Detection Level in Tooltip

Post by Wiedrock »

I can't find the Detection Level being shown in the Tooltip, not with normal Map view or with Tactical Recon map view. How to get is to show up?
Living Manual 1.27, p.202 wrote:10.2.2. Detection Levels and Combat
A higher detection level will increase the effectiveness of ground and air combat against that unit. The hex pop-up text will display detection levels for on-map units, to include construction support units and Anti-aircraft support units attached to cities.
Note this will occur even if FOW is turned off. In other words you can see the unit on the map but the scope to be surprised in combat, due to a low detection level, remains.
Attached an exampleon how it looks in WITW and currently in WITE2.

We removed it from the game 4 years ago, before release. I don't remember why we decided to remove it, but our task list log indicates the change was intentional. Probably thought in the case of FOW, it was giving away too much info. The manual didn't catch this change from WitW.
