Overview

The 'Night Owl' Series Recon Vehicle, otherwise known as the Recon Vehicle, is a trainable vehicle unit in Battle Nations. It provides average Offense and Defense, and is a relatively inexpensive motorized unit.

The Recon Vehicle offers decent firepower with above-average offense (for a multi-hit attack) and range. Its high defensive stats, coupled with a modest damage reduction against and damage types, give it an extra degree of survivability. Its machine gun attack can target flying units, which allow it to dispatch low-level aircraft like the Sopwith Spiderwasp, but it is poorly matched against armored ground units.

Once the player is above level 20 or so, the Recon becomes less valuable compared with units with greater firepower and armor (e.g. Snipers and Tanks).

Players can get a free Recon in the mission Rescue to the Recon. Another can be obtained during The Siege of Marin. Derelict Recon Vehicles can be found in various locations, which provide a few Gold if raided by the player. However, they cannot be recovered like the wreck in the Rescue to the Recon mission.
