To be fair only experienced snipers can do it and most of the time it leads to your death with the current game pace. Also recon is a contradiction as you are either forced to play long range or lose 50% effectiveness even before the game starts, from then its up to your skill to make a difference and most of the things you can do are situational which leads to new recon players to go for the camping play style.
Honestly I don't mind assault getting it but the implementation they have for most classes is terrible: If they are giving assault the becon make it their focus and probably add a path that focuses on leadership, I would like assault to be the only class that all classes are able to spawn to. This would allow them to capitalize in positioning, advancing, and infiltrating squads
Recon needs to swap its signature set with sniper path skills so that specs ops won't be a contradiction. TUGs are more of a spec ops gadget, they should give recon either the drone or laser designator as signature gadget as it would benefit both paths. Personally I would like the laser designator. I also would love to have the smokes back as I would usually use them to support the medics or retreat once I have pissed off enough enemy vehicles
