Hey, this is a really cool idea! :aok

+1 to the idea that you ONLY get the information about where everything is if you land your aircraft.  That way you wouldn't get those scouts that find something and bail right away.

I'd like to see the discovered terrain stay there for a while.  I'd be willing to bet the whole map wouldn't ever get discovered in an entire map round, so I say leave what they find until the map changes.

Perhaps certain bases (bases on the front lines maybe?) show up automatically that way the game doesn't hit a lull because no one is scouting?
good idea  :aok :cool:

And with the part about you having to land to see stuff, I'd have to say, a maybe.... Because they could still radio stuff back in, so it would have to be like this:

you find something, but you're killed in the process, in that area, you can only see base flashes and Dar-bars above 2,000 feet, if you land, it's like it is right now.

it doesnt matter, HTC have always been headstrong, the choice will come down to them alone, community support can help them to see what the customers want, thats all we can do and thats how it should be.

Think of it like this, you're cruising around in a P-51D, you go scout a base, find enemy planes and radio them in ex. ".location <Sector>" until you land, people can only see the darbar above 2000 feet, and they can only see base flashes, after you land, they can see what they currently see right now. If you scout out 3 or 4 sectors, you get.... 5 Fighter perkies+perkies for any kills you land.

Thats what I was thinking, but there is always someone who wants to complicate it up.

What would be nice is a way to mark down where a CV is or it's general location. After X amount of minutes, you gotta do it again.

Sounds interesting, but i can see how this would get old very fast. It would anoy alot of people to have to unfog bases. This may be useful for snapshots or FSO.

Did a search for 'photo recon' and it looks like this has been suggested more times then the B29! I would love it especially if the unarmed Mossies and the cannon P51 (F6) were brought in to do the recon work but the perk reward would have to be high... very high.
