Proper Use of Scout Vehicles

[Herr Straße Laufer]

In the real world, the dude with the binoculars gets out of the vehicle while it is under cover and walks to where he can see what is ahead.

This is most correct.
Scout cars drove a few miles ahead until they suspected that they would soon contact the enemy. A scout would dismount and walk/crawl a mile, or so, ahead to take a look. Then he would return as stealthily as possible.
In real actions scouts are too valuable to be fodder.

Scouts often cannot be used in the game as they would in "real" situations. So, most players use them to trip the wires and institute "death by recon".

Which reminds me...

Would be fun if the towed artillery would have an artillery facing option, it exists as an optional rule in the original Panzer Leader card board game. It basically disallows artillery to fire beyond a 90 degree area they are facing. And they could only change facing with the help of the towing unit in the same hex.

What size artillery are you talking about?
