Since this thread was 'bumped' back to the top, I thought I'd throw in a couple of comments
Three types of satellite systems are in the game: Recon, Communicaitons, and Missile Defense.
Communicatons increases the efficiency of your military operations and units.
Recon improves your line of sight/spotting map-wide (sorry, no positioning satellites or daily 'sweeps' of coverage).
MDI is used to improve the chances of intercepting ICBM's and similar missile attacks.
Launching satellites requires researching the technologies, and building a launch pad (if you don't already have one).
Anti-Satellite weapons are not part of the game any longer.

Ehh just improves LoS? It would be nice if we had the option to snapshot certian areas of the map durign a given time of day like we could in real life or order a satellite to constantly orbit over a given area of the earth this would be great esp during war. As it stands I dont think id be using the satellite much?

While it might not be as realistic given a specific single event (ie, possibly trying to 'avoid' satellite detection by moving units in between the satellite passes), given the 'averages' of multiple satellites in the sky, and the fact that over a period of a couple of days you get full coverage, this works pretty well.Baloogan wrote:Could we get this in a patch? your sats arn't realistic now
Obviously the more satellites in the sky, the better recon improvements you get.

altho if you think about it...a covert op to bring down a sat, would only be a temporary measure, as the satelite wouldnt be fully taken out of operation...unless there was a self destruct button
altho temporary sat down-time can still give an opposing player the advantage of crossing an un-protected border due to worsened los
