a moving tank or HT 200 metres away coming at you over open clear grass how can you possibly not see it when 10 guys staring at them. These are the RT bugs lol..

I've got a theory that BS/RT spotting mechanics might give too much weight to a units frontal arc view, meaning it'll tend to spot anything straight in front of it (its sweet spot) fairly quick, but will be almost blind as a bat in its side and rear arcs.
Also perhaps its front arc sweet spot is too narrow.
The cure (if one is possible) is for a new patch addressing the issue by increasing units spotting abilities across the board.
In the meantime all we can do is keep our units pointing smack at the enemy and hope we see him before he sees us.

From RT paper Manual page 51 (page 52 in BS paper Manual):-
"Facing matters! It matters for both infantry as well as vehicles and greatly increases a units awareness and spotting abilities in the direction it is facing.
CM simulates the natural human behaviour to 'look around' the battlefield (which includes a higher attention to the front, less to the sides, and even less towards the back) for both infantry as well as each individual crew position on a vehicle or tank!"
