No. if im correct then special forces when against enemy territory are stealth or invisible until they get into combat when stationary they are not in combat so they will remain stealth until they engage enemy or enemy engages them

I thought that Special Forces units were not visible when stationary in the field.
I had a level one UAV fly near a stack of Special Forces and saw them.
The units were just standing there, not moving.

I had not noticed that capability before.
That is a very potent attribute for a starting unit.
Why yes, if you allow the foe to exploit your weakness, then few units are worthy.Buckeyechamp wrote:
Only value uav would have is if they are stealth; which they are not.
Personally, I use embedded fighter escorts, and monitor the area while the recon mission in active.Buckeyechamp wrote:
And exactly how are you going to utilize uav to reveal enemy units without coming into enemy territory with a defenseless unit allowing me to easily shootdown?

Most experienced players do not waste resources on UAVs. And no one would ever call it a powerful unit; in fact probably the least powerful unit in game.

well NO! uavs are pretty cool units that can be produced VERY early why upgrade airbase that high early!
+ getting one shot declares war I can scan a lot across the seas obviously this ain't optimal but saves a lot of initial investment
- need a lot of activity to keep flying around for vision
usually I use special forces Before declaring war checking his air bases and such so if he sees them I wouldn't one shot we probably would talk about why I did that and go diplomacy

if you feel you are strong enough to attack me...take your chance and do it fast...if you pop up with am uav...and you did not come to my attention before that action you most certainly get it. I will not attack you the second the uav is above my cities...that would be stupid...i will visit your homeland...and when i am ready to strike..i first kill you uav and the make landfall.
