To be honest, I thought this was just a feature of the game.

It ***is*** a feature of the game.

A unit has broken LOS with the original unit that spotted it will "disapear". It *may* disapear becasue the game has determined it has found sufficient cover to do so OR the unit you are using to spot it has taken fire and is now face down in the weeds. It's hard to keep spotting the other guy under those conditions ( face in mud etc etc etc )

If *may* be possible to pick up the original unit with another one of yours ** IF ** the game determines it's not in good safe cover. However, if it's not moving and not shooting it's no different than if you advanced across a field and didn't see the enemy unit laying in wait for you on the other side ( and even if it IS shooting at you and you don't see it, it may be because now the game has determined you are too busy finding cover to spot properly.)

There are a lot of reason for units to "disapear" I haven't found one that would be called a bug yet
