RE: LOS increase in Towns
Well guys, you definitely took me up on the question.
1. As for BF, I would be willing to give a Bombardment unit the +1 and extra spotting distance from the buildings because though the weapons are at ground level, a spotter from that unit/platoon who is organic to that unit has direct LOS for the bombardment and is pretty much talking the guns onto a directly lay.
2. For Personal Weapons/INF/HMGs- that get the benefit of extended spotting as their weapons can be placed at those high levels in the buildings. (though, they never range too far to matter).
As far as 8.42 is concerned it does not restrict receiving the additional 6 hexes of spotting by unit type. So AS WRITTEN, an AFV can receive the extra 6 hexes of spotting and if it can spot the target, it has a LOS to the target, and therefore can fire on the target if it is within range (i.e. 14 hexes)...it may be a loophole that 4th ed addresses.
