An idea to buff Allies detection abilities.

Now that the OKW IR Halftrack only cost 200mp, the Axis totally outclass the Allies in detection abilities. Tomorrow's patch gives all recon overflights the ability to detect cloaked units within 90 range, buffing all factions, but especially Close-Air Support with it's incredibly spammable overflight.

I don't mind any of this one bit but I think the Allies could use something a little more which led me to an ability that is almost never used by anyone and could fit the role: Soviet Armored Vehicle Detection. Available at 4 CP in Urban Defense and Shock Motor Heavy Tactics this ability costs a whopping 65 munitions to reveal vehicles on your minimap within a radius around your combat infantry and only works for something like 30 seconds.

I propose this ability be changed to a passive for all combat infantry that works in "X" radius. Maybe even adding something similar to how the OKW IR HT highlights units on the battlefield that it detects.

usf has non-doctrinal recon and soviets have radio intercept, recons and flares. i wouldnt call it outclass.

agree on IR but if you make it fuel cost no one will buy it. just increase mp cost imo. you can turn it around as much as you want and even if you would see it in every game its still non-doctrinal.

ps. remember times when radio intercept intercepted where i placed teller mines?
