Thanks Charcoal :)

@Yuri: You've got good points about the MAV which I missed. With the Motion Mines you can throw them and forget about them, but they last a short amount of time. The MAV lets you spot enemies, take out enemy equipment, and has a motion sensor built in. You can leave it unattended, but I think all it does is sit there (haven't used it in a month). I think the Motion Mines are more suited for aggressive Recons.

I think the Recon kit would be better in BF3 if they had equipment that was better suited for long range. Like the mortars from BC2. That was something else to do while camping at the edge of the map.
