I would like to see some stats for destroying UAV, SCAN, and ARTILLERY.

The AA vehicle does not pack enough punch, would like more power against Attack Helicopters and Aircraft.

I don't think a Sniper should show up on a commanders scan unless he is moving(running, walking, in a vehicle) kind of defeats the purpose of being a Sniper.

No, this is only for the sniper class, if the sniper is in a stationary position, the scan would not pick him up. What is the point of having a sniper up on a hill, out of site when the commander can rain atrillery down on him.

well, you do get "points for destroying a stregetical device" what ever that means or does

@J-Train
Indeed, some stats on destroying strategic objects would be nice.

What do you mean about the AA vehicle not packing punch? 2 missiles to kill an aircraft is insufficient..?

I think the purpose of being a sniper is to snipe. Sniping and being detected by a UAV seem like mutually exclusive events to me. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle... it presumably sits in one place and just LOOKS.. for whatever... however it does it. For example, if it detected heat signatures, how would a sniper be exempt from that? Because he's hiding in the bush he's now reptilian?

I'm just saying, people complain about the UAV shouldn't do this and it shouldn't do that, but if you think about what a UAV is supposed to represent, then it perhaps may make more sense why it does what it does (in-game)....

I was not talking about the UAV, I am talking about the Satellite Scan, its a aerial scan from the sky, no heat signatures.

Part of the sniper job is looking for a good hiding spot, knowing the commander has scans, UAVs and a bird-eye view over the area... (see the hint?) He is also provided with claymores to secure his position. And, 99% of times, no decent commander would waste an artillery drop to dispose of one single sniper...

Actually I believe that the UAV shouldn't see the Sniper kit as it relies on visual confirmation from altitude.
Sattelite Scan should still see them as it relies on heat signature.
Of cousre UAV still sees people in buildings which is also impossible.
But its a game and not real.

Thanks for all the input. These are just my thoughts on these subjects no right or wrong answers. Man I love playing this game.

Scans detect heat signatures while UAVs detect movement or something, I don't know. The AA is powerful enough, the MISSILES (damn those things) need to be more accurate. You get teamwork points for destroying strategic objects, 2 per object.

I think snipers have enough advantages already without making them scan-proof. As confirmation of their power, who else but a good sniper would command that much attention and effort?
