Its like a WW2 version of a UAV.
When you call it, its gonna be like a using a smoke barrage. You can manually direct where whe plane goes in and goes out
The Reconnaissance Plane Will Only Spot Enemies when the enemies are on the open area with no cover above them.
The Reconnaissance Plane Can Be Shot Down
The Difference of The Reconnaissance Plane is That There Will Be No Siren Alarms Blaring
not a huge fan of such arcady abilities.
and it’s effectiveness could be either too greater or too bad depending how buffed/nerfed it becomes.
with that being said,
it could still become useful in mods, so sure why not.
I could see it working if you used actual artillery spotter type aircraft, like the storch or grasshopper, very easy to shoot down if required, and able to mark concentrations of enemies or vehicles say once every 10 seconds while its in the air? Maybe have it circle approx. 1000m from the Battlefield?
Saying that though, such an ability would only make it that curbstomps, curbstomp even harder, since otherwise its very easy to shoot down such an aircraft.
When i play with a squad on airfield and we have them locked on the first objective i will just get in the biplane as a radio op and start flying around scouting for my teammates.
I think having a call in for something like that like a scout plane would be cool… help you find a pesky greyzone tank so you can maybe mortar or help your flyboys out.
I’ve been suggesting this many times
rather give it to snipers and separate the cooldown from radio unit.
Since obviously we wont get rid of these useless sniperlord9000’s they could very least accidentally call in uav and be useful for those ~5seconds the uav is in air.
Also because the radio operator already has quite alot of options and in those rare occasions when onlything you need is artillery on cap point theres ~4mins cooldown going on due to bombers.
Not looking forward to get my artillery blocked because of UAV while cap point is being lost.
i see it as being very toxic, players being exposed or daring to show five pixels or less. one thing that is not how photo recon worked it was not real time. pictures of static forces like tanks and gun emplacement’s were photographed. the photos brought back and developed plans made maps made this is not a ww2 drone.
this needs to be the opposite manual and impossible to shoot down where you get a birds eye view and have to like the binoculars ‘spot the enemy’. spotting is automatic by remaining on an area for a while until the enemy is highlighted. also people in buildings, will the planes view them directly from overhead or at an angle.
How about it only spot whats below it within the 10 meters Radius underneath the plane since the plane is flying low
one ten meter area like the area of an arty strike , ok annoying but if you can kill people in the same area
