Tutorial - Helicopters

I'm playing tutorial 2 and I have a question re helicopters. It seems that if I check LOS for a helicopter it does not receive any benefit from being airborne. I would expect that because it flies above ground/trees etc that its LOS would be increased?

Also I was hoping to be able to check ...

Re: Game mechanics questions (standoff, relocate, resupply)

I'm a new player and I find this thread really interesting as I work on learning the game. I've been having a blast so far!

I also think the idea of an H-Hour feature would be a good addition.

I'm surprised to learn about the "Move Hasty" exploit. Is there a plan to fix this in a patch?

Selecting Units In A Stack

I must be missing something but when I try to select a unit in a stack of units its really frustrating. If I hover the stack sometimes I can get a pop-up to appear which shows all the units in the stack. But this is hit and miss. Is there a delay? It should be easier. Thanks

Yellow Difficulty and Complexity

I was browsing some of the stand-alone scenarios and some have Yellow Difficulty and Complexity bars and some have Green bars. Is there any significance to the color difference?

Manual Attack - Specify Weapons

<t> I'd like to issue a manual attack order on a target but assign weapons that are out of range at the time the order is given.<br/>
<br/>
For example intercept an aircraft but use cannons instead of missiles. When I give the manual attack order I'm not within range of the cannons. Is there a way ...

Strike Tutorials - How To Print Scenario Messages

I've been working through the Strike Tutorials. They are very good! I'd like to be able to print out the messages which the scenario designer presents as a reference. Is there a way to extract these so they can be printed??

RE: Strike Tutorial 1

Same question as Hzarr. Except in my case couldn't get the F16 to re-attack even with a manual attack order. All of the ammo was allocated to the target.

Ok thank you for the responses. I'll look into the WRA for small targets, as I said I'm on the steep part of the learning curve!

Barthheart I have the same problem. It says its added to the cart but there is no amount indicated in the total. Maybe us Canucks have to wait patiently in line for all the other folks to get their copy [:)]

Release Date?

I'm wondering if anyone would know what the planned release date is? I was told by a friend that it would be this year but I don't see anything indicating that on the product page.

Cheers

Noob Ques - Patrols

I have some units assigned to patrol an area and during the patrol I plot a course for one of the units that might take it out of the patrol area will the unit return to the patrol area and resume the patrol on its own after it reaches the reference point I sent it to?
