While we are at night combat... any plans to include illuminating rounds for artillery units? I always was under the impression that the russians would use "shitloads" of these

There is the possibility to display LOS and LOF from a given HEX/unit on the map. While i can understand that it is possible to have LOS without LOF i encountered situation where i had no LOS to a hex but a LOF. Is this intentional?

<t> My scouts again and again hit into unspotted minefield regardless of if i use deliberate or hasty movement. What is the best way to spot mines before things hit the fan?<br/>
<br/>
The manual states that scout-units do have special abilities like better spotting or beeing more stealthy. How is ...

Is there any way to stop the active submitting of the ad-units? I find it a bit strange, for example playing the tutorial, that its so easy to detect radar equipped units with high precision. Is is so easy to take them out with artillery since one always knows where it is.

What is the resolution of the elevations in GE?

Edit - Wodin, in not sure if you realize it, but real world values are in fact used in game. The 'max range', although slightly off in some cases, are in the ball park. it is just the'effective range' that were short (explained by CD)

Ive to say that this sounds very counterintuitive.

<t> I iust want to contribute to this topic.<br/>

Studies of the geografic institute of the german armed forced which took place around 1980 came to the following conclusion:<br/>
<br/>
55% of all LOS distances would lie at under 500m<br/>
45% would be over 500m<br/>
only 17% of all LOS ...

<t> Mortar fire is still much to responsive in indirect fire mode. Needing only ~30 seconds for receiving the fire mission, do the target calculation, shooting spotting rounds, doing corrections and finaly going to FFE is rediculously quick. This gives the target only a couple of seconds to reacts ...

<t> The problem is that the AI cant handle force selection properly. Does it even alter the forces on different terrains at all?<br/>
<br/>
Knowing the exact enemy force when even looking at the campaign map is some form of emersion killer. One can alwaysperfectly match the AIs forces or i have to ...

One thing i never understood from the earliest Close Combat times: Why is it possible to A)see the enemy disposition in the force select screen and why is it allowed to B)Change the enemy forces?

Ahh.... now i understand. Thx for you´re explanations.

But one more point: So the doctrine setting has just an impact on the not spended "flight-time" after the normal turn? Or does it also influence if the aircraft do airsupport during the normal moving turn?

But how to trade within the missions-types? If i change Airfield attack down to 10. What is the influence of this on ground attack, ground support and so on.

Simply: What should i doo if i think that ground attack is the most important?

<r> Would anyone from the officials pls give us some examples about what happens if we change the doctrine settings? While i´ve understood most off the manual the air doctrine part is still a little mirracle for me.<br/>

Did not find anthing related to that topic. Are there any kind off river-crossing/bridges available which reduce the MP usage?

What exaxtly are the modifiers for the different terrains? Is there a special defense bonus in urban/city areas? How about woods?

Thx guys for the awnsers...

If anyone is interested in the map, grab it from my webspace:
