You say no LRRP units, but these Warsaw Pact units where in fact LRRP units with recon as primary task. The NATO LRRP units has the same tasks.

NATO
LRRPs conduct passive, deep penetration (up to 150km) intelligence collection missions. Once inserted, the Patrols establish well-concealed observation posts placing enemy routes under surveillance and reporting their movements. Other LRRP missions include point, area, and route reconnaissance. It must be emphasised that LRRPs do not conduct direct action missions. Their role is to collect and report information while undertaking extreme measures to remain undetected by the enemy and civilians.

WARSAW PACT
Each Warsaw Pact tank and motor rifle army (also Polish and Czechoslovakian) had such a company. According to WP doctrine they were supposed to act over 40 km behind front line (depth less than 40 km was reserved for divisional recon units). Main tasks included secret recon, sabotage and attacking NATO HQs and Lance units.

yes u r correct in that there main mission was recon but they did have secondary missions that included direct action and the NATO LRRPs did not on everything i could find. The values are different between the 2 types with the range reduced to 1 which makes it alot less survivable in direct action missions and should help keep the player from using them for that purpose or risk losing them quickly.
