Summarize your bug The plane spotting cameras do not work at all, no enemies will be spotted, no points awarded. This was tested and found true for the Allied Blenheim MkI and the Axis Ju-88C. Ammo reload works normally.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Take plane with spotting camera, use spotting camera.
What happens when the bug occurs? You get the audio-visual cue from the spotting camera, ammo is also used. But no enemies are spotted, no points will be awarded.
What should be happening instead? Enemies should be spotted, points should be awarded.
EDIT 06.September 2019: I think that Patch 4.4 patched this problem. The Blenheim MkI Camera now works about 80% of all tries, I think. I have not tested the other planes, yet. Thank you, DICE! I just hat some enjoyable strafing runs!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey @EA_Blueberry , as of 06. September 2019 I think the bug has been fixed with the most recent patch 4.4. Only had time to test the Blenheim Mk I camera yet, not the other planes, but I think it now works as intended. Thx a lot to the whole team! I (and some guys on the enemy team ) had blast!

Blenheim MKI is unaffected

I found it when using Ju88c and since I haven't tried other planes, I cannot tell whether it malfunctions on all planes. I posted this issue on twitter and someone works for EA help replied to my tweet, hope they could fix it for the next patch ASAP as I earn most of the pilot points by spotting and spot assist LOL......

They also need to fix the visibility of spotted players from the air as well.

What specializations are you all using? If you can post a screenshot that would help because we've seen some issues like this related to specialization in the past.

What sucks is if you are Tier 3 trying to unlock Tier 4 on the JU-88C.
Spotting camera doesn't work so your plane is basically useless and you can't reset specializations until level 4... but good luck getting to level 4 because your plane is garbage. You have to resort to trying to strafe infantry and down planes. Which, given that load out and the hit registry bugs, hasn't been the easiest to accomplish.

Same here, i unlock the spotting camera perk with the JU 88 C and it's not working.
I'm stuck with this * and i can't remove it because i'm not lvl 4 with this plane, thanks DICE
