View Full Version : Tree Height for LOS

I setup a small map and used various elevations to determine approximately how tall the tree were in cmbb. I constructed a wide trench with 0 height bottom and varied the top of slope equally. The ditch bottom was 100m wide and units on the top of slope over 20m from each edge.
This is what I've concluded: </font> Tall Pines reach up to around 15m +/-</font> Woods and scattered trees are about 7 1/2m high</font> LOS can be traced over trees (except pines) through the second floors of buildings.

I've done a search for anything else concrete, and here are some interesting threads we may not have seen or have forgotten:

Thanks for the research. I didn't know that tall pines blocked line of sight from second story builings. Good to know.
