Air Reconnaissance

[Capt Cliff]

First will there be "fog of war", meaning you only see the units your next too and then have only limited information on them. Unless you've attacked them.

Second are units that are "behind the lines" visible to your opponent?

Last will there be air reconnaissance?

[siRkid]

Yes there is air recon and it's a very important aspect of the game. If fog of war is on, you can't see units behind enemy lines unless you do air recon. Air recon improves detection level and the better the level the better your bombing raids do. You can only learn so much from Air Recon, up to detection level 4.

is it possible to mask a buildup with large amounts of flak and air cover?

[PyleDriver]

Were tweaking that also...

[Stryder]

it's amazing how much you guys are tweaking!! every time I think of something new, invariably its already in the beta!

Production is also the subject to be tweaked.

Thanks Kid!! Can you have local fighters provide escort for the air recon, especially against heavy opposition. I assume with sufficent defensive fighter support you can affect the recon, even shoot a few down!

Geez Guy give it a rest about production!! [:-]

Yes, recon can have escort fighters. Probably it would be possible to assign fighters for the close recon tasks.

Are other types of intelligence represented in any way, i.e., signals intercepts?

yes, you can let the AI set the recon missions flown, or you can assign units to it

if you have your fighters forward enough, you can also set traps and use Recon as bait

a JG for protection, works wonders when the Russian decides to try and stop the Recon mission
