Recon class is good and not useless at all! It seems like a rage bait post, and it also looks like you don't know how to use it. I am personally using it, and I love it. I have seen lots of people doing great with it.
What is Recon's best weapon class?
It depends on the person. If he/she is good with sniper, then sniper, if assault/dmr, then that. It is not like the class is doing something with your weapon; rather, the class system is more or less related to the playstyle. So, don't embarrass yourself further and stop this nonsense.
I do agree that recon is a good class but its implementation is really bad when you compare it to other classes. Sniper path has a ground to stand on with the skills given but other than that it can't compete. While spec ops path is completely overshadowed by the sniper. Most of it feels like an afterthought or catering to players that don't like stealth tactics.
I do like to switching my play style with recon. I enjoy sabotaging vehicles and setting traps for infantry while spotting enemies for my allies but if you take a closer look at other classes, it is insane how overpowered they are getting. Not raging as this has been happening for years but the post is right in pointing it out, to find a better solution like with auto spotting. As a sniper player i like the mechanic but as a battlefield player (not just me) this was broken and I'm glad is getting nerf (would prefer removing it as this should be a human skill not automated). At the end of the day all we can do is point out issues and let it run its course.
Ps. Stealth class that can't hide or remain hidden by game design it can't be anything else but broken or flawed
