Idea for a new defensive skill: Defensive scan

Although I prefer offense over defense, I feel that defending is more difficult than attacking when both players are at a similar level.
However, I don’t believe weakening units is a only satisfying solution for balancing combat.

Currently, attackers can use a recon plane to scan a specific area and deal additional damage but defenders do not have a such option.
To address this imbalance, I suggest introducing a similar mechanic for defenders.

For example, certain defensive buildings such as the Castle or Drone Command scan a selected area of attacking troops.
Invaders within the scanned area would take increased damage from defensive towers, traps and defensive units for a limited time.

This 'defensive scan' might focus on area with highest HP unit just like Missile Silo do or area where invading troops are most concentrated.

This would give defenders a more strategic tool and attackers to adapt their strategies—using the detachment more carefully, spread their forces or using protection tactics. As a result, it would increase the strategic difficulty of attacking without simply nerfing troops directly.

If this idea has already been discussed in this forum, I apologize. I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this idea.
