[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 105186, member: 8"] Defilade is the area in the “shadow" of a hill that you cannot get a bullet to. It is also the back side of a ridge. You will be only be able to see and hit things on the front side of the ridge. When you are in the Fire Direction Center of an artillery unit you have to know when to use high angle fire to lob them in over a mountain or ridgeline like a mortar and when to use regular angle fire. If you are in the infantry and they tell you that it will be high angle fire you pretty much have to decide whether you want to die by enemy fire or friendly fire because the stuff is really inaccurate In the picture you used there are two ridges that “may” be in the way of the bullets. I have marked them in yellow. The “protected shadow area" I have circled in blue. You will need to check the elevation of the shooting position, the elevation of the ridges and the elevation of the target and see if you have line of sight. Graph paper and a ruler is the way I know how to do it but I am sure there is a way to do it one the computer and I think it has something to do with “view” and “rotate”.
