Hello,
I seem to have troubles with gaining vision in team games when playing US.
Major ist a decent option but very micro-heavy to dislodge the FRP, wait 1+ minutes and bring him back again and again. And all this walking makes him angry. Otherwise, i found nothing with base units.
The commanders I play give only very limited vision options. Airborne has the Pathfinders which do a decent job, but I find it risky to build more than 1 of them. Rifle flares are excellent, but thats all there is about this commander since E8s seem weak right now. Recon plane commander i dont play. Infantry, Hvy Cavalry, Urban Assault have nothing. And thats about it?!
How do you guys gain vision with US in team games? Or do you solely rely on your mates?
Cheers
Hanz

You don't need to disloge the FRP to use the plane ability.

What Esxile said, you don't have to do this to use the recon pass. And what do you mean "all this walking"? You can call it in from anywhere and still get good coverage
And don't forget you get 2 recon planes with each pass at vet 1

fun fact the recon pass comes from the base and sweeps to the point you activate the ability of the major and then continues across the map. So you can basically construct a line in your head from the base to the point you click to the area you want recon off. This can be done from the FRP without moving the major
On most maps you can basically cover somewhat over 80% with it

I think the OP plays 4v4, where the recon pass is most useful in providing sight for someone's call-in to counter on-map arty. In that case, you do have to stop the FRP, walk to a good aiming point, use the ability, then walk back. There isn't any other solution besides playing Tactical Support.
In general, it doesn't seem like the USF's vision options are much worse than any other faction. It'd be better if the M20 were more viable or if pathfinders were in more commanders.

I know. What I didnt know was that it gives vision above and beyond the red circle. Because I apparently suck at looking at my screen..
