Germaine May 23, 2018:
Je peux me tromper, mais me semble qu'en français, on dirait "...pour des missions de surveillance furtive à distance". En tout cas, ça me semble plus proche du langage militaire que ces "missions de l'autre côté de la colline/crête" qui 1. ne se passent pas de "l'autre côté de la colline" et 2. oublient totalement le "peek".

Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : The suggestion of 'peek' suggests a furtive look at low altitude. In human terms, sticking your head up just enough to see, without getting it blown off!

neutral Daryo : that could easily be misinterpreted as some king of ongoing surveillance.

disagree Germaine : an "over the hill PEEK surveillance" ne se passe pas "de l'autre côté..."

"coup d'oeil rapide derrière la crête"

in practical terms "over the hill" translates as "behind the ridge", i.e. behind the obstacle limiting the visibility.

A "peek" suggest something as short as possible, not some durable/ongoing surveillance.

Apr 22, 2013 - I keep 4 gold rounds (4k each in silver) for situations when Im the bottom tier and Ive done wonders. One thing worth mentioning though. As with all german tanks there is hardly any gun depression. when on a hilly map as a rule just play pure sniper. You will get killed fast if you try over the hill peek a boo.

neutral Daryo : although these games try to be as realistic as possible, I wouldn't use them as any kind of reference for the real stuff.
