Default Re: When Does the AI Give Up???

Arty units that are firing indirectly can become spotted by themselves when they've been firing for a bit.
Think of it like this; your spotters see some smoke or flashes (also represented by the smoke) in the distance at a certain spot. A bit later mortar rounds fall. It doesn't take them long to notice that everytime they see the flashes at that direction a bit later those mortar rounds land. Some smart guy figures out they're 81mm's and by the time difference between the flashes nad the arrival he figures out the distance. Presto, 'spotted' arty unit on the screen.
