Recon Drone Update?

The Recon Drone is a handy tool to have. One thing I think needs to change is map marking. If you get tagged then destroy the recon drone you still appear as a red dot on the mini map. It would make more sense if the dot dissolves slowly after destroying the main "signal" (The Recon Drone). Many of times has getting tagged cost me a flag cap on domination or a simple kill on TDM. If the Drone is gone the red dot should be too. What do you all think?

Re: Recon Drone Update?

That would make it the same as the UAV, if not a little less useful that the UAV.

  But also keep in mind the drone has 3 sets of flares.

Sounds like it's doings it's job. The funny thing is no one bothers to shoot at a recon drone, it takes maybe half a clip to destroy it.

  The only problems with that is it being nearly impossible to shoot due to size and hit detection. Not to mention this sticks you out like a sore thumb to other combatants. While I condone the use of Recon Drones, three rockets are way too much to spare.

    Just try one emp nade, it its gone if you toss it near the bird close enough as it explodes.

      I've tried that; it's too situational and the EMP isn't guaranteed to work even at point-blank detonations.

Re: Recon Drone Update?

never reaslly had a problem with the recon drone. i usually stay under the radar when that thing is around, and if it tags me. i usually dont go down to easily, and noticed some people might not even check their mini map too often
just out of curiosity, does anyone know how long does the effect of the recon drone last?

    In my opinion, that makes it overpowered. Should have a time limit, like the recon perk.

  It lasts the length of that spawns life time. In other words death or end of round or match. But the recon is easily destroyed by even the emp nade. they should make the emp nade neutralize the effects of it when tossed.

    ^^^ it does really but only to one person, the guy u hit with ur emp nade, just not the whole team
    
    I always shoot them down if they are close enough,
    
    Has any one checked to c if it wears off if ur using dead silence?? Cos that reduces the affects of recon, so I would imagine that means recon drones as well??

Re: Recon Drone Update?

I just hate that it has so many flares. A toy helicopter shouldn't have flares let only three.

Re: Recon Drone Update?

hmmmm I shot one down today and it had no flares. It was smoking so maybe the flares were broken.
