The Fog Of War
« on: September 11, 2009, 08:11:11 AM »
Where is it?

It would be cool if during a battle the dust, smoke, and debre from the fighting started to affect visibility.  The more bombs that blow up, the more tanks move around, the more airplanes that go down in flames the worse the fog of war would get.  Now for all you pessimistic folks I am not talking a zero visibility environment, just a little smoke and dust to spice it up.  I would be cool to see smoke rolling off a town and dust clouds from incoming tanks.

"Fog of war" is more a figurative than literal.

Of course the problem would be the same like ground clutter: Turn down/off fog of war and you can see the tank hiding behind it. Unless the recent version fixed this....

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Nice idea, but many people are having trouble with fire/smoke/clouds the way it is.  Adding this feature would only add to their problems while not adding any real benefit to gameplay.

I think it would be pretty cool, someone would have to scout it out, and after 30-45 minutes, fog comes back, and you can't see any bases or dar bars...etc.
