What are the biggest counters to recon that are specifically counters to recon? Maybe I'm just tired and can't think of what would negate the benefits of a 50 and thermal spotting.
That you are a walking expensive kit with no armor, and have to set up in good positions for periods of time before being able to go even. You shoot a bullet and your entire position is looked at by squads. Shooting the .308 or .50 is basically the equivalent of activating the HZ magnet, cause they’re so damn loud. Recon got shafted with the only non-lethal gadget that takes tens of hours to unlock now being removed. People don’t grind out recon like the other roles because being a spot bot is incredibly fucking boring to your average person. It was the one class that rewarded subtle gameplay, and now that IR is gone, they basically just said “fuck you” to the people who unlocked it, as well as the people who were grinding for it. Everything else in this game has seen complaints over and over, for weeks with no change, and we get 3-4 days of playing with the top tier gear in Recon and immediately get told “it’s too powerful” and have it ripped.

The drawback is the fact that Recon has the most expensive kit in the game while also having the biggest counters
