New unit class- Counterbattery radar

Counterbattery is already modelled into the game; if you have a few unassigned arty units left when the enemy fires his arty, there's a chance your units will shell HIS units.

Plus, after onmap arty fires one or two missions you already have a "signal" (smoke)to locate them. So IMHO not a priority.

Well, I guess you're right. Even if you have one counterbattery radar you'll spot all the artillery fire on the map, so we can just assume that they're somwhere offmap.

I did try an experiment with counter battery radar units. To see if I could fudge one together to work.

I gave a unit a vision of 255. It Didn't work due to the black art of programing that the AI use's to spot arty units.

There is a thread on it, however I can't find it.
