It would be great if there was an actual tool you could use to spot such things, unlocked on a recon branch of the commander skill tree, that pin points targets on the map much like the current reveal enemies and shows them to your squad. Perhaps by levelling up the skill tree you could unlock the current blanket reveal enemies that covers a large area with a cool down.
I really like this idea.

See in my head the PS2 style bft system, you as the sniper would be in enemy territory. You spot a platoon worth of tanks setting up to defend a territory of resources and a mine field being laid down. You take out the tool and take the picture of the tank platoon and mine field. It then relays it to your commanders bft system which he then uploads and it becomes available on every commanders bft system so everyone is aware that there is a platoon tanker element there and also where the mine field is. The attack is then coordinated and the territory becomes conquered due to your recon of the area.
There are five major things that people pick out during recon; size, activity, location, uniform, time, equipment (salute)
I think the tool should be able to do this as well. Count the size of the soldiers in the picture, activity may be hard since the cpu probably cant tell if they are defending or attacking etc., grid location and relay it to the bft system, uniform meaning tr nc or vs, time of when the recon was made because recon does become outdated and equipment like 3 prowlers 2 skyguards 1 ams
