Recon is usually my go to, because I love spotting flares, and I take note of how many other Recons there are often, because I like to play aggressively and also counter snipe from unexpectedly close ranges, and it’s really like 3-4 dedicated Recons on the other team and 1-3 players that switch back and forth. On small maps cut that number in half.

[Its better to limit snipers on each map](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/its-better-to-limit-snipers-on-each-map/107222/105)

Ps4 here. A couple of recent examples in that post above. Had 15 on my team on Aerodrome yesterday, hardly a spot flare to be seen.

I will reiterate that people can play how they like but I’m less sure why you buy a game like battlefield to not even think about the team as a whole.

I should also add that recon played well is immensely powerful and great to have on your team.
