Abilities

  • Detects covert air units (stealth helicopters, B2 bombers) within its detection radius, with a chance to reveal them on each scan.

Counters

Recon Drone has no hard counters and is not a hard counter to anything, it trades on raw stats.

Hard-countered units take extra losses and cannot retaliate against the unit countering them. See Units#Counters for the full matrix.

Production

Trained at the Aircraft Factory. Build time, cost and upkeep depend on the tier (see Stats).

Recon Drone uses no ammunition.

Movement and transport

As an air unit it can fly over any terrain, land or sea, within its air range.

Stealth and detection

Recon Drone detects covert air units (Stealth Helicopter, B2 Bomber) within its detection radius, with a chance to reveal them on each scan.

Detection is rolled once per detector scan, every 10 minutes; a successful roll reveals the army for 30 minutes. Fighting always reveals it. The research focus Detection Radius widens detection ranges. See Stealth and Detection.

Tips

  • The dedicated air detector: without one (or an AWACS / Strategic Radar) you cannot see stealth helicopters or B2 bombers coming.
