Mostly right there chap, to get used to it - try this:
1] Use a 109 fighter variant (no bombs - bullets/cannons are fine).
2] Check your TAB - 4-6 for ground targets - it will list areas for recon if no targets have been uncovered/revealed.
3] Fly to the suggested areas, at 22k feet/6.5km (not sure on the KM part).
4] TAB 4-9 to take a "photo" - you can take as many as you want, but no quicker than 15 seconds between each one.
**Server chat window will confirm it has spotted stuffs, or it will state you weren't high enough etc**
**Each time you take a picture, you potentially could uncover more targets as you move across the Recon Zone.**
**You can fly upside down and recon will still work. No need for steady or slow flight.**
5] Land, alive at an airfield on your side.
**Server chat will confirm your recon has been sent to command, just after the server says you landed safely at a friendly base**
6] There is no 6
7] Collect cookies.
**If targets you recon get destroyed - cookies are given**
I hope this helps fella
