- Doing proper recon or reconnaissance in Wargame Red Dragon is not easy. Let me help you with this guide.
In this video I explain how you can use the various recon units that are available in the game. Using recon effectively is a skill, so you can definitely learn it. It will only take some time, trial and error and patience ;).
Tip: create a motorized deck like I did and just practice with spotting ranges, stealth and combination of recon and artillery/airstrikes. It's the best way to dry-test your recon units.

I’m about 4 tutorials in. I own every war game but now I’m finally giving it the proper attention. Thank you for your comprehensive guides.
Same here lmao
Very clear and useful. Good pronunciation. Perfect! Thanks from France!
De rien Pascal! ;)
Wow, my head is smokin', but again an excellent lesson.
BTW:
1. "Luchs" is pronounced "Looks", as in the sentence "He looks at me."
2. (Off topic) You managed, that my very young and super-hyper-active cat always calms down now, when I/we listen to your unique kind of explanations. This never happened B4! ;)
Nipaporn P. LOL! I'm a cat whisperer now? Oh well, anything goes :)
pro tip : watch series at kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Reuben Armani Definitely, have been using kaldrostream for since december myself :D
@Reuben Armani Definitely, have been watching on kaldrostream for years myself :)
@Reuben Armani Yea, I've been using KaldroStream for since december myself :D
didnt come to my dumb head to spot with recon for artillery previously. thanks you!
The WARBOSS No worries mate :). Now you know.
thanks, it helps a lot, I feel like I'm in the Red Dragon University.
Awesome job. Thanks for doing this. I'm about 35-40 mins in
Great video, thanks a lot! Liked and subscribed!
Excellent guide, I never thought of the distinction between 'active' and 'passive' recon before. I always used to just choose units with the best recon ability and park them (choppers included!), but now I'll look into being a bit more aggressive with recon SF and tanks.
Have you got any more tips on getting a feel for spotting ranges, line of sight and so on? If you could post the export of your practice AI opponent deck would be great!
Glad to help Robert :).
To test spotting ranges I'd use an AI deck. Just create a deck of the opposite side to yours. Give them 1 command unit and some vehicles and/or tanks to test. Put it on easy and you have plenty of time to test.

Wow what a guide Thanks a lot
you are Awesome!
In "LUCHS" or "FUCHS" the "CHS" is more pronounciated like "KS" or "X".
The "U" is pronounciated like an double "OO" - just not stretched too long.
So Luchs is spoken like "LOOKS" (with the "OO" not too stretched out) (fʊks)
while Fuchs would be spoken like "FOOKS" (same as above applies) (lʊks)
To be precise the "U" is actually spoken stretched out depending on the combination of consonants and vocals: (Vocal-Consonant-Vocal)
For example "LUGER" is really spoken like "LOOGER"
Also if the vocal is doubled "UU" (that combination is rare) or
followed by "H" (which stretches the vocal in front of it) they are spoken long.
This usage applies to other Vocals to (A,E,I,O,U)
(short) LACHS : eng.salmon
(long) LAKE : eng. brine
(short) LECK : eng. leak
(long) LEDER : eng. leather
(short) LIPPE : eng. lip
(long) PISA : Italian town with crooked tower :-)
(short) LOCH : eng. hole
(long) LOTSE : eng: guide (mostly on sealanes)
helicopter borne recon squads are nice, but transport helicopters are easily spotted (can't travel through forests, just over them) and can only unload at the edges of forests, meaning your troops may have to walk further (a bit slower than aboard a transport)
Heliborne recon is most useful at the start of a match, I've found, as it allows you park spotters fairly far out before an AA net can be properly established.
love your channel... i just started this game about 10 days ago and if it werent for you, i d probably still be @ testing, how to summon units to the map...
just one tiny annotiation, since i m a german myself and heard you spell out 2 german words again and again:
"luchs" and "fuchs" are spoken "lux" and "fux", like "FOX" in english... fuchs actually is the german word for fox :D
i dont mind, its just really strange to listen to, cause your pronounciation sounds like the german words for "suck" and "broken" ;-) :D:D:D
keep up the great work dude, maybe when i beat the campaigns in like a decade or so, we end up in the same game some time :D

