You are nothing but a target in one.

The sim is not sufficiently realistic enough to make using them anything but a suicide mission.

I did manage to hold off two A6M3s in the Stinson in an online campaign for several minutes. It was fun, but the outcome was never in doubt.

Even the largest of maps in the sim tend to concentrate the action in one or two areas, hence there is no where to hide, and certainly no where to run at 100 mph.
As a flyable it'd be almost pointless but as an immersion factor in campaigns and single missions having recce aircraft can be very useful. Especially if a recce aircraft can be set to operate as an artillery spotter. Mission objectives could be to protect the spotter aircraft on it's mission from enemy aircraft... that sort of thing.

But your right... as a flyable... doesn't work in very many situations.
