Hidden units. What do you say about this?

[Dog Soldier]

That is correct. The use of hidden units is a powerful tool for the defending player in Panzer Battles. Best you do read up on the subject.

Hidden units are what make the attacking player's recon units so much more valuable in Panzer Battles than ever were in PzC. A game of cat and mouse in PzC was just a matter of either bumping into enemy units or moving to where there was a good LOS on the suspected enemy posiitons. Then the other side would just throw their hats in the air and say "I see you, now you can see me."

Panzer Battles makes it a bit tougher to tell where the enemy is positioned. this makes defensive fire so much more deadly when attacking troops take it point blank in the face.

The trade off is hidden units have no ZOC.
