Could we maybe clarifiy Recce on the public server a bit?

Also I would like to mention that I am not against having a sniper & spotter team on the public, even while I personally dont really like it.

Do we want to define Recce as a recon team or just as the usual sniper & spotter team? I think that we use both terms combined right now can be confusing and can cause some frustration.

The Recce team is supposed to be Reconnaissance, rather than Sniper x Spotter setup. Don't know why there's a sniper and spotter role for the team, maybe because it's the RM, but army-wise it's usually just someone with the L129A1 and an SA80.

But I guess it's just to add a little bit more entertainment for the people in the slots, giving the option to snipe people from long distances and pretend to be the next Craig Harrison :p Rather than just the "Oh look enemy, mark it on the map and wait for Infantry and or a Whiskey to demolish them"

Although the roles are interesting to use and quite effective when played correctly, they're a tad unnecessary on the public server I'd say (much like a mortar or HMG team really). As the objectives and player count is constantly changing, the need/use for a recce (or any support team really) is fairly limited at best. Additionally, they really do require a player to enjoy the patience of the role - which is a bit tricky to find on a public setting. 

The snipers last role is actually shooting things as most people don't have a clue what the snipers role is actually about, but hey its the public.

Very much depends on who is in that slot at the time really.

There's also a danger of adding in a recce element, as this inevitably is viewed as some elite section, that has the authority to act in isolation.  Rarely, for the reasons given by Arka and Nemiuk, is any actually recce performed.

If you want a recce element, its best just to slot in an different section, and agree the role with the 1-0

The roles we have currently have been refined over the years through trial and error on the public server.
We have tried FSG, BPT, Recce Section, Special Forces. All of them resulted in "elite" squads for those special players that essentially don't like team work.
The sniper/spotter role can be played in what ever way is desired - there are no hard and fast rules for the public server on the role play aspect - recce or sniping is acceptable as long as it doesn't overtly ruin other players enjoyment.
By only having two slots it limits the damage that the lone wolf players (who will always pop up from time to time) can inflict on the server.

Sorting it now.  Should be up in 5-10 mins

EDIT: All servers updated with ACE 3.4.2.  

is it possible for a map change??
