I for one would like to do recon missions. I would also like to do air resupply. I find it satisfying to do long range recon, find the enemy keep tags on them and radio what is going on to my team. I do this Now in another game. I also enjoy watching my team take territory and airfields and flying supplies into them to replenish the bases supplies. I currently do this often in another sim. It is quite humorus to hear the enemy complaining that there is no way that many planes can be launching from that base since they just took it. Knowing the reason is because I am delivering fuel and ammo. I also enjoy loading up extra fuel and climbing high to provide High Cap for bases. People are appreciative when you splash a formation of bombers headed to there runway, or some get through and you give them warning to take off. So the long boring recon mission would not be since you would have to plan the search range, be vigilant, and of course sneaky to survive. the key would be to have dedicated recon planes, however a B-17 could be a good recon plane. More in that vein you could use any plane to do recon so if you wanted to search out the ships, report and then engage the cap with a fighter good luck.
