Thank you for your response Mobhack.
I see, it is a game and not a simulation, and has many God problems, but I think this one has an easy fix, not requiring reworking the game.
I brought this up because from first hand accounts it seems the worst problem a soldier faces is often identifying where fire comes from.
But with the range information and the shooting graphic for direction the Soldier can easily work out where fire comes form.
Then just paste that position with artillery or Z fire roll up to it and destroy whatever it was.
This makes it impossible for a defender to play a stealthy game.
I know you know all this but I say this to explain my thinking.
So maybe just the range data can be removed from the global messages?
That would create the spotting difficulty and make the game a little less God like?
If you want to know the range then the T for Target button gives that information but only for spotted units, not unspotted as it should be?
I dont think this modest change would cause any confusion for your civilian players?
