Bug or game's abstraction ?

I dont use melee much at all except in the editor at random times but im guessing they didnt react b/c Melee is supposed to be a Stealth attack, the Germans are all turned around, facing the Trench so they just plain didnt see you.....if you had Fog of War on and if you could see thier view they only saw the area in front of them and infantry in this game are pretty oblivious to thier surroundings so they saw thier buddy drop dead but im sure it looked like he just died, you didnt appear on the screen to them.

I know; I just tried it out of curiosity and I was sure that my sneaking soldier would detected at some point.

I tried this gamey tactic a second time and I clicked the German soldiers and I did see the red line showing their LOS and I understood then why they did not "see" me. They where not programed to "see" or "hear" what's behind them.

I am in the very last part of the tutorial and so far I really enjoy playing the game. If you do not use gamy tactics like exploiting some the particularities of this game - the way it was programmed - like this "blindness" ( which is mean for stealth missions) the game is challenging ,and very much hooking.

Thank you for answering.

Lolz this game is hooking and once you start messing around in the editor it gets even more hooking haha....ive spent hours just sitting in the editor just placing units, shooting them, messing with the map and testing out stuff. Its amusing haha.

Its pretty silly. You can clear whole trenches if your good enough using stealth.
