Re: Units Taking Cover
The more enemy with "eyes on" a unit, then the more chance one of them will re-spot it id it breaks LOS. Especially if those are close, experienced, unsuppressed etc - i.e. all the other things that help normal spotting.
Think of the times you have fired on a unit and got the takes cover message. Sometimes the unit goes away, and at other times it may disappear and then reappear as part of the reaction to fire process.
The c key just lets you use the reaction to fire process that has always been there for all grunts that get fired on.
Whether or not expending the MP is worthwhile, you will have to learn from experience. The exact workings of our algorithms dont get published.
Hint: attempting to take cover at 1 hex distance from an enemy elite, unsuppressed and stationary unit that is facing you is unlikely to end well... at 400m, it will be rather more likely.
