Units can sometimes fire through buildings

[PoorOldSpike]

Here my Marder fired smack through a house, hitting the Sherman parked on the other side. (the Sher nearest the house)
The Marder couldn't see the other Sherman because it wasn't as close to the house as its mate
At least in such situations the target will have LOS too, and begin returning fire if he's still alive.. (but the Sher was killed with this first shot)
Conclusion- if you get too close to a building, the enemy might see you through the windows

And here Lord Bane's gun and my Shermans shells fly through the corner of a house.
The moral- never assume buildings will give you guaranteed cover..

Units can sometimes fire through corner intersections..

That is being gamey.:ooh:

[PoorOldSpike]

I only found out about the intersections by accident when I noticed units shooting at each other during a game. Of course, if anybody thinks it's unrealistic, just cancel your units target line..:)

More blocking tests-
I plonked 4 Sherms behind a house, then logged which ones the panzer could see.
He could only see this one.
(and note in the inset that it could see him back)

Below -Confirmation that the panzers LOS to the other 3 Shers was blocked, and they couldn'r see him back either.
Conclusion -Once again we see that buildings aren't always guaranteed to block LOS.
