Re: Fog of war
That is how I use the rename. I will take a M1A1 and rename to M1 or Abrams. Sure it may not fool most people but it doesnt give away the actual armor or armament at a quick glance (shoot and scoot). But most armor commanders and also all recon units can tell at a glance that that was an Abrams and not a Sherman, or even a Leopard. Maybe they can not tell that it was a M1A2 or have the mobility upgrades and such. I think that the tactic explained with the Nashorn is kinda cheap. But who knows what unit fired that 88mm round if you dont see the vehicle so maybe rename it an 88mm gun just before you fire and then move and rename the unit back. But completely renaming a unit to give false information is using the GAME mechanics for something it is not intended for. After all it is just a game use it to add to the game not cheapen it. What was really funny was the fact that I was Rightdeve's opponent when I saw the PzII icon and the name was Tiger. (he also renamed his Tiger to a PzII) Kinda obvious it wasnt.
