Bunker Firing Arcs

Tried searching with various keywords but couldn't find an answer.

The firing arc of a Bunker/Fortification is?
The 3 hexes in front?

It is the same as any other unit as far I can tell, just it cannot turn around.It should be about 60° IIRC.

The reason it's not written in the game guide is because it's so obvious we didn't see the need, right up there with "the sky is blue"

Place a bunker on any map but a nice flat one leaves no doubt.

Start the game.

Click on the bunker.

Click on any hex in front of the bunker.

The light area you see is it's firing arc and it will vary slightly depending on how the bunker is faced and that can be viewed after the bunker is placed but before the game starts as you change the direction it faces

PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME how someone who claims to have played .... " literally thousands of generated campaign battles in WW2 and MBT "....not know that ??

I didn't say I played literally thousands of generated campaign battles. I said I have generated literally thousands of campaign battles.

I never use bunkers myself so there is one good reason right there. I knew they had a fixed firing arc. But exactly what that arc was I didn't know and still don't since you just answered with the sarcastic reply and experiment description. However I will shortly know the answer after experimenting.
