Steel Panthers Filter Explained:

(I took the following from an email Walrus sent me, verbatim.)

You have to set a max armour value before you can set a minimum value.
This way you can make your weapon only attack units between a certain armour ratings. Say you only wanted to fire at MBTs, but you were not sure what the enemy was using, you could set the max armour at 150, and you would be sure to be above most MBTs frontal armour. Then you set the min value to exclude anything below, say 10. This means the unit would ignore armoured cars and lite armour with frontal armour values below 10.See...it's easy.
Then you set the range, just like the Y key but it is directly related to the type of target.
So you can set engagement ranges for armour 9having previously set the values for max and min), and then separately you can set a range for soft, AT-ATGM and infantry.
You can also toggle on or off your AAA weapons so that your unit will not fire at air units unless you want it too. So no more randomly giving away your position to a spotter, helo or fast mover when there was no realistic chance to kill it :-) Nice eh!

The there is the top part of the screen, a kind of "over watch" system.
Once you have set the main filter (in the mid/bottom part of the screen) you can then click on a hex on the map. That will set an OW point. You can use the RADIUS button to set the circle width and then there is a line of options (armour, soft, INF and ATGM) and you can switch them on and off depending on what you want to shoot at.

I use this feature two ways.
1. After setting your general engagement filter, you can use the OW spot to deal with a particular spot on the map where you may expect trouble and set you unit to fire at things that appear there and ignore the main filter when it does....so you can cover a gap or a wee LOS zone or something.
Be creative I guess.

2. This is what I normally do, especially on the defend and delay I guess. Set the OW spot on top of the unit you are filtering, that way you can set and engagement circle around the unit and get it to do close defense.
It is a nice feature to stop you getting mugged.

Say you had a medium tank and were trying to get a kill in the op-fire phase. Let's say you were targeting the enemy's medium armour but didn't want to give away your position to heavy or light armour.
You would set the max armour value lower than the number you know was the enemy heavy tank front armour, and the set the min value higher than the light armour and a/c etc. Now your guy will only shoot at units in that class of armour. Then you set the engagement range depending on penetration etc.
Then you set the other ranges to engage to deal with soft, ATGM etc. You may wish to engage ATGM from 10 hexes but infantry and soft only from 3 hexes.

Then set AAA off so you do not randomly shoot at passing aircraft.

Then to the OW spot. Set it on yourself and make it 3 hexes wide. Set it to engage armour only and then if some heavy or light tank get to 3 hexes, your guy will ignore the main filter and blast away according to the OW filter.

This now means the enemy can parade soft vehicle, infantry and planes in front of you, including shooting at you to try and get a reaction...and your guy will remain silent.
The moment a medium tank gets into range...bam! he's onto it.
But the enemy tries to get up close with some light tank that can penetrate you from 3 hexes...and as it enters the OW circle...Bam! It's history.

Hopefully that all made sense.

You need to do all the settings and then be very careful to SET (apply to this unit) then to the unit using the button at the bottom of the screen.
If you like the setting you can save it (there are three different save and recall buttons) and then recreate the setting for another unit with one slick...you then still have to APPLY them to the unit.
You need to set the OW for each unit separately unless you all want then to react to the same OW spot.
You can also apply the setting to all units in that formation without actually saving it to one of the three save spots.
