The current version of BA (v2.10) shows a red 'targeting triangle' over my units, during my movement turn, if I move that unit into the firing range of an opponent's unit (in MP, not sure about in SP).
Effectively, BA is warning me, "you could be shot at, if you stay where you are now". And it's a darned useful signal to me, to get the heck out of there!! But it's not entirely realistic that I get so helpfully advised of my enemy's carefully planned ambushes.
Is there a way to switch off the red targeting triangle?
I'd like to keep it to show me when there are enemy units that I can fire at, during my turn. But I don't want it to show me when I've put myself somewhere where I can be fired at by a hidden enemy unit. It makes ambushes very hard to execute...

Re: Disabling the red targeting triangle during opponent's t
Asked this ages ago... but nobody seemed to know how to solve it... Raising the question again just in case...
Does anybody know if the code that calls the red triangle animation is in a script .BSF? Or in BA's non-accessible core?

I totally agree. It would be great if the red triangle could be switched off.

Re: Disabling the red targeting triangle during opponent's t
It does seem to be a bug for sure. It's not something that can be changed via script. I will add it to our fixlist.
Cheers

Re: Disabling the red targeting triangle during opponent's t
This is not something that can be changed with a bsf change.
A change was made to address this for the next update, if you are participating in the Rommel in Normandy beta you can verify the new behaviour.
