Spotting in 8.2?

[Adamo]

I'm currently playing version 8.2 and I want to tweak units' spotting ability. From what I understand, other versions of the game (H2H, etc) have better spotting settings, but I want to stick with version 8.2 (due to an opponent's wishes).

What settings in preferences can I adjust to make spotting a little more realistic? I'm finding that a sniper in a woods hex is able to be spotted by a heavy tank from about 600 yards (slightly exaggerated). Should I adjust the 'searching' option? Or, maybe 'Limited Intel'?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Searching pref is the spotting setting. Lowering it to 70-80% makes infantry more difficult to see, especially if they don't move.
