i know its probabley stupid but photo recon missions might be a good addition to the senarios at least. So the mosquito that has a plastic nose (im not sure which mark it is) could be added???... it may add something more to the game??? wot u all think ???

would be cool like post it in the tower and stuff under a clickable on the chalkboard for intel.

Question is what would you use it for? We already have maps of all the field/base/factory/etc. layouts built-in. There's no troop movements to track, and most people don't seem to care about the trucks, barges and killer trains to bother with taking pictures of them.

I would bring back a picture of

the rearm pad(from ground level)
the ceiling of a hanger(while inverted)
my buddys plane
a closeup of a n00bs bomber
blurred close up of some bishrook chute
and about 3 dozen close ups of some guys plane as I fly directly above his cockpit

and let whoever wants to look through photo intel, puzzle it all out

Can post pictures in tower. Can show where gvs may be located on a feild. Can be great for tanktowns.

what would photo recon do?

nobody would stay in the same place when they realize they are being reconed don't see any use for it since the enviroment is constantly changing

Well, maybe if they added a "fog of war" feature, or randomized airfields, field guns, ack positions not assigned to a given field, etc.

I think there should not be model of fighter or bomber of enemy shown.

Maybe it could be used for finding fleets,if you take a photo of an enemy fleet you get bomber perks like 10 for CV + 7 for cruiser and 3 for each small ship.

i like the fog of war idea for photo recon:noid

maybe a recon plane could act almost like a radar tower (or awacs)

basically if it is above 5,000 feet it could show aircraft and vehicles within a certain radius.. gamey yes, but would be quite cool.

the plane should be lower and slower to "spot" gv's.a good photo recon ship is the f-5(p-38 with camera instead of guns in the nose)or the fw 189 or the storch or the fw 200:noid
