I'm not all that good and I mostly play 3v3/4v4. So you take what you want out of this.
Recon company is one of those that is 'Almost Amazing'.
Why do I say that? because every once and a while when the stars align on the right map this company actually works. Most of the time though its a bit of a train wreck.
What I like best about this company is the I&R barrage, or used to until the nerfed the time it took to call it in. It is still one of the more MU efficient barrages out there. Trouble is it's on a 3-man glass c---, just glass, squad. I use the fake flares more than anything though and it does cause the occasional retreat or just re position.
The M8 scout car can be really good, just so long as your opponent has 0 AT and 0 vehicles (it loses to all other vehicles except for kubel and un-upgraded halftrack, even then it might be close). And you pretty much are forced to buy the 70MU health/armor upgrade just so it can contend with basic infantry. Canister shot is pretty nasty about squad wipes if your opponent isn't paying attention. If he is paying attention then its just a MU waster - and you don't want to waste MU so you can keep bombarding your enemy with those I&R barrages.
I've always hated that the airborne drops with an unmanned AT gun. Why? because you're probably not going to pick that piece of crap up because it sucks vs axis mid-late- v. late tanks, buuuut it's fast reload and decent arc make it excellent against those low armor allied tanks. So you can't let it get captured. Also, it really sucks when both AB squads drop with double zooks. Who wants that?? What person at relic even thought it was a good idea for them to drop with anything besides thompson/1919LMG??? It's such a dice roll if you get decent weapons or not. It comes late and it's expensive as hell. It should be 700MP and no AT gun and they drop with either Thompson or LMG.
If you still want to play it after all that it's decent vs OKW or highly defensive OH on maps with a moderate amount of buildings - particularly high health buildings that say intact for a while. Why do I say this? because I&R pathfinder's barrage is actually quite great at clearing out those really dug in spots. Or you could just play infantry company. Your choice.
As to your questions about the M7 mine. If I'm not mistaken its the exact same mine that Assault Engineers have and it's much better after the change. Although I haven't tried it with recon company's paras.
R version: Combine the vCoH concept of doctrines with the DoW2 concept of commanders. Core armies would be smaller Each faction would have 3 doctrines and three commanders. Doctrines would mostly provide 6 units/abilities, while commanders would provide 3 units/abilites. Depending on the race faction doctrines would represent a significant identity in that faction - for chaos it's god allegiance, for Eldar it would be aspects, for Space Marines it would be companies etc.
