IMAO fernspäher are THE perfect reco unit of the game :

1- they come with TPz FUCH = faster positionning
2- they have no LAW/ATweapon = they stay stealthy to armored units until their 438 m AT grenade range
3- if are engaged with inf uniit, they simply wipe out them (maybe spetnaz because of their RPO rys weapon) with 10/0/3 stat (for a recon unit !) making them better than any inf unit rifle stat


According to you they are a mix between special forces and recon unit BUT they are the best recon unit for :
- faster deployement
- steathier

Those are all you need for recon units. They works even better in town where they can hold better than any inf unit + recon stat because 8 AT ammo and awesome 10/0/3 rifle stats.

Only drawnback = the most expensive inf unit with 4 VPZU with price of 35 ! BUT that for a reason and a good one + you need maybe 6-8 unit by battle...


REALLY GOOD GUIDE ANYWAY =)

Dragon IIs can use Bradleys as well.

I often use (or try to) 4 Vet 4 I-TOW bradleys + dragon 2s, spread out across an area of defense... tanks? What tanks? Air on the way? Retreat into forest, autocannons will rip them up.

That's a lot of money spent on weapons that are easily stunned/one shotted - and havoks will be out of your autocannon range. I'd recommend having some well armoured tanks with them to take damage.

Yeah they're not alone. I tend to never take heavy tanks, and sometimes vet 2 rather than vet 4 if points is an issue.

-1 Vet 2-4 Recon Bradley with I-TOW
-4 Dragon-Bradley spread out, and by spread out I mean far left and far right teams are out of range of one another. Only an inaccurate rocket barrage will hurt the group.
-1 Vet 4 Chap + Supply in back
-1 Vet 2 Roland up front
-4 to 8 Patton Rises
-Fill rest with cheap units.

Works fairly okay for fighting an enemy with limited artillery/air. I never deploy the DragBrad teams either without extensive recon. If I know the situation will allow them to excel then I risk the points.
