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

Sounds fair to me; after all that's what a recon is for. It's also good to know that we've been just spotted.

What bothers me more is that neither of my SpetsNaz subunits nor units is recon capable; that denies most of my best knowledge of the subject. Some of them are obviously enough deception units and that's fine regarding their behind-the-lines sabotage/diversionary mission, but what about reconnaissance? I know that some of them are either motorized or mechanized vanguards to perform a force recon, acting as a tip of the spear in front of the advancing main force columns, but I feel I should be given more flexibility in terms whether to drive on blindly the advance-to-contact deployment or - in anticipation of or detecting the enemy presence ahead- let them adopt a low profile and perform a little more stationary - or just more secure for a periofd o time - reconaissance mission using the :"recon spotting" command. Nevertheless no SpetsNaz element of mine so far has that ability.

Is that off-topic?
