Matrix Games Forums

I've been wondering this for a while and can't see an answer in another thread so thought I'd ask! Why is FOW off by default? It seems there's a lot of work in the air engine, etc, on recon, but then I load a scenario and can see exactly where everything is and how how strong it is?

Default setup that corresponds to the recommanded setup to play the tutorials I guess.

Recon is not only about seeing it. Increased detection makes it easier to target. But otherwise game is quite different when FOW is on.
