In OFP v1.96, When a target is revealed to a unit, its knowsAbout rating is set to 1, unless it was already more than 1 in which case reveal does nothing. See knowsAbout for more details about knowsAbout ratings and limitations.

Use reveal to allow client to see a created vehicle faster - the associated menu interaction will become available therefore, like the player has option to get in sooner. _tank = "M1A1" createVehicle (position player); player reveal _tank; // get in user actions become available instantly

Revealing a targetUnit will also add it to nearTargets database of the given sourceUnit. The quality/detail level of the info depends on the knowsAbout value used with reveal. More detail in the nearTargets page.
