Um, Brian? Calculate the angle at which a line-of-sight shot from a
range 
of, say, 500 meters and an altitude of 10 meters strikes an MBT.

Do you find this angle to be significantly different from that of a shot

fired from the same altitude as the target?

That 10 meter tall walker needs to be pretty close to the target in
order 
to be able to get roof shots - close enough that DS2 considers the 
engagement a "close assault".

However, the enemy of the 10 meter tall walker don't need to be 
particularly close to see the walker above low houses, trees or hills...
