Extended profile
The UAV operator is the all-seeing eye in the sky for all ground troops. Using unmanned aircraft, such as the Greyhawk and Darter, the UAV operator can perform reconnaissance flights without the risk of personnel casualties. When optimally used it proves to be of significant value for ground troops by providing information about what lies ahead.
Much like the sniper and spotter you have the ability to provide accurate intel about enemy presence and behavior. With the added value that if you get spotted and/or shot down you will not sustain personnel casualties since you do not have to be physically at the area of operations to do your reconnaissance flights.
One way to easily deploy your unarmed drone or Darter without losing valuable flight time, is to load the UAV backpack into a helicopter and ask a squad that is moving out on a mission to deploy the UAV when they have reached their landing zone. That way you can provide real-time information about enemy movements.
When called in by a squad leader to perform a bombing run it is essential that both yourself and the squad leader confirm that your targets are static. You will be inefficient against moving targets and should never engage soft targets. Mostly, you will be receiving a designated target from the squad leader himself. If he does not have the capability to designate the target for you, you can use your unarmed Darter to provide the designation signal and switch to your armed Greyhawk to lock on to the target signal and engage it.
