Suggestion for new class: Recon
If in squad it spots enemies in a certain area for you.
If he marks a vehicle its spotting marker moves with target when it moves.
Has a binocular for better spotting.

It is better to make a scout, as in Heroes and Generals,they will be a sniper.
German scouts were called aukflarer or something.
Should probably be lightly armed, no?
Bro add this to the scout profit
God no, not another freakin’ artificial class to split bronze orders…

Wouldn’t be a problem if the damn orders didn’t prioritize snipers/tankers/pilots/flametroopers but rather troopers and whatever you need the most.
Heck, you’d probably get mostly scouts if they were to be implemented…

the orders do not prioritize anything - overall they give an even distribution across every type you have available - this would just be another type to add in the mix, thus resulting in even fewer of what you want.
Also the types are an awful throwback to D&D and it is about time game designers grew up and got rid of them altogether!

My hordes of tankers, pilots and snipers would like a word with you.

why?
With the amount of computing on every desktop these days there’s no reason why you can’t run a system that lets you train troops in the roles you need when you need them, using something like perks, without having to have vast numbers of enforced fighter pilots along for the ride (as it were) as well.

We can agree, that both of us have not programmed the code.
So doing assumptions if something is even or not, cannot be proven by gamers.
Anyway, I have to agree that with the current system (which is a pain in the ass even right now), a new class would be horrbile, even if it is a good idea.
The split between classes you really need often (infantry) and less often (pilots) and additionally the tier meta makes the bronze stuff very annoying in my eyes. but that is stuff for another thread 
It’s a matter of choosing what type of system you want the game to have rather than a coding problem - both require a great deal more expertise than I have to impliment, but the initial system design doesn’t require coding experience.
Sadly once such a decision is made it is pretty unlikely to be changed - but IMO Perks are a really nice little system and it is not difficult to see how something like that might be used for character training from a conceptual point of view.
An option to disable pilots, tankers and mortarmen from bronze orders would be amazing.

I would say just add this to the sniper class and rename them to recon

Yeah, I agree, just give it to sniper class to make them more viable.
As for squads, names are already there on some squads, so at least those should have this ability. (Moscow- Germany, Berlin: USSR)
Or alternatively as you said, just rename whole class and give this ability to everyone.
A “flare gun” for spotting ala BF:V could be cool.
