russian recon units
« on: July 09, 2011, 03:07:16 PM »
as all of you know, soviets dont have a recon-unit/spotter like a bike, jeep or ketten/sc/vampire. well, every army have a unit like this. even brits with their recon rifle have a spotter with it. tough i know, that the commissar have a huge range of sight and a nice detection radius. but i think its allways hard to find enemy cloaked paks and snipers as russian. so what u think of adding a recon unit like a bike to the russian army?

think the detection radius from commissar is just crazy... but commissar shouldnt be used as a recon unit... its a (very important) fighting unit and to use him to scout is a waste of firepower and manpower... so maybe set down the detection radius from commissar and get a recon unit like a bike instead of it... btw: is there a unit which can detect enemy mines??

Sturmovie have minesweepers.

CS and T70 have a large detection radius.

That sight range ability from the CS and Sniper spotter does it have a detection range?

Sight range ability comes in middle game because of the vet. So there is only the CS Major as a key unit in early game.

only commissar has detection radius... not the sniper... btw using russian sniper to hunt enemy sniper without recon is just shit.. sturmmovie with minesweeper? well, a bit expensive to search mines lol they also come in mid/late game first so it sucks... before that russians are helpless against mine spam... only way to clear is to run to death on them... not funny.. t70 detection radius is pretty bad for hunting paks/making them visible too...^^ russians need a recon unit and minesweeper...

Why would it cost you to search for Mines? That's just stupid... :-\

Pioneers are 120 Manpower, and Engineers are 140 Manpower, but that probably doesn't count, since you get a squad for free at the start, anyway. Minesweepers are 35 Munitions, i think.

changed thx; only wanted to compare the costs for researching a minesweeper. While brits are totally exaggeratedly the costs for soviets are pretty expensive because of the mun
