Disposable recon. Cover approaches you can't spare an agent for with those while making your sweep, leave them at the front to be shot at and spot enemies, especially at night.
Well, that's what I'd
think they're for. The weight, deployment cost and the general issue that if you have so few men in your skirmish line that you need markers to plug the gaps, you don't have the time or men to spare for playing with the things - which has meant that I've never really found a niche for them myself, except perhaps as a luxury to play around with when I'm already winning.
The blurb also says they have
anticamo, like drones, but that
's was a filthy lie.
They have a moderate amount of
camo, which really doesn't do them a lot of good.
