I was playing Call to Arms, which is the mod I PR for, and I landed some snipers on this cliff thing. The enemy infantry are at the bottom of the cliff thing and my snipers couldn't target them. Next, I land some of the UK's mortar infantry up there. You figure, mortar round goes up, Newton's law brings it back down. Well, that didn't work either. So, I airlift some AS90's and LIMAWS' (projectile and missile artillery) up onto the cliff thing and I still can't shoot down!

WTF is wrong with Generals?! In Tiberian Sun, I placed my NOD artillery up on a ridge and the elevated position gave me the advantage. In RA2, I'd place my snipers up on a ridge and pick off infantry from a safe spot. The higher ground always rendered positives, why doesn't it in Generals? I know it's not a mod bug either, because I tried it with vanilla Generals.

Can this be changed?

i believe it can, i do remember recently seeing some code about lineof sight, may the location your infantry were in they could not see the enemy after the enemy go to close they fell out of this line of sight.

Well, that's crap. All he had to do was look straight down.... Bleh.

Hmm, I'm not really sure, but this one thime I had my Burton (different model and weapons) climb a cliff and had him snipe (yes thats right, he had a long range sniper) on infantry below. It worked, but this was on something like a small mountain and might have been his cliff locomotor that allowed him to shoot.
