As WinSP* games are played in 2D it's tedious to check 2km if there's a small hill between my potential position and a target.
In the interest of realism I'd prefer such a tool didn't exist.

We already have far more accurate maps and info than most WW2 commanders could dream of. If I want to know if a hill has good LOS I should study the map or send a scout.

I appreciate the depth of a game where I've wasted time scouting out hills, or have had to shift guns because the position didn't work out because I misread the map.
