Gaining intelligence from enemy armies?

[rolypoly]

Can this be done in any other way than identyfying enemy HQ? I could really use this ability to mark enemy army sectors to map and get a better picture of the situation....

If not, it seems a bit unrealistic to me. If you move your division next to enemy division, prisoners will be taken and Im quite sure that even the lowest ranking recruit should be aware of what division he belongs to, not to mention the army...

If your units are next to next to enemy units, you can generally tell which units they are, especially if you attack them (or vice versa), as the unit name is displayed in the combat box. As far as I know, air recon can help you determine if a unit is infantry, mech, panzer, etc. but not provide specific unit IDs.

There is what I must think is an exploit, however: if you bomb a unit far behind enemy lines, you get to see the unit name in the combat box.

But I generally don't care that much, I am more interested in simply the quantity of panzer/mech units in a vicinity rather than which units.

So I need to bomb enemy HQ´s in order to ID enemy armies? I really do not care about the division ID´s, but marking enemy armies should help, and this way I cant really tell which division belongs to which...

damn...
