Default Re: 4.0

Sorry Don, I forgot to mention that the proposed feature (a straight red line from the firing unit to the target, identical to the red line apearing when selecting "target" key) would appear during the AIīs turn when playing the AI or during PBEM replays when playing another human, makes sense now?

The gameplay benefit is obvious (to me at least): to know with absolute certainty wich unit (enemy or friendly opfire) is firing and which is itīs target. Many times I donīt know exactly which unit is firing when itīs not my turn, I know from the dialogs that certain tank is firing at certain Mech platoon with certain weapon for example, but when thereīs a bunch of the same type of tanks and Mechinf platoons near of each other, it could get tricky to know what is happening, specially if you like to see the replays from a zoomed out view.

I think a feature like this could improve the game since it translates into better info gathering, which is esential when it comes to wargames IMHO.

Keep Cool
Roberto
