Binocular icon - what's up with that? ...

"However that part about being spotted by some high altitude air reconnaissance flights left me puzzled a bit: will the icon appear then too, meaning that a certain unit of mine is on on the enemy map visible either as a big grey question mark at best or a counter with the equipment & weapon type along with a number estimation?"

Yes, if you are spotted by air recon the binoculars will show up. It depends on the enemy recon as to what they see, maybe a ? maybe more. jonny
