Scout plane in blood alone

[Mr T]

I cant seem to build a scout plane in blood alone, all parts make scouting unavalible

I put camera on it but cant deplot it, cosue i need to select a primary tool but that cant be the camera, and the others disable the scout role

The plane becomes a cas and other stuff, never becomes scout plane cosue I cant select the camera as primary

You have 2 options:

1) make scout plane design - medium airframe with recon equipment in first slot

2) add recon equipment to eg smaill airframe with machinegun - it will nto be named recon but still able make mission

But how does that work? Should I still put things like self-sealing tank/armour/defensive turrets? Or will scout plane never face opposition?

Dedicated/single role scout planes can't be built on the light airframe IIRC. Use the medium one, it can take a camera in the primary slot.

They absolutely can be shot down. So either make a fighty scout (IE a fighter with a camera) or make it as cheap as possible. Also, range might be important depending on where you are and who you wanna scout over.

Oh, and afaik only unarmed, dedicated scout planes can be used to fly recon missions over countries you aren't at war with.
