Default Re: Scouting/Recon

I've been experimenting with scouts a bit and I agree that scout squads can manage to be sneaky but scout vehicles cant.

Thermal sights should make a world of difference, not just add more hexes to sight range. recon is an important part of mobile warfare and a scout unit should be adept at movement to contact, spotting and ID of enemy and disengagement.

im trying to discover the 'safe' speed for vehicles to move without always being detected.

I also think some of sizes need revision.

example: Canadian Forces (with which im familiar).

M113 size 3
LARV Coyote size 5
Leopard C3 size 5

hmmmm. dunno about that.....

I would put a LAV around size 4, but thats just me and im not even sure how much that would help either.
