Vision & Detection
Everything you can't see is hidden by sensors, not map tiles. This chapter covers what fog of war actually hides, the detection ladder from blip to fire-control lock, and everything that shrinks, grows, or forces a read.

The Detection Ladder
Radar contact → detected → identified → tracked.

Formation protection vs. area degradation — radar only.

Combat Forces a Reveal
Fighting someone shows them to you — with one exception.

Cueing Networks & Tracking
Why Tracked needs a cue and a lock at the same time.

Submarines & Depth
Surfaced, periscope, submerged — what still sees you.

Deployable Field Radar
Coverage only while deployed; five minutes each way.
