Tip of the Day
TroubleMaker:
Important tip:
You CAN NOT shoot over the head of the soldier CROUCHING in front of you: he blocks your line of fire.
legend:
SS - standing soldier
CS - crouching soldier
^ - direction of soldier's look
tt - target

SS can't shoot target because CS blocks him. It's not good: I've used that tactics in different games: :EU, :AM, :Apoc, where I placed my squad members in 2-3 lines: farthest line is standing, second line is crouching-kneeling, closest to enemy - laid down. So I could have 2-3 shots simultaneously from one point. Now I must move one of soldiers to left-right in order to deblock or to become deblocked. :(
nemchenk:
I've done this. I believe it depends on exactly which way your soldiers are facing etc. You can see the fire line turn red if the shot is impossible, but it is not *always* impossible.
TroubleMaker:
I know about color changes of targeting line, but it does not make sense in this case: I still wandering why I can't shoot over other soldier's head, while he does not really block the way for my bullets.
Pretend:
I agree that it was disappointing you couldn't shoot over crouched teammate.
However, realistically thinking.. you would give your teammate permanent ear damage if you'd shoot a loud gun next to his head. :)
