i already explained why flares are the best recon
i will quote my post again to you response
flares cost 60 muni
recon flight cost 35 muni
recon have better area coverage then flares but flares have larger staying ( but seriously covering recon more area is much better than just staying at one area come on lemon you are a strategist u should know lol)
ok so how many recon planes have saw got shot down..they survive 90% of the time lol
Both can be easily spotted
Only one point i can give you it being instant even that doesn't makes much difference.
just clear the facts before calling anyone fool and labeling yourself a strategist
also i dont know if flares reveal cloaked units or not
All that being said all these advantges and dis advantges should cancle it out
but the flares cost more..but i dont have much issue for this now because now 100 % income is apllied
