Hidden units

[Strela]

Hidden units are not revealed by the recon spotting ability.

Perhaps a noob question, but .. what units does recon spotting reveal then? Is there a non-spotted but non-concealed status?

Mowgli's statement is incorrect. Recon spotting will reveal Hidden units, but only if they are in the recon unit's line of sight. The line of sight requirement may be what he is getting confused with.

It always pay to get your recons onto hills and start recon spotting as that will make more of the surrounding terrain visible.

Thanks for pointing that out! :) Recon spotting is not described in the manual in any detail (p. 36-37). Does it work somewhat similar to air recon missions then (p. 70-71)?

That's a great question and now that I look at page 70/71 I see where Dog Soldier is indicating that strength maybe a modifier.

I don't have the answer right now, but it is probably fair to assume that the air recon routines would be similar to the recon spotting routines.
