In my opinion the Uhu is in a good spot at the moment. The only thing thats a bit odd for my taste, is the beam of the searchlight since it permanentely gives away its position to the enemy. Because it can´t defend itself I guess it would be better to remove the beam. What do you think, do you even use it? :)

There's probably little reason for it to have the visible beam, though it isnt terribly long, is it? Is there much of a situation in which you'd be able to see the beam but not also have already seen the UHU? As far as I know, it doesnt even render unless you can already see the vehicle.

Its like being spotted by a flare. All vision is either quiet close or has some telltale sign.

My favorite is the burning wreckage of a recon plane.

There's not exactly a universal balance of vision. Some have tells, and other units like a 222, 221, pathfinders, ect. have no tell at all they are spotting you. The beam was back when it literally marked targets through fog with a red outline, basically being a map hack.
