The UAV is fine as it is, especially now that you can see it so you know whether or not you are being watched.
I think the satellite scan:
a) shouldn't be able to differentiate between friend or foe but rather light up all heat sources and leave it up to the commander to be able to figure out which ones are enemies (which if he is doing his job properly should be easy as he'd know where all his troops are
b) shouldn't be able to identify people who are concealed/under sufficient cover (or maybe give certain vehicles stealth capabilities)
c) should only be able to be used every 5 minutes or so.
Currently it totally removes any possibility of a surprise attack or ambush, which I think would make the game a lot more interesting if it were possible to launch covert strikes on the enemy, not to mention being able to send snipers in behind enemy lines to cause confusion and not have them get killed after only being there for 2 minutes.
And personally I think that arty is the one biggest annoying thing in BF2. I don't think they should remove it entirely but maybe make it so that it is less frequent but more powerful and/or cover a greater area so that it gets used more strategically rather than for just raping the same point over and over again every couple of minutes or so like most commanders seem to do with it.
What are your thoughts on the above points?
