c3 Networks and Cover #1646

Closed AlphaSled closed 4 months ago

AlphaSled commented 4 years ago

Per the BattleMech Manual page 110, spotters for c3 networks no longer need line of sight to a target unit in order to spot. Megamek currently has the old rules implemented, where line of sight was a requirement.

Exact quote: "LOS: While ’Mechs must have LOS to a target to make an attack using a C3 system, the C3 system itself need not have LOS."

SimonLandmine commented 4 years ago

p111 has a diagram which clarifies more thoroughly. The attack range (other than for calculating variable damage or for the effect of minimum ranges) is calculated from the nearest networked unit to the target. Even if it doesn't have LOS. Seems counter-intuitive, but there you go ...

Actually, is there any chance of an option checkbox to retain the current functionality for this (range based on nearest unit with LOS)?

I wonder that it helps, but C3 in Total Warfare also says that C3 system does not needs LOS to be functional, by the errata.

And, if it gets fixed, can you also add #1433 as well?
