HTinfrared need a cooldown

I agree with the cooldown button. However it must also be accompanied by deleting the effect that your unit is being scanned. I get that you could see planes scouting your unit, but how on earth do you know your unit is being scanned with infrared sensors?

I agree. Especially when Axis has other methods of scouting (camouflage units) at their disposal, having a "risk free" scouting unit is just too much.

I dont see why being the only faction with munition free scouting would require it being done unknown to the opponent. Strong as it is, you know a recon plane is above you so you should know your being scanned as a mechanic not a historical point . Which is why it currently works thst way.

HTinfrared need a cooldown

In the video you can see the easy harassment HTinfrared and HTstuka to reach opponent's base.
This is not new, it is something common in 3v3/4v4, if not arrive at the base, the user is gained positions until victory.

-HTinfrared has barely micro, it is to place the vehicle and auto-recon
-Have him on the field, the user and his teammate did not need any spending flares or air recon.
-For this it is necessary for these ability add a cooldown, not to allow to have a 100% usage.
-He needs a button as the valentine to block the vehicle.



suggestions

-Add button HTinfrared as Valentine lock the vehicle
-Changue to two or three moves with the laser infrared and add cooldown to ability (90seconds or whatever to Valentine/HTinfrared)

Do consider that the OKW has only ONE scouting call-in, the Flare in one doctrine. Wher is the one with multiple Air Recons and you might not always be paired with them.

The Brits have free repeatable Air Recon on their Command Vehicle(one time buy like the Infared HT) so this isn't a one faction thing.

I could see raising its fuel cost to 15-20 so it is at least a little more investment needed or maybe slow down its infared sweep so you can time it and dodge it(isn't there a mission in Ardennes Assault where you have to maneuver past a bunch of these things?). If you make it a cooldown ability then it needs to either be free with a short timer, cost munitions but be undetectable, or cost munitions and give it a weapon/ability to reinforce squads. I do think though it would be neat to slow down its sweep to slightly slower then infantry charge speed so you can walk past it with proper timing.
