_Flin_ -> Wish for Update: Air Recon (9/1/2011 2:58:47 PM)

Hi there,
I am currently starting to play PC, and I just love it.
In my campaign I am just about to invade Russia (playing on Field Marshal, and having won all scenarios, although no decisive victory since Norway.
Furthermore, I play Multiplayer against a friend of mine via PBEM.
One thing I noticed, however, is the lack of aerial reconnaissance. I'd really like an air unit to scout around. So I want to propose the addition of Recon Air Planes. It doesn't have to be a new class, maybe a fighter plane with weak fighting skills, good air defense and a lot of fuel. Add a spotting of 3 or 4.
This would really help a lot and add another realistic part in the game, as long as you want to trade information for a unit.
Aerial reconnaissance played a big part in the war. Be it Operation Rheinübung, when Bismarck and Prinz Eugen were spotted due to it, be it the Battle of Midway etc.
The US had the F-4, based on the P-38E, the F5, based on the P-38G and the Mustang F-6.
The UK used modified Mosquitoes and Spitfires.
Germany used the FW-200 Condor, Junkers Ju 290, Dornier Do 215, Heinkel He 111, Dornier Do 17 and Junkers Ju 88 for long reconnaissance, and Henschel Hs 126, Messerschmitt Me 110, Donier Do 17, Junkers Ju 88, Focke-Wulf Fw 189 and Junkers Ju 290 for close reconnaissance.
I'd love to have some air recon. What about you?
