Hidden units

[Strela]

I had another situation I didn't quite understand: As the sun rose (from a dawn turn to a normal turn, visibility increased from 2 to 4 hexes), I was immediately able to spot an enemy vehicle and gun unit positioned deployed in a village + bunker hex. I had the first turn, so they had no chance to fire at me yet (as I was the first to have the increased visibility). I found this odd, since village has a height of 3 so both should have remained concealed?

If the description is not clear, I can upload a video (I'm recording a Let's Play of the match).

Can it be that units who are not given any opportunity fire settings don't even "try" to conceal themselves and are thus automatically spotted?

Hi there,

I had a quick look and created a test scenario with exactly the conditions you called out and both units remained hidden. I assume you had AI turned on etc.

Can you tell me which scenario and I can have a closer look.

Thanks,

Here is a video to show the two situations I was wondering about:

PS: I also noticed that the second unit I point out in the first part of the video is in "industrial" terrain, not in clear terrain. So here, too, it seems strange to me that the unit was revealed to me.

Hi there,

i have recreated the situation you have seen. I am going to get Berto to look over this, but my guess is that the program is using the 'base' visibility which is 4, before it is halved to 2 for dawn. You would have moved the guns forward in turns 1 & 2, and the hexes that you highlighted were in the 'base' visual range in those turns.

This is obviously a bug.

Thanks,

David
