(Answered) Recon Camera
« on: 14 February 2019, 03:42:49 »
Tac Ops Errata version 3 page 65.

The entry says that the Recon Camera can be carried externally on a hardpoint. Can Recon Cameras carried by VTOLs in this way and if so, can the VTOLs use the recon camera to detect hidden units? Can they be used to detect hidden units when mounted in the VTOL?

Thanks

VTOLs are ground units, and so follow the part that reads "instead allows the unit to act as a spotter for LRM indirect fire (see p. 111, TW) against a single target per turn and still make a weapon attack or spot for artillery (at normal visual ranges) with no additional to-hit penalty."
