Modern War UAV

[Jeff Conner]

I have to preface this by admitting that I have played very little Modern War. If you check the weapon data, you will notice that the camera is a detection weapon, like binoculars, with a long range and infrared capability (so it can be used in low visibility scenarios). The UAV is treated as a helicopter in game terms. So you could fly your UAV above or in advance of your troops and look for hidden enemy units (by firing the camera at suspected locations) as well as those that are in the open. You may also discover some enemy units when they fire at your UAV, unless they have "hold fire" orders. The UAV has an armor value of 40 so it is going to be immune to smallarms and most other types of fire except for RPGs and HEAT weapons. It does not have a radio, so you can't use it to call in support fires, but it should help you find out where the bad guys are so that you can either attack them or avoid them.
