Arcs of fire

I like the ability in the planning map to set arcs of fire for your platoons. The more I get into SABOW, the more I appreciate that its command interface seems to let me do a lot of the things you would want to do, if you were really commanding troops in the field. And setting arcs of fire is one of them. It is like SABOW is designed to
work
the way an army officer is trained to
think
. This is an impressive achievement from a small independent developer.
One thing I don't like though is that arcs of fire are marked out in a rather opaque blue, which makes it difficult to see map features underneath - especially where arcs of fire from more than one unit overlap - and I like to
overlap
my arcs of fire, not just
interlock
them. I can't find a way of turning on and off their display.
Could you consider the following please:
- create a way to toggle off and on the display of arcs of fire (or explain how we can do that now, if I have missed that) - like tie them to the briefing display, so when we turn
that
off, they are turned off, too. As if they were on the same 'talc' (as we used to call transparent overlays, on a map); and
- make the display of arcs of fire a lighter, more see-through colour, so that we can see what is under them, on the map?

I don't use them because I am afraid an unit can ignore an enemy coming from another direction.

AFAIK, it only sets fire and observation priority for the selected area. In addition, it works as the area of ambush (open fire) if the units are told to hold fire. I only use it selectively in special situations like in the latter case.

OK, I will try this feature on SABOW and GTOS soon

I agree, there should be a way to toggle the arcs on/off, in both games.
