Was playing a game where I have invested in lots of recon tanks early and while I have the units I've having trouble spending the resources to upgrade them further. The Air Assault feature seems cool but without the ability to take territory that feature seems wasted. The unit to pair them with is the airborne inf but then you have to micro them all the time since they move at a snails pace with normal move orders.
What if you could combine a single recon and a single airborne together to get a unit that moved at the normal recon speed? This perk would only apply if the stack was 1 airborne inf and 1 recon. Mixing other units or more than one would make the perk go away. I think it'd be a lot of fun to be able to use these two units together to get a unit that could air assault and then take territory with standard move orders effeciently.
Plus it would give people a reason to use recon as something other than an early rush unit. Imo that's really all you need it for. I'd rather have AFV's in mass because they can handle armor if you run into that, they have a bit more HP's and they have good air defense.
A simpler solution could be to let the recon tank conquer territory but I think the combo idea would be more fun and might make 2 units more useful in the game versus 1.
