The R3 T20 FA-HS was designed as a light reconnaissance vehicle. It's so absurd that the Avistraposti alleys can carry out reconnaissance while this vehicle, which was designed for reconnaissance, cannot

The ASU-57, ASU-85 and M56 Scorpion are tank destroyers, but because they are airborne vehicles, they can also be used for reconnaissance… The same goes for the Wiesel 1A4, which is in the game as an SPAA but has reconnaissance capabilities because it is an airborne vehicle… But the R3 T20 FA-HS, which was created as a reconnaissance vehicle, not only does it not have reconnaissance capabilities, but it has been classified as an SPAA.

Adjust your game and give the R3 T20 FA-HS the ability to perform reconnaissance while keeping it at BR 6.0 since it does not have APDS and no thermal sights.

This isn’t unique to the R3 hell even the USH is identical to the problem just like the R3

Gaijin treats them as SPAA so that people will be discouraged to use them as TD’s

It would be nice to have vehicles classified as they are IRL, but Gaijin decided to class them according to their role in the game. Hence why for example the M18 Hellcat is a light tank in WT instead of a TD…
Speaking of TDs with scouting ability, you may add to your list the Pakpuma, too…

They should add semi-classes same as for aircraft, so R3 would be “light tank/SPAAG” and would benefit from both classes. Some vehicles like missile carries and IFVs could get “light tank/tank destroyer” class and get both scouting and ammo crates. This would also allow to use such vehicles to complete a wider range of daily/bp/special tasks.
Although it can lead to br increases across the board of course.

I think it should get spotting, its a recon vehicle after all.

Same boat as the ELC BIS was in until recently

I do think all lightweight vehicles, tank destroyers and SPAA should get spotting

I honestly think the 4 airdrop designed SPG should lose the scouting and so should the M18 and be reclassified as a SPG.

the m18 is a tank destroyer, its stupid it was ever called a light in game.

However i do think it should still be able to scout, TDs and assault tanks have an intended role of hunting armour and destroying it, if they see it they should be able to let others know

The big issue is that it used to be classed correctly but then they just decided to change it. If they just gave it acouting it would jot have been an issue at all.

I mainly say remove the scouting for those since the ability is not equally represented. Only 4 vehicles from 2 nations have it. The ELC BIS used to be the most egregious example with being designed to be airdop capable yet was classed as SPG for some reason and even still did not have scouting. Then they correctly classified it and I had to spade the thing 3 times in total since they forgot to give it the artillery strike modifications at first.
