I'm sorry if this was explained somewhere, but I've either forgotten or never saw it.

If I have air superiority over a state/air region, do my land units get a reconnaissance bonus in land combat?

I know there's a recon company that gives a recon bonus, I vaguely recall it helps my general to pick the right tactic. All that seems well-designed. If I have a Luftnachrichten wing in the air (I realise there's no such thing in the game or even a "recon mission" in air combat, so let's just assume this is a by-product of air superiority), operating without hindrance and telling my army HQ about the enemy's movements 5-10-15km away from its front, shouldn't that really improve the staff's decision-making when it comes to choice of manoeuvres?

Just wondering if that's in the game.

You can consider it already abstracted into the combat bonuses your units get with air superiority.