Thanks for your great explanation Elfwyn! It really helps :)
+Stealth17 Gaming luchs = pronunced Lux
fuchs = fux
Actually it's pronounced like the English word looks. The 2 dots above the u are umlauts, which modulate the u to sound like looks not lux. There is no English consonant sound like the ch sound in German so I wont try to describe it here, but if you pronounce it like an x that's pretty close.
German/English speaker here.. Luchs ... the 'u' sound is more like the 'oo' in moon. In the english word 'look' the oo is different. Its is shorter and not as strong. It is a precise analog to an o with an umlaut in German (ö).
Oh.. and super-excellent videos by the way.
Sir, you have the best tutorials on the web. Thank you.
Thanks, appreciate it :)
nicely explained Stealth
Welcome! :)
Really well done
Wow thank you. i really love the game. Im really impressed how deep actually the combat is. I just spamm units and try with force which is just crap but dont know better. seems like ill have to watch more guides. :)
But what when you play 10v 10 and there is plenty of money. then all just spam the sh it ???
Damn good job!!! Thanks
starting to learn basics
good tutorial :)
I know that vid is old but nicely done (sometimes just click recommendations I get from u even when they are old) and I wouldn't have commented (what I rarely do anyway), but it's so hilarious as a german to watch you pronounce the Luchs here. It sound like Lutsch... which actually is a german word. Which is best translated to suck... Nii P. already gave a good example how to pronounce it. And I think u already do in newer vids. But it was so good. I really had to comment. A late thumbs up and not only for the "Lutsch" XD I like your style in Vids. You're not one of those I can talk so fast as an MG english Let's players. What I really like. So one can comfortably have your vid running while doing something else.
You could have explained about radar jets and their spotting too but good video thanks for the infos
Bedankt man, heb het spel net gekocht, en ben het nu aan het leren, ik ken de basics van World in Conflict nog wel en dit lijkt er wel een beetje op. Je guids helpen er goed mee!
(Volgens mij kan ik in je accent horen dat je nederlands bent, geen zorggen je klinkt niet als Mark Rutten)
MattijnT Thanks! Ben inderdaad NL. Neem de tijd om Wargame te leren. Het is zo'n uitgebreide game dat je er zeker 100 uur mee bezig kunt zijn (zit zelf op 800 uur inmiddels). Laat het me weten als je vragen hebt!
Stealth17 Gaming Nou vooral of je misschien nog decks hebt, of waar ik die kan vinden. In de videos waar je decks maakt geef je die codes, maar om een of andere reden werken die niet
autocannons with 749 rpm 10% stabilizer=74 hits per minute=1.2 hits per second (but infantry are very small, so what's the real rate?)
Love your vids mate ! very helpful but I'm still shit LOL
So was I when I started. Just keep working at it.
The comment about only not blinking units can be seen is wrong for recons. All recons have medium and higher stealth and as such can shot out of forests which stops blinking and still be invisible to the enemy. I have tested it.
I don't think standard recon helicopters get a stealth buff; the alouette here has poor stealth
Is there any benefit to not using all the command points in a deck?
No. I always consider my deck like a toolkit: better to have a tool (unit) in there and not use it, than to go "crap, really needed a [unit/tool] right now!"
Huh...I thought blinking meant you were being spotted...
stealth it's called Luchs you say lucks or luks in german ...
Reminds me about Fred Fucks.
Руся Роджер What?
Stealth17 Gaming English speakers can't spell german word fuchs correctly. Fred Fucks is a joke from AVGN series.
Can spell it, can't pronounce it.
I disagree with you. Why would you transport your Militia BGS in a helicopter. If you are going to use them for passive scouting?
I use a helo to transport them over larger distances faster than a ground based vehicle can. Drop them off close to where you need them to be and tell them to start walking. Nowadays I usually use the sniper teams for the Germans though.
Sniper team definetly fits in a helicopter. I'd rather take Cheap recon in a cheap truck.
