I suggest that the field testing value increases in relation on the amount of recon a recon aircraft raises instead of damage dealt. IIRC recon aircraft usually do not strafe but gather intel.

Recon is a role and a Air mission, not a specific kind of craft. All craft can be used for air-recon. So all of them would have to be able to gain Field Testing from it.

Which is quite a good suggestion.

It seems wrong that you can get field testing for a fighter by using it for Air Recon.

It also seems a bit odd that you can put Machine Guns on Recon planes. Most purpose build recon planes are left unarmed, as the reconisance gear takes up a lot of space.
Even fighters and bombers often had to be retrofited for reconisance often had their combat ability removed to fit the gear.

Maybe "Recon Gear" could take the same spot as the AA weapon or bombs?
That one would give Recon planes a much better recon ability while also marking them as "should get Field Testing from Recon".
