(Answered) Vehicles shooting over level one
« on: 26 March 2023, 09:57:01 »
Are vehicles treated the same as mechs when shooting over level 1?  Say 5 hexes are in a row, a mech and vehicle on opposing ends with a level 1 in the middle (so one empty, blank hex between each and the level 1)  So the vehicle would be using the standard hit locations on the mech?

Thank you!

The mech is two levels high so they have standard LoS to each other as if the level 1 hex weren’t there.

Modifying your example:
If the vehicle were adjacent to the level 1 hex, neither unit would have LoS

If the mech were adjacent to the level 1 hex, it would receive partial cover

If both units were vehicles, neither would have LoS
