Years ago, we had a thread discussing placing troops within the building such that the building provides some "cover" as well as elevated LOS. I seem to recall, the code was in such a mess (we used to call it "spaghetti code") that it was deemed to difficult or not worth the effort at that time.

Smokes, lower buildings, lower terrain elevations, and trees, all can be overcome when climbing such high rise buildings. I have tested it in two PBEM with these buildings.

Interesting ideas to increase the LOS, especially useful in Urban Operations (UO) scenarios. I envision scouts and FOOs placed on high buildings and snipers as well.
