DF85 Recon Helicopters

[Glenn Saunders]

In that case would have been inappropriate to make the attack helicopter units recon units?

Ya - and people have a way of finding ways to use units weinclude in manners which we hadn't always anticipated, and are perfectly legal causing us to make new rules to counter them. So sometimes it is just better to remove the temptation.

(examples are people used RHQs to build Entrenchments in games like Bulge - perfectly legal, but not correct. People also used Mot AT Guns in Normandy as cheap bump recon unts - again not realistic, but legal)
