This post isnt about spawn camping. And yes you are correct dropping eggs takes skill. My point is that enemy GV's are too easy to spot from the sky because of the red icon. Why did they remove the icon from being seen on enemy Gv's when your in a GV? I just say do the same with planes.
Try dropping on tanks without that distance icon may take more skill I think.
Icons fill a function that monitors cannot replicate. For planes OR GVs. You look at a car 2 lanes over and 4 cars ahead and you might be able to make out it's a Ford Explorer (or whatever), but if it were a game it'd be a square with blurry textures. Especially if it's moving. You can pick out a high level of detail with the human eyeball. You can't do that with computer games. You also can't tell depth perception, range, on a single 2D monitor. Icons serve a very real and very specific purpose in-game. The ONLY reason the GV icons show up at 1.5 is because GVers whine about planes attacking them. The reverse is not true: Wirbles and Osty see planes at 6K, and can land shots out well before their target knows they are even there.
It's a double standard, and all it does is serve to feed GV whiners that want all icons removed so they can hide and kill without fear of opposition. Sorry if I've come off a bit grumpy on the matter, but it's an issue that's been growing (from the vocal GV minority) for a long time.
P.S. I'm for icons on gvs from other GVs as well, but for the sake of icons giving away positions behind hills, etc, I don't see a way that it would work well.
