Default Re: LOS difficulty

It actually also takes into account the height of the vehicle doing the looking.

You can get a good idea what you will be able to see using the "LOS" tool. Just right-click on the unit and select "LOS". Sometimes terrain is not nearly as flat as it looks. Small, 5 meter ridges in the terrain may not show up on the map, but they are there, and will hide a vehicle (spoken from hard experience at the NTC).
