What I mean is that if an enemy is spotted by say air OP (or just standard artillery OP on high ground) you might have a good idea of numbers and location but not much indication of fatigue, morale, unit designation etc. However ...

<t> Another neat feature would be to record the source and time (and perhaps range) of a spotting/intelligence report so that when you look at an enemy unit it might say in the details:<br/>

"spotted 10:51 by E Coy 502 PIR, range 100 metres"<br/>
"spotted 12:24 by 651 air OP, range 1 km"<br ...

Well no one is going to argue with that. I think though you would need to read the posts in a little more detail if you wanted to make a more penetrating contribution to ...

<t> Am not quite sure of your main intention - Surely in reality friendly fire *did* occur (whatever system was adopted) and so friendly fire would be a *good* addition (at some stage when the developers have time to develop the air model further) and would increase the realism of the simulation ...

Good point you are probably right that free hunting of unspotted units nearby should not normally be allowed especially for something like Market Garden where the air support can have no idea where the troops might be and thanks for the reference - Is interesting subject.<br ...
