Units Taking Cover

[Mobhack]

An attempt at taking cover gives a unit a chance of no longer being spotted.

Naturally, you don't know if the attempt had any effect unless the enemy no longer fire on you.

So, if the unit went in cover (but we don't know), if we ask again to take cover, a missed attempt will remove this unknown cover? (if nobody shoot at us, then no longer move? if ain't broken, don't fix it)

There is no magic flag that you can look at to see if the attempt worked or not. Real troops dont have this, nor do you. But if the enemy fire on you in thier turn, or if you move then it probably did not work (or a fresh spotting roll by the opponent unmasked you again).

Basically - the further away you are then the more chance of it working. Chances at 50m are rather unlikely, 1000m more probable. The smaller your unit size is helps, as does experience, being in cover etc.

You could also try taking cover several times, if you are paranoid and have the spare MP..

So I think you answer here my question: A failed added attempt won't brake a successful previous.

If an MG42 is within sight, an opposing squad just might insist on having the "C" key pressed an unlimited number of times on its behalf.
