Stop trying to ignore the rest of the world. Problem solved. You can't operate tanks that way.
Along your line of reasoning, I don't want to be vulched. I want a magic ack buddy to follow me down the runway and isnta-gib anybody that dives on me before they can shoot 1 round near me. No, you know what? Have them magically fly along with me. Have the wirb match my spitfire or 109's exact manuvers shooting anybody that gets on my rear quarter automatically.
Yeah... Because that's what you're asking for, only for GVs. You see how selfish that is?
Frankly I'm beginning to think HTC made a bad move adding ANY GVs at all, what with all the "STOP KILLING ME!!!!" cries/wishes/posts/whines in the past weeks alone.
Here's the deal, unless you've been in a Ground Vehicle enough - its really tough to say what the rest of us have been going through. Problems can be solved, assuming someone wants to correct the problems. What most tankers in Aces high will agree on is there is room for improvement and it could in fact be a pretty nice addition to the Ground War.
If HTC only wanted Aircraft's, it would probably lose out on quite an opportunity to expand the game even further.
Now saying that, If you spent an entire tour in a tank you can see some of the limitation and frustrations most tankers deal with, if its not someone flying 4 sectors in Lancs to carpet bomb you, its hills you can easily flip over on, Trees that with the slightest touch can flip you, or stop you either way, and finally certain spawns that can be easily camped by a few that could stop an entire horde of tanks.
Those whining about the situation really are not helping, while some here talking about "GV drones" are looking to find a reasonable measure to the problem at hand.
/GV Drones? I really am not going to touch this, in my opinion loss of Icon range for aircraft would probably be the best quick fix for Ground vehicles, not an entire loss, but as described before make the range limited so someone has to actually spot and target the vehicle.
