This is a very effective way to use 120 scouts in GBIIs.

T5 scouts are not allowed in Kaiser FL, nor is it probably going to be allowed anytime
soon because it is very easy to scout with them.

So you think its skill for being able to click more controlling your T5 scout away from fighters. And for what its
worth, I have played in the YO FL and saw how stupid the usage of T5 scouts are. It removes the ability to
blind an opponent as they have too great sight range/fuel/speed/durability.

So I'm not making silly claims without knowing what its like.

As fara said...T5 scout are OP in GBs...in FL, FB is no so easy to scout agains good
enemys CVs, AAs...

This is my opinion based on experience from YO FL where T5 scouts were allowed.
I would like to see some FL battles in actual Kaiser league where allow T5 scouts
too...It wil be nice comparing scouting with this T5 scout in two different league.

For some people who said that with T5 scouting is too easy I can say that with T5
scout you need more skill to make enemy blind...

Lol.

OP Content. 100% Easy mode. It takes the ability to blind an opponent out of the game. Use
real scouts that don't have OP Speed/Durability/Fuel/Sight Range.

Well all I am trying to imply in this thread is it is a nice tactic to have and to know,
especially for GB play.

Apmonte is right in that they are overpowered but he is also wrong in his blunt assumption
that it's use its easy mode to win.

T5 scouts like i said earlier when loitering will engage anything that even comes close,
controlling 2 waves in the air requires a fair amount of concentration especially in HA's
to prevent them from "wondering off" to engage other planes.

Also good CV players with US/IJN fighters will catch your UK/IJN/KM scout ergo play good
scout players cant allow your scouts to be simply caught. For the rest of the CV nations
they will attempt to hit your planes head on. Sure scouting is alot easier with a T5
scout, especially in GB2 but in Fleet Leagues and HA's if the other CV is dedicated to
killing your scouts it's not as easy as monte makes it.

120 scouts are dumb. Totally overpowered and need to be reworked. Implying skill is necessary to use them
is foolish.

At least it wont change altitude when engaging other aircraft.
And you dont have to spam click to drag it away.

If the scout is US/IJN or you only have UK/KM/MN T4 fighters you have to attack scouts
head on at the same altitude, it's the only real chance of success.

Which means if you have a T5 scout you have to micro it so it never attacks planes head
on. Also it's worth mentioning when a T5 scout reaches it's destination it has a rather
large engagement range and will literally attack anything that comes into it's range,
behaves more like a T1 fighter than a scout, which means it's require alot of micro to
keep it in place and not let it wonder off.
