Air recon and carpet bombing question

[Liquid_Sky]

Hmm...I realize now that I must be doing something gamey and will have to stop.

We too play with limited air recon, and no bombing of hexes, however, we do play with counterbattery fire. I got into the habit of always shooting at those '?' but was somewhat frustrated in not knowing if I was doing any harm. Sooooo....I flew a recon air to the hex, and voila! The units in the hex became spotted. Now, when the artillery piece pops on, I can see the damage I am doing. Trouble is, it considers the hex spotted to all units. And probably, my firepower is increased.

At first it was only an artillery piece, and I would blast it with units I would have used anyways and not think I was doing anything wrong, but then one recon, I got units that were in travel mode. And I blasted them. Hence what I now realize is the gamey part....

So I didnt set out to find a way to be gamey, I kind of evolved into it.
