The amount of times I've shot down a recon plane only for it to crash into what it was likely trying to recon for a strike is embarrassing and appalling quite frankly....
I lost an hour long game on Steppes once because I shot down a recon plane at the North VP. It crashed into my con squad and wiped it. The other team capped with an engineer to win with maybe 8 vp's left. Gotta love RNG.
