Hi Andy
Quite the reverse Im sure,
Ok there is a small chance you can identify a particular piece of on-board artillery if you string together a large number of unlikely 'ifs' and its a mortar and its close but unlike what Narwan says it has to be within your LOS. But this only happens rarely so wether bug or bug masquerading as feature not such a big deal.
But
To illustrate my point about smoke, Japs fighting Brits in Malaysa, entire board is Jungle, -Nobody- can see more than three of so hex's. Nevertheless as soon as the enemies onboard artillery opens up you can see each and every artillery piece's smoke signature and then allocate air or counterbatterie to take it out, hardly realistic methinks.
In the vast majority of cases on-board artilery smoke signatures wouldnt be visible, but they all always are, why?
When I brought up this subject previously it's been ignored rather than dicussed, other than that I cant recall it ever being a topic of discussion.
But Id be most happy to read these discussions you mention any chance of a link?
Best Regards Chuck.
