Is there an easier way to do recon on a hex then

1) try and find a recon unit (gl not many)
2) then use it's recon button on a selected hex


Would be much better UI if could simply pick a hex and select recon to get a list of all recon air units available to select one. Right?

I am confident there are no specific AIR RECON units. As far as the mechanics, click the enemy hex, then click on the AIR unit.., everybody can do recon. Fighter have 5 Recon, the other planes have 2.

There are, sort of, for the Germans, maybe not for Soviets. They are marked by SchG and have some fighterss and the HS-123 bi-planes planes as well. I know they are classified as bombers, but I use them as recon.

Not sure what others do for recon.

I play as Soviet and use fighters for recon. It seems to initimidate the Luftwaffe. I haven't seen them for days except
when they do some bombing in their own private Federicus offensive thing. Initially they would intercept the recon
missions, but not any more.
It may be that the 100 or so extra fighters I got from STAVKA has helped with the recon.

I'd like to see the recon system improved the following way:

1. Select hex to be reconed
2. Be able to press an air recon button and then select units to perform recon either from a list button or search for them manually

Looks like you built it already! Now, that's what I call a true Modder!
