Message text Dear pilots,
While working on the observer routines, some questions came out.
Open this image in a different window so you can watch it while reading below: http://www.youplay.it/play/images/observer.gif target='_blank'>http://www.youplay.it/play/images/observer.gif
In this ‘unrealistic’ situation the Halberstadt in the upper left corner have all the enemies in the rear arc and this conditions apply:
1. Observer cannot fire at plane A because it is in the hex immediately behind the aircraft
2. Observer will fire at all planes with deflection except for plane B. Only planes in position B and C can have no deflection.
Now the questions, all about visibility:
1. Can the observer fire at plane B ? Will plane A hide plane B ? Is plane C a possible target ?
2. Is E hidden by B or D ? If this is the case, what if only plane B or D are in their position ?
Following the rules, only planes that are directly hidden by another plane are not visible to the observer thus, in this case, in my opinion, all planes are possible target, except plane A (blind hex) and C (hidden by B). The plane hiding is very important when friendly planes are nearer than enemy planes possibly hiding enemies.
About the scoring, the points scored by the observer will be added to the points scored by the pilot.
Have fun,
your Webmasters
