Op-fire at hidden units

[Crossroads]

Thanks, I had a look and what happens is indeed there's an unspotted Rifle platoon in the hex a Soviet TD moves into, receiving Op Fire instead of the TD.

As you guys know it is normal that when multiple units in same hex, it is not given which unit receives the Op Fire, so what happened here was a normal procedure apart the fact the said Rifle unit was unspotted. It appears the Op Fire algorithm does not take into account if the unit is spotted or not. I checked but there should not have been any changes to neither the Op Fire mechanism nor Spotting mechanism in JTCS 2.x, so I'd assume this is a legacy feature although spotted only now.

Old bugs such as this one are still being found as we've learned with CS:ME, so that is a possible explanation here as well. We'll check this behavior in the new game titles to see what really takes place. Until that, please keep your eyes open and please post here again if anything fishy is found. It is appreciated!

Finally, I'd assume this is not something that is easily exploitable, although there is the Spotted icon in the units so it might be possible to recreate this with intent.

But as with spotted units too, one lessens the chance of the valuable unit being Op Fired by moving to an already occupied hex to perform the fire mission, so that has always been an option...

Sorry for not being able offer more on this one.
