The "true" recon gameplay
Let's be honest: most players that choose the recon class are just acting as longer ranged infantry, when there is so much more to the class in a certain playstyle.
Here's what I do when I play recon, and what I recommend doing for all recon players:
I have my OHK rifle, binoculars and a wrench.
I get into the most bullshit spots from where I can still overview the objective (at least 300m away for xp bonus) and precisely pick off targets I spot with the binoculars (great zoom with bigger FOV than the scope for spotting)
Ideally you can also still overlook the prior objective and get rid of enemies that flanked undetected and keep them from capping.
After a few kills you move and take a similar position somewhere else, best if you can still see your old position to potentially get someone that was trying to get you at your old spot.
Inform the team of everything you see that could become a problem, like an APC flanking or a specific tank coming to surprise. (If possible you can sometimes take care of the tank yourself if the driver happens to look out of the hatch)
Vice versa, read the team chat and try to take care of e.g. other snipers. Because you are the class that is meant to operate behind enemy lines and take care of problems nobody else can reach at that moment.
You have a motorbike, the fastest land vehicle in the game, make use of it and don't be afraid to take long routes to stay undetected.
This way I once had my team getting problems by a sniper in the watchtower at O2 in mountain town, so I spawned back at C1, drove over to the D Line on the left (not active in that battle) took position in the house on the hill at D3 and got rid of that sniper. Then I moved over to the hills on the other side of the river from where I could overlook O2 perfectly and pick off defenders from behind to clear resistance for an assault.
Those are just some random thoughts I had, I wish more people would play the recon actually tactical and not just be a sniper directly at the front that does absolutely nothing in terms of actual reconnaissance
