Hello everyone!

I’ve been messing around with commander mode and have been enjoying it quite a bit. My only question is that I’m not quite sure the effect of the EMP UAV on ground units are.

I haven’t noticed a commander using them when I am playing, so I’d like to know more about what they do in order to better use them for the troops on the ground.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You use it when you see an enemy commander use a UAV. Put it iver their UAV and it negates it. It has a longer recharge then the UAV so you can only use it about once per 3 or 4 UAVs used. I dont think it has any effect on ground troops

Does it screw up spotting 3D map for those units or just the data from uav?

Like the dudes that say “Spotted an enemy tank north of your position”

I thought that it blocked comms for the people that were underneath? As you get points when you deploy the EMP
