Some Tool wich tells what hexes you can see from a selected hex would be good for that, click a hex, then click the "tool", Don, andy, ideas for you?

There is one. Select the unit. Right click in front of that unit. It will tell you what it can see.

@troopie was that a joke?

Since we're talking about LOS, why do sometimes i can see through wood hexes?or see 1 hex further into woods?even when i'm on the same height.

Because some woods hexes are less dense than others & theres no way of telling.
Becomes even more of a mare with vision aids in MBT as it should getting units into trouble.
Finding the LOS is not what you expected is all part of the game go for the obvious spot or for safety whatever risk the dodgy one only to find its no good. Makes the game better your looking at the map or that hill & decide should be able to see ... only to discover you cant. grrrr
WW2 not so bad modern & ATGMs hes gone past by the time your in position to fire
Makes you appreciate the speed of vehicles so you can relocate or try the adjacent one.

Select the unit, press the "Unit View" button - right under the "Preferences" button.

Now if what you want is click any empty hex and display hexes visible from that - I have to disagree. That's far too much information imho.

I agree, maps should have some mystery, until your in the location and looking around.

I sometimes have to scout out good overwatch locations, for ATk guns and HMGs, by sending jeeps, scouts etc. to likely spots. It's all part of the challenge.

Cross,

The link to the blitz must be broken(or the site is down)because I can't get it to take me to your sounds mode download. Any other way I get to the download?

Yes, the Blitz site has been down yesterday and today. I'll send you a PM with a direct link where you download the sound mod.

Agree. IRL you might look at a map and think that you found a nice observation post, but then you arrive there and will finsd thast way there is a treeline not included in the map that blocks your LOS or there are new buildings... etc.
