Giving scout helicopters scouting

How would you feel if scout helicopters recieved scouting?

With scout UAVs getting it, it’d only make sense to also give it to scout helicopters (even with a longer cooldown than scout UAVs) to make them more viable as they have very limited weapon loadouts (14 rockets usually…)

Been stating this for a while. Helicopters in general should probably have scouting to make them more useful.

Yeah, its a good idea.

STOL aircraft could also be added in the future. Like the German Fieseler Fi 156 Storch - Wikipedia or British Westland Lysander - Wikipedia

could be kinda interesting to have

Good idea. Could give scout dedicated helis a bit more SL after a scouted target gets destroyed (Kiowa, Littlebird etc)

Yes, and also extend scouting ability to light tanks below Tier II!

It always annoyed me that many light tanks do not have scouting ability, even if their real life counterparts were used specifically for recconnaissance, like the M8 Greyhound or the Sd.Kfz. 140/1, which even has scouting in its name ( Aufklärungspanzer 38(t))…

Yeah, not all light tanks should have it but dedicated scouts 100% should

I remember when the 234/1 had it for a while when it was added… was so fun

This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.

Like they did years ago…?

Please provide an example

IIRC Tier I LT’s never had scouting. I remember complaining about this very loudly when that mechanic was first introduced.

Only the 234/1 had it for a very limited amount of time

Maybe it was in Tier II then, then later got moved to Tier I?

Nope, was tier I, probably a bug cuz they just copied the mods from the 234/2 that was rank 2 and forgot to remove scouting

It is. I just made an educated guess based on multiple examples that i’ve seen over the years in this community

Ohhhh yes, I think I remember! Almost was very hopeful for a short time that we’d get Tier I scouting as I’ had always wanted!

M22 had it…
