- 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 - Posted on January 15, 2012

- The same idea from Doolittle's note applies to beaming of units. If you setPos an unit or a player, reveal (all) nearby objects and vehicles to make the interaction possible a lot quicker.

- 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.

Units that have been previously subjected to enableSimulation false; or enableSimulationGlobal false; may stay unrecognised for a long time even after simulation was re-enabled, returning objNull as cursorTarget. Force revealing units with reveal command usually solves the problem. For example:
{player reveal _x} forEach allUnits;
