How does the LOS map work, and what do the different colors mean?
When you left click on a point in the map, you get a radiating pattern of lines, with different colors. The color code will tell you how much your tank would be exposed if it were placed at the point you clicked. Dark shade – Your tank cannot be seen from these regions (and your tank can’t see other tanks in these regions). It’s dead space White – is a good thing. You will appear in hull down defilade to other vehicles in these regions. Red shade – Danger! indicates that any observer in this region will see you fully exposed. If you think you have found a good battle position in the planning phase, you can use the LOS tool to verify your assumption. Furthermore, when hitting F1 after the left click, you will have a preview of the area (without any vehicles being rendered), so you can do some first hand recon of the ground. Hit F5 to go back to the map screen.
