OF COURSE "scout vehicles" cannot manage to be "sneaky" any more than any other vehicle of comparable size. Do they get some cloak of invisibility because they may have extra surveillance gear ? A Coyote is 6.39 m. long and 2.69 m high. Please explain how something 20 feet long and nearly 9 feet high is going to be any "sneakier" on the battlefield than anything else that size just because it's a "scout" vehicle ??

It has good eyes with a 45 vision, you get it to where it can see what you want it to see then you wait for the enemy to appear and if you need to do foot recon for that ideal location then you sent out foot scouts not fart about "sneaking" around with the vehicle because something that big just isn't built to "sneak". If you need to get though to the edge of the tree line you do it one hex at a time and that will reduce your chances of being seen while moving.

Most "scout vehicles" in the game are just something to carry scouts in. If they have better vision then so much the better doing recon but they are not any harder to detect when moving or standing still.
