Arc of fire (not that it matters)

[Athos1660]

A can shoot at B, but not at C :
(Vanilla game + undo mod)








As a side note, wondering if, in the FoG2 series and P&S, it has ever been considered to make disrupted units less effective than steady ones when charging from the rear or flank, as they actually are when charging head-on. For example, in Vanilla P&S, troops may not drop a cohesion level if charged in flank or rear by a disrupted unit and the overall net Impact POA could be < 200.

They already are less effective, because although their POA isn't affected, they have a 26% malus.

As to the arc of fire thing, is it the same in vanilla?

[Athos1660]

Much less effective than currently is what I actually meant. May have been another way to nerf the effect of charges from the rear or flank of P&S (instead of the distinction between engaged targets and unengaged ones used in the FoG2 series).

As to the arc of fire thing, is it the same in vanilla?

If you mean 'Is the code of arc of fire the same in the mod as in vanilla ?" : I think so.
If you mean "Does it also happen when playing this very battle in vanilla ?" : I don't know. I can't test. Have no usable save.
If you mean "Have you ever noticed it when playing vanilla ?" : No.
