Speaking from my experience only

I have worked alone, and a spotter, both have advantages and both have dissadvantages, which have been covered.

I personally prefer the 2 man recon/sniping team simply because both of you cover each other off, one watches the 12oclock and the other 6 oclock, one eats, the other observes, one takes a piss, the other observes their acrs of fire, etc. As an airsoft sniper team, both of you have to know each other well, at least well enough to know each other's weaknesses and help each other out. Once both of you work well together and within your squad, you can literally dominate the situation, if you do it right, theres alot of examples of this. My spotter and I work extremely well together, I dont have to look back to see if he is doing his job, and vise versa, or tell him what to do. Sometimes having a 3 man team is beneficial, if the operation dictates that requirement. It comes down to the operation and the commanders intent, and ultimatley what he wants to achieve in the end.

a recon/sniper team are best employed during a milsim event, more so during those 24hr events, these events offer plenty of time for the sniper team to conduct its operations, and its obviously the situation to employ such teams.

As for sending your 2 man recon team behind enemy lines, thats what recon is about, they are your teams eyes and ears, you can operate without intel, but not as effective with the intel on the enemy your fighting. Make sure your recon team are above average in terms of tactics, concealment, etc. The recon team undetected behind enemy lines is just as good as eliminating members of the opposing force. However once detected, they are useless, and just compromised the entire team.

Thats my 2cent
