I assume some misconception here. As I understand the problem is not about vision of particular units but about how they acting on the task:

On the given tactical S&D order instead of aggressively searching and destroying enlisted targets on location they require a babysitting and comical level of micromanagement:

" - Oh, Boss I cant see anyone here!

- Turn your head to the right and step two meters south, Garry"

 

I didn't encountered this problem, but I believe that author of the topic researched the problem deeper than me and I tend to trust him because I encountered similar problem with my AI wingman.

I have a training mission for Su-25 (from Flaming cliffs 2024 package). In this mission I have a couple of areas with all kind of targets. The first area have a line of bradleys which are standing on the road near the sea. There is no obstacles around, the area is flat. But when I command my wingman to attack the ground targets it says that it can't. And it can't attack them beacuse it doesn't see the targets, as I discovered later. If I will dive on the targets and let my wingman dive with me to a pretty much low altitude and command my wingman to attack the targets after diving, it will start attacking the ground targets without a problem. Its like I need to put my wingman's face right into a targets to show where the targets exactly are.

Before the changes to AI field of view everything worked much better. But of course there was another problem like the bradleys which were see me from a pretty much high altitutde and were shooting at me like snipers. Now their behaviour is more realistic.

So there is definitely a problem with this new mechanic of AI's field of view and it needs some tuning and I guess its not that easy. It might be that each individual type of unit requires its own tuning, which requires a lot of time. But it definitely requires fixing.
