Can Spotting (or Any Ratings) Be Modified?

Close Combat: Panthers in the Fog is the first new release (not a re-make of a previous games) in years in the critically acclaimed Close Combat series. It details the desperate German counter-attack at Mortain, the last chance of the Wehrmacht to stave off defeat in Normandy. Can you match the tenacity of the American defenders of Hill 314? Or can you succeed where the Panzers failed, driving through to the sea and changing history? Improved 32-bit graphics and the ability to control more squads than ever bring the Close Combat engine to a new level.

Can Spotting (or Any Ratings) Be Modified?

Post by asfhgwt »

Haven't played PitF yet, but in all the other CC games I've played the AI spotting is practically infallible. I could have a squad in woods 80m to the rear of an enemy tank, and as soon as I try to cross the road, the tank spots me, turns and blasts away. Even an ambushing unit in a building is automatically spotted by a nearby enemy unit and blown away... and I don't think the soldiers are just sitting up, staring out the windows....

Is there a setting that can modify the AI's spotting ability?

Thx.

Spotting itself cannot be modified by consumers AFAIK, but you can toy with the cover and hindrance values in the elements files In PITF. Use the workdbook to help yourself with what the columns mean.
