Unit line of site with hills and trees

[Grizwald714]

I was wondering if hills actually do effect line of site. Because according to the line of sight tool doesn't seem to take elevation into account. So I was wondering if anyone knows because I'm hesitant to put my machine gun or at gun in a tree line on a hill were it looks should have line of site but according to the line of sight tool the orchard below the hill is blocking the view. I read in the def diary that units can see over tree lines if they have elevation so is the line of sight tool wrong and I am relying it to much or does evelvation not effect anything.

Thanks for the help

Its seems that the line of sight tool is not always correct with elevation but the hill does work. So placing AT in the treeline on the hillside looked like it was definitely a great help in my games yesterday.

I have noticed this as well. The site tool is not taking into account elevation. I have also placed units on top of hills and they dont seem to take advantage. Will test this more tonight.

Yeah, I got used to rely on the LOS tool so much, that now I feel lost on Mont Ormel.

Yeah. Height curves would be good. Big change though if it isn´t in production already. Something similar to this
