Fair enough but OPs issue seems to be teamgames and i dont really see the issue of required teamplay in teamgames.
Also why only non-doc recon is considered as both, howi and the drop to delete it requires a docs. I personally would include doctrinal options for recon to counter doctrinal abilities like Howitzers.
How would you add non-doc recon planes to soviets and ostheer?
Im not opposed to the idea but atm i dont see how it should be implemented and the need for it. If its needed for teamgames i would agree that planes could be added to both factions but we had to figure out the implications for 1v1
As I said in my first post I'd rather remove non-doc planes in general and give the newer factions some other recon similar to EFA pioneers. As a quick thought I'd even go as far as making doctrinal ones cheaper but only provide sight after some small delay and/or provide sight only if a friendly unit is close enough (however this does not make much sense logically). This way there is either enough counter play possible or you can't see any spot on the map anymore.
If I had to choose how OST and SOV get non-doc recon planes, I'd give an additional recon upgrade to the 222 (or unlock with vet or something). Soviets are kind of a hard thing, but I'd probably pick the T70 due to its recon role. Design wise these are all bad choices since they make an already meta unit even better, but thematically they don't fit on other units (unless you want to push for snipers).
Overall, the removal of "easy recon" would be a good thing and also allow for better balancing of backline units such as howitzers since they can't be countered as effortlessly anymore. But that's another topic and we already have a thread about CB and LeFH, so I'll leave it at that note.
