Right now the game is using torpedo bombers for recon too often for my tastes (despite Floatplane option turned on in Doctrines) leaving me with decimated bomber force for actual strikes. Now, I do realize that sometimes floatplanes don't have range and that bomber and other aircraft are only ones available for recon.
Also it seems that AV tenders never get included in the fleet setup after certain time.
So I am suggesting that we get designated reconnaissance carrier aircraft just as they were IRL ( Fairey III, Vickers Viking III in ww1 or Nakajima C3N-1 in WW2) as a separate aircraft sqd role and aircraft type utilizing existing mechanism that are already in-game.
They could be in priority order just below floatplanes but above the use of the rest of the aircraft for recon duties?
Intermediate alternative being using existing aircraft, but by making them ready for recon, being prioritized in the scheduling for that initial phase of scouting (not preferred by me because this is yet another manual step).
