I see now that combat wise the MC unit sucks, but they were designed for recon which is why I put them with my corps, I will have to read the manual and see if there is anything in there about recon.
One thing they should do and don't(maybe?) is screen, recon, and report. If this game does this, I don't know how, so it may be a limitation of the system. Without these units in real life you are flying blind, as with cav and armored car units. I would rather have Panzers roll up on my MC by surprise than my tank bn.
I agree, the CV is low, but their real value is not in fighting. If they added to detection level or better yet, they should reduced your own DL, then disbanding them might not be wise.
On the recon, I haven't figure it out yet, there is some info in the editor on detection level of zero, but I do not know how this affects other units. If it has a DL of zero does it screen the parent unit? Would love to know this for sure, but if it was the case I sure it would have come to light by now. In the manual under 13.1 the only clue I can find is this one.
Adjacent enemy combat units compare scouting values for the different units to determine changes in DL levels.
I don't know what the scouting value is.
