Anyone can tell me what USA unit has better sight range apart from pathfinder which is a callin unit. I found short sight is huge problem for USA force.

Yeah I have the same problem too, specifically with Jackson's attack range. I guess I just took SU 85s sight increase range ability for granted! I sure would love a scope on them. I don't think they have any sort of recon sight besides pathfinders unfortunately. But the major does have the recon plane which is tricky to use but it's something.

It's fine, OKW has to spot for Jagdpanzer IV's, and they're a hell of a lot less mobile than the M36.

im afraid pathfinders are all you have unless you have recon support commander.

which negates the sight range weakness with basically every ability it has.

You should be screening your vehicles with infantry.

The M20 does, because it's a recon unit. Regular units (everything from infantry to heavy tanks) have 35, recon units (light armoured cars, aka scout cars) have 50.

An M20 isn't a bad idea to keep around. Long sight range, decent at punishing capping squads, has a teller mine equivalent. Letting your enemy spot it and luring them into mines for your TDs to finish off tends to work well.

Generally, though, a lot of US builds just have to suffer short sight ranges.

Dodge cars have pretty long sight range, IIRC, too, if you get the Mechanized Company.
