What, if any, is the game purpose/special capabilities of recon-type units? Do they have particular advantages modelled in somewhere?
No Bobbyb1 , apparently that recon value assigned to them is so the AI can manage them better ie send them ahead of an advancing group to scout for enemy. There is some talk about actually making that recon value a statistical factor in determining spotting probability of a unit, or to simplify ; the higher the recon value, the greater chance of spotting enemy .
