I thought relic recently changed it to where scout planes and flares and such reveal enemy camouflaged units? Or am I trippin? I've seen where my scout planes doesnt reveal, as well as enemy scout doesn't reveal my units. If this isn't a part of the game they should make it a part of it.. someone clarify please.

Recon planes do detect cloaked units. Flares do not work (at least on the JPIV).

I think recon plane does work against cloaked units.

I had a bunch of raketenwerfer uncloaked by the recon pass.

Recently had a game today where a British sniper wasn't uncloaked by my recone plane? Is it just my bad luck? He was in green cover.. vet 2 I think

With the exception of snipers and maybe some specialist squads (Commandos, Stormtroopers), I find the camouflage ability of most units dumb and bad for gameplay. You shouldn't be able to predator cloak an AT Gun or tank destroyer in the middle of a VP w/ nothing around it. Maybe only let these units camo in heavy cover or something? Idk.

I'm aware this is a game but the core gameplay is grounded in reality (e.g., small arms can't damage tanks) so that makes the Jagdpanzer IV video up there even more ridiculous.

Flares are supposed to, they added it so there was no contradiction with all the "no counter play" tweaking they were doing with the commanders and factions. I never knew recon planes did though.

update on this, the british attack planes that are supposed to have 0 visibility, while circling looking for a target, they will revile my OH sniper, (yes he is in cover) tho they will not shoot or fire at it, they still show him.
