The recon class is next to useless IMO. Although my top five guns in kills is the M39 EMR. It's useless for 5 reason.
 * 1. Has no anti vehicle weaponry: while the assaults have there grenade launchers that can destroy light vehicles and buggies, engineers have there RPGs and javelin and at mines, supports have there C4 and mortars, the recons have nothing to use against vehicle. They can try and snipe a pilot out of his buggy but that's pretty much it.
 * 2. The equipment. There MAVS Are now elevators on high places. There tugs are just pointless and the soflam is a joke( do to being only useful if anyone uses a javelin. Or guided missiles
 * 3. Lack of play style.assaults can choose to be a medic or a assault from bf2 W/ def. Engineers can trade out there RPG's for javelins and they can use either a repair tool for repairs or AT mines for nasty surprises supports have there C4 for blowing shit up, mortars for bombardment and claymores for AP reasons, the recon is forced to use a radio beacon and 3 other stupid equipment.
 * 4 the useless nerfs, these were unnecessary I hate 3 sec. Of steadiness, they are forced to be half way across the world to snipe someone.
