Reconnoiter waypoint?
 

I know what reconnoiter means, but has anyone figured out what the reconnoiter waypoint does in-game. There's nothing in the game manua baout this waypoint type.

Just as I thought. Another mystery for the mission builders to figure out :(

Maybe as the term means, the waypoint and area around it is surveyed for information.

For example, if the waypoint is on an enemy base, objects and items belonging to the enemy is made available by location to your side "ie they show up on a map"

Maybe it just makes aircraft to fly straight and level as if doing aerial photography similar to bombing run waypoint.
