Recon soldiers act as the marksmen of the game and are experts in long-distance shooting; their knowledge of the terrain and their use of camouflage help them approach the enemy without being noticed, facilitating the location of enemy forces. These highly trained soldiers belong to specialized Reconnaissance Assault Teams. To unlock the Recon class you need to reach level 9 in-game. The main role of recon soldiers, as the name suggests, is Reconnaissance: spotting and marking enemy units in the field by aiming at them for a few seconds (especially armored vehicles), alerting the team as to how looming threats need to be dealt with, and if possible, eliminating the most valuable targets when they least expect it. It is this combination of brutal long-range dominance and eagle-eyed observation that makes the recon soldier such a pivotal force on the battlefield. Recon units can sometimes even be used to capture [[Capture Points|points]] and set traps inside them, although this is not recommended, as even One Shot to Kill (OHK) [[Bolt-Action rifles|bolt-action rifles]] cannot truly compete with fully-automatic weaponry at close range. Recon soldiers unlock [[Mines|anti-personnel mines]], [[motorcycles]], and [[scopes]] quicker than the normal soldier. They're also more likely meant to defend, but if used correctly, can prevent whole teams of enemy reinforcements from advancing, allowing their own team to move up and capture the point. The main downside to recon is the small amount of spawns in their [[Assault team|Assault Team]]. [[File:Reserve_Recon.jpg|frame|220px|right]] While [[Infantryman|Infantry]] can have scoped [[Bolt-Action rifles|bolt action rifles]], Recons are better for the job. The difference between an [[Infantryman|Infantry]] with a [[Bolt-Action rifles|bolt action rifle]] and a Recon with a [[Bolt-Action rifles|bolt action]] [[Bolt-Action rifles|rifle]] is that the Recon has the choice of many more [[scopes]]—both in terms of magnification and optics design—as well as having a higher-damage barrel ensuring the one-hit-kill ability of the [[Bolt-Action rifles|rifle]] (unless the enemy is wearing [[Heavy Set CB|Heavy Set]] gold); Recons also have the ability to own [[Recon Vehicles|Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs/Recon cars)]] ([[M8 Greyhound]] for Americans, [[Sonderkraftfahrzeug 222|SdKfz 222]] for Germans, and the [[GAZ BA-64|BA-64]] & [[BA-6]] for Soviets). Meanwhile, [[Infantryman|Infantry]] can have a [[Bolt-Action rifles|bolt action rifle]] that, at highest damage, can one-hit-kill people wearing [[Heavy Set CB|Heavy Set]] bronze but not silver or gold; [[Infantryman|Infantry]] are also stuck with a low [[Scopes|scope]] magnification of 1.9x while all Recons have the choice of all scopes that [[Infantryman|Infantry]] can have, a mid-powered [[Scopes|scope]] (2.8x for Americans, 4.0x for Soviets, and 4.2x for Germans), and the highest power 8.0x magnification [[scopes]]. The main advantage that [[Infantryman|Infantry]] have over Recon is that Infantry are more common in War battles and have more [[Equipment Points|equipment points]], allowing [[Infantryman|Infantry]] to carry [[Sub-Machine Guns|SMGs]] and other equipment alongside their [[Bolt-Action rifles|bolt action rifles.]]<br /> <br /> <nowiki/><nowiki/>__toc__ =Weapons= *Please note that recon soldiers can use weapons other than bolt-action rifles, but it is highly recommended against. *Note: All explosives can each be unlocked by all factions, but unlocking a weapon from a different faction will require obtaining higher ribbon ranks.
