Subunit Inspector Identifies Unspotted Contacts

[rykirk]

Currently playing a game where I had an enemy artillery unit pop up as 'radar contact only' after they fired. Realized that if I right click on them on the map I can open the subunit inspector and identify the specific vehicle and numbers. Surely this is not functioning as intended, that info should be hidden right?

Could you please check the settings and see if you have the Show unit details and information checked for the enemy side?

I'm not seeing this setting, can you be more specific? It's a pbem+++ game that I joined, I was not the creator. If that matters.

The Difficulty Settings are noted under the Available Challenges window for a PBEM game. In this case, Browse Spotted Enemy Units should be No/No

Is there no way to see them for a game in progress?

I have verified that this setting is ON. I still don't think its operating as intended tho, since the counter shows a unidentified on the map and its only a radar contact, it's not 'spotted' and being able to see strength and identify the platform seems wrong.

If the setting is on, then any unit "seen" on the map can have its details shown. Turning this setting off will do what you are asking and hide exact information.
