Default Re: ATGM Units

As a matter of fact, a few years back I tried calculating the "best LOS" as a little test of deploying units, in the defence. It added about 5 minutes to the AI deploy time for a not too large force, and tended to put the stuff in "very obvious" places like all the AAA on the top of the only hill in the defended area etc..

So basically - not much advantage over the random placement the AI uses ATM, and less unpredictability for someone who did a little terrain analysis.

However - I have some ideas for experiments in generating a better AI defence using an LOS map. Will see if I get the time this year.
