From the bit I've read, both sides would probably only use jets on deeper recon, so it's probably up to the Bo-105s for the West Germans, and Hinds for the Soviets/WP.
Bo-105s definitely perform border recon/scouting, and attack missions.
Not sure Hinds perform similarly. My read on them is they're more for supporting attack missions of the ground troops, and their forward elements over the FEBA.
I guess they could perform recon sorties, especially with a few troops on board, but straight out ground attack sorties seem to me to be more likely, since I suspect they'll find they enemy, or vice versa, when they go looking for them.
The issue I've always struggled with in this is that when the balloon goes up, I suspect the communist attack to be far from subtle, so it's probably unlikely they'd spend much time dithering about. Their forces will be advancing quickly and forcefully, so I'm not sure their recon troops will be as far in advance of their main forces as some of the manuals seem to indicate, especially in the first hours or days of an attack.
Near the forward edge of the FEBA, I also suspect the recon elements for the Bundeswehr to be a bit larger, and more powerful, e.g. with their mixed Luchs and Leopard units, as opposed to just a platoon of the wheeled recon armor. Not sure I'm right on that though.
Would love to find some doctrinal manuals on their Cold War era plans, in English, since my German reading ability isn't what I'd like it to be.
