Unit attacks without intel

Postby alegnagyobbkiraj » 05 Aug 2015, 16:32

Triad shoots other triad without apparent intel. Radar intel is given, but the triad which is getting built and being shoot at is under the protection of a stealth generator. I watched the replay and could not find any reason to think it should work this way :) In the example given below there are two triads but it could be possible with other units as well I suppose.

Edit: sorry, it's about 8.30 on right side :roll:

It's been notified in another post that stealth generators' radius may not be as big as showed in the ring. I haven't watched the replay but if the Triad was being built in the very limit of the radius, that could be the reason for this issue.

I didnt download the replay cos I use a slightly different FA version,

but could it be that your stealthed building has already been revealed once by vision? Buildings revealed by vision 'permanently' lose their stealth, even if they are still under a stealth field. Mobile units can go back into hiding though. Just guessing without watching the replay.

It was strange because I did not build it that much on the perimeter of the radius for one and for another from my opponent's pov there was absolutely nothing, no radar blips no nothing. The pd just targeted and started shooting on a spot where was nothing :D

I got it. Your opponent anticipated it and put the triad on attack ground. I still didn't watch the replay though.

Yeah, i saw it. No radar blips or vision/omni. Could it be anything related to the building being under construction?

angus' suspicion is correct. The issue here is probably the reduced stealth generator effectiveness.
Look at the previous raised post.

The triad was likely constructed in the stealth gen dead zone, contributing to it not being protected during that game.
