Realistic Line of Sight [RLoS]

This mod aims to make the Line of Sight (LoS) more realistic by decreasing/blocking line of sight through what would realistically obscure your vision.
Forests and treelines will now mask vision significantly, allowing for better and more realistic use of terrain for concealment and maneuver.


I've always felt that trees from forests and treelines weren't blocking vision enough in this game. Units can way too easily see through treelines and other objects that normally would mask your line of sight.
I feel that realism suffers due to this, resulting in being unable to properly maneuver your units through terrain like you would in real life.
As an irl infantryman myself, I prefer the realism of terrain-masks and the proper usage of terrain features for maneuvers, both in recon, assault and defense.
Micro-terrain is crucial for tactical movement, but is not properly simulated in basegame WARNO.

There are some "realism"-mods that includes adjustments to Line of Sight, but they also adjust a lot of other things, and I wanted a standalone mod. So here it is.

The result of this mod is as follows:

• In general, this mod now gives you more freedom of movement and maneuver-opportunities in terrain.
  
• Treelines now blocks line of sight, making treelines much more useful and functions as tactically viable positions and concealment for movements. (There are still gaps in treelines)
  
• Line of sight in forests is now decreased, significantly limiting how far you can see into a forest from the outside, as well as from inside-out.
  
• If terrain is properly utilised in tactical movement, your units will no longer get eliminated by a unit that realistically wouldn't have line of sight to your unit.
  
• Again, if terrain is properly utilised, you should now better be able to advance closer to the enemy positions before both sides spot each other, which is especially realistic for infantry combat, making close combat more frequent now.
  
• Terrain now feels more realistic and matters more. The worth of terrain-objects have increased.

Special thanks to ShadowofChernobyl for helping me make this mod, by sharing what he did to adjust LoS in his mod, which can be found here.

As of now, this mod has the same LoS values as his mod, but that may be prone to change in the future, if I feel adjustments needs to be made.

The attached images had to be compressed to fit Steam's limits, hence the drop in quality.
The thumbnail is also just a placeholder and will likely get changed later.
