Most experienced recon squads can get 60-100+ kills per game. They also travel behind enemy lines and take nodes, kill artillery operators etc. More recon would be terrible.
Then you have new recon users who dont put in the hard work, dont dismantle garries or find OPs, dont kill artillery and never report findings to the commander.
All in all though. They wont add more, its the most powerful weapon in the game.

recon is astonishingly powerful when played right

3 or more recon squads means at least 1 squad camping each HQ

While I would like to see them add a way to give others a chance to play recon roles vs a race to hit the button, adding more recon squads will end poorly for all sides involved.
As it stands, even with 2 recon squads per side, we still have players who forgo teamwork and play like a lone wolf (focusing only on the kills and not winning the game), as well as players who will only want the role of sniper and not spotter. From experience, I filled a spotter role on a recon team, and the sniper player absolutely refused to work with me or listen to what the commander needed of us.
The role is insanely strong when utilized right with the team, adding more will just cause more lone wolf's and less teamwork, which is what this game is heavily focused on.

Dont add more just make the recon squads bigger. 2 men is not a squad. It should be 3 or 4 realistically. But its fine how it is right now

That means more sniper rifles on the field. Again, one of the most powerful weapons in the game and you all want more. Not gonna happen.

I dont mean more snipers. I mean make actual recon squads with more than just a sniper and spotter. Right now its a sniper team, not a recon squad.

No, just because you want to use sniper doesn't mean we should have infinite recon teams.

Well yeah. I think 4 man is fine. One SL a Sniper and 2 others. Recon squads irl weren't just 2 ppl. There should be more. 2 squads of 4 people is much better. I don't see more squads being viable unless they raise the player limit to 60 per team

So, just to put out there, snipers and recon (reconnaissance) are two completely different things during WW2. Snipers (US, Britain, and Germany) were in teams of 2 (exception being Russia with 3 man teams and switching between spotters among them). Recon was never ment to engage the enemy and relay info back to the team (I don't know how this concept of recon has to fight came around to be honest.).
Either way, the size of the sniper team is historically accurate, which is what this game strives to do and is the reason why it grew as popular as it has (in my opinion). Adding more sniper teams will cause issues and adding more slots to the sniper teams takes away from the stealth aspect they are supposed to be utilizing with a 2 man team.

No way, recon squads are "special" and should stay rare.
Want to play as recon? Buy an SSD or find a friend with SSD, or play in some clan.

No, nope, please don't
You're putting even more scopes into each side, and they surely rock. A good sniper with an FG can hold entire squads by just headshotting anyone that dares to peek

nah 2 squads is enough 4 snipers is just right

what wanting a recon sized recon group is dumb ? its a recon squad not a sniper team unless they changed that

and squads are called platoons despite only being 6 players.
Game has plenty of mistakes in its technicalities. From a gameplay standpoint, 2 person recon squads are enough
