The creature reports the coordinates of an enemy within Line of Sight to friendly forces, inflicting Spotted!.
This action requires a Long-Range Radio in the case of foot soldiers, but having Binoculars helps a lot, as it increases Spotting Range by one measure. Infantry cannot Spot without a Long-Range Radio.
The maximum Spotting Range of a unit is based on its PER attribute. Do note that the following table establishes a maximum Spotting Range.
| PER | Spotting Range (Infantry + Vehicles vs Infantry) | Spotting Range (Infantry w/ Binoculars & Vehicles vs Vehicles) |
| 1-6 | ||
| 7-10 | ||
| 11-14 | ||
| 15-18 | ||
| 19-21 |
Some vehicle classes are suited to reconnaissance missions. They are always considered to possess some form of high-power optic and a long-range radio. However, because of the inherent difficulty in spotting a smaller target, their effectiveness against other vehicles is unchanged, but it is more difficult for them to spot infantry. Well-trained and camouflaged infantry can often employ the local terrain to close in on oblivious armoured forces and destroy them using their superior manoeuvrability, handheld anti-tank weapons and sheer numbers. Combined arms win wars.
The following vehicles can always perform this action:
