LOF Oddity (iPad)

Had the 88 in the centre take out the Sherman and Hellcat in the upper left of the pic. Shouldn't the armor have been hidden from the gun by the elevation and shadow of the hill? Or is LOS/LOF fairly loose when it comes to elevation differences?

Ok, I've mostly got a handle on how LOS and elevations work and haven't had too many nasty surprises lately. I just ran across this little bit of strangeness though:

As the Jumbo and the StuG are on the the same elevation, I'm unsure why I can't see and/or shoot at him? Any insight appreciated. :)

Hmmm - it certainly looks like it should be able to. Unless the tile the stugg is on isn't entirely a flat 'top of hill' tile. The hill logic is extremely complex, and we (and by we I mean Iain, who I shall blame knowing he's gone to bed) somewhat painted ourselves into a logic corner with what we wanted it to do. It does work 99% of the time, but sometimes these oddities happen :(.
