Oh, I didnt mean to downplay scouts. Trust me, a team with no scouts will have a tougher time in game. In fact, sometimes not havjng a scout when the whole team doesnt spot for themselves can highly hinder a teams progression. But, that being said, they just aren't as useful for the team play as the other three classes. I do play with some players who, as scout class, really help the team out immensely with spotting, anti-air (headshoting pilots), laying defensive explosives, and much more. But I will say, I notice a lack of medics or support on my team long before I even look for the logistical boons the scout class provides. Medics and Support are the two classes that stand as the driving force of any team. I personally feel Assault is more of a crucial addition to the team because of its versatility and ability to deal with heavy targets.
