I don't want to be a apin in the ass, but i havn't posted in a while, so i just want to remind you i havn't lost interest. When it's convenient for you to dig up those formulae, i'll still have a use for them :)

I've dug up some of my notes, but I don't really have the time to go into lots of details. Hope this helps;

hexes seen=range/(km/hex) round up
spotting loss = str/(hexes seen+1)
first hex str=str
next hex str = previous hex str - spotting loss

So a spot range 77 and str of 200 on a 16km/hex map would see units as follows;

(These are all = or <)

Own hex; stealth 200
1 away; stealth 166
2 away; stealth 133
3 away; stealth 100
4 away; stealth 66
5 away; stealth 33
6 away; Can't see

if i understand correctly, it would mean that an unit with a Spotting Strength value higher than another could detect ennemies before the other?

for exemple, the SAMP/T-30, thanks to it's spotting strength double higher, will see ennemies before the S-400 Triumf even if the Triumf have a longer spotting range but a lower spotting strength, correct?

in the affirmative, i'm gonna love the "sprunits" file! :D

Yes, and for SR2020 there are two spotting types so we can further refine this.
