Maybe not instantly, for eg. my unit should not move for 1-2 turns while looking in that direction or maybe add some kind of special ability...
While I'd tend to agree that ATGMs, tanks, and other such stuff should probably be spotted after a shot or two ... even knowing for certain an infantry squad is in a 50x50m area is hardly the same as having them spotted well enough for aimed direct fire.

FO's really don't pay much attention to anything smaller then a platoon (unless it's shooting at them ).
Since their job is to hit target areas rather then specific targets.
I know this because I use to be one

As to snipers or scouts, yea, they should, and do get a bonus to spot stuff (check the game manual).
