[0.43.2-git : Bug] Turret At Elevation 0 Height 3 Building Can Fire At Passing Aero

[SirMegaV]

Turret at elevation 0 in the middle of a height 3 building can fire at a passing aero. Yes, I deployed on elevation 0 due to finger-brain coordination issue. Save game attached. Load save game, turn and aim hex 3119, press fire.

I feel like, while this may be a little goofy logically, it isn't against the rules. Do you have a reason to believe this is against the rule? Well, I'm imaging a single hex height 3 building, and not a multi-hex complex; I haven't had time to look at the saved game yet.

Generally, you don't consider the terrain that the attacking unit is in, so that wouldn't factor into the LoS calculations.

That turret could be on the back patio, or the shorter roof of a building wing in the same hex.

Not single hex building. It's a huge multi hex and its surrounded all sides. Unless the building is open top otherwise it can't shoot at the aero. :)

Again, this is based on logic, but not necessarily rules. I think the rules say something about how intervening terrain isn't applied to LoS computations for ground-to-air attacks. This seems logical, until you consider a unit inside of a building...

I will leave it to you guys to hammer out the rules.

[Question2]

I have noticed that a unit on the ground floor of a building can also fire on units on the roof of the same building. E.G. BA on level 0 can fire on a mech that is on the roof of the same building just fine. Not sure if this is intended, but its not just a ground to air thing.
