Radio range
How far a vehicle can pass what it sees to its team, which is what makes a spot useful to anyone else.
Also known as signal range, comms range.
Spotting alone is not enough: the information has to reach the team. Radio range sets the distance over which a vehicle shares its vision, and it relays through allies, so a chain of vehicles keeps a distant scout connected.
At modern tiers radios comfortably cover the whole map, so it only becomes visible as a problem on low-tier vehicles or when a scout ends up alone in a far corner.
