Default Re: Scout helos

I frequently buy two scout/light helos and put one on each map edge (usually north & south) as far behind my front lines as possible and still see a bit ahead (5-10 hexes) of my front line units. Between them they can usually see most of the battlefield. That way the function as both FO's and spotters. And being far back don't attract so many MANPADS and get missed most of the time when they do, the second helo often spots an enemy MANPAD that fires at the first.
