Question about 101st

There needs to be some indication (or at least a chance for some indication) as to where enemy fire is coming from. Even if the information was very general like near, far, north, west, sonething like that. This information could even be sometimes inaccurate to model realistic battlefield conditions, but it seems that my soldiers would at least have a chance to know where fire is coming from.

When the spotting problem is coupled with the problem of not knowing where fire is coming from you can end up with an (unrealistic) mess. I had a German lying on the floor of a house take out two soldiers in the same room with him over the course of multiple turns. Even if he was lying under the bed, I think the third soldier would at least know that someone was shooting at them from INSIDE THE ROOM.

Hi Gizah,

I had concerns about spotting also, but my main beef was that the night spotting was highly unrealistic because there were no muzzle flashes or detection by sound. Therefore a player had no idea where the enemy is in relation to his own troops. Your troops might as well return fire straigh up in the air.

Anyway, here is the link to the previous thread:
