Description (last modified by )
The altitude bonus affects only firing range, not vision range, leading to strange situations where towers and outposts don't see as far as they could fire. screenshot : http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1400797438.png

Replying to sanderd17:
Setting the milestone to the next release is only when you have a patch ready.
Sorry. I'll know it for next time. :)
I'm not even sure this should be implemented. Vision doesn't depend on altitude, it depends on obstructions (i.e. I can see the valley from the mountain, but I can also see the mountain from the valley). And calculating obstructions for vision would be very costly (so cause more lag).
But there are some RTS where the vision is determined by obstruction. I think it's the case in Warzone. How do they do ?

Move tickets to Simulation as UI & Simulation got some sub components.
