Turn Off Icons for Enemy GV's. WISH

[Karnak]

A Mobelwagon would be about as bad as the Wirbelwind from my perspective, given the current situation.  I usually don't engage in air-to-ground work, yet I have been killed many times by AA vehicles that inserted themselves into my air-to-air dogfight.  In that circumstance the durability of the AA vehicle matters not a whit.

GVers complained vociferously, and still do, about aircraft interfering with GV fights, but they object to any suggestion on ways to reduce the interference of AA vehicles in air-to-air fights.  I am pretty fed up with them and seriously considering active anti-tank operations using aircraft.  The only thing that stops me is knowing most of the actual GV players are not the guys posting and it wouldn't be fair to condemn them for statements they may not support.

The problem here (IMO) is building error on error.  Wirbles and Osti's are far to easily available IMO.  They should be perked at least to some extent. I know perking is not historical but these rides were rare yet here they are in AH as the first weapon of choice. Only 200 combined of these were ever made and they never left Germany.

At least the Mobelwagen saw sustained use with its near fully open top as did the Crusader III AA, and M16.  Each of these should be as easy to take out with air borne cannon as a field based ground gun IMO.

Further equipping the IL2 with its main air to ground weapon (the PTAB) would seriously redress any idea that the balance would ever be in favour of the ground element.

Assuming that there could ever be balance in an air v ground engagement.

In the presence of enemy ground attack aircraft the overriding requirement to achieve balance was the presence of friendly intercepter fighter aircraft...... Not IMO some massed or deadly accurate Xwing type ground defence based upon stuff that hardly saw service.

Neither IMO should balance be reached through the use of illuminated magic icons lighting up the locations of freindly or enemy vehicles beyond what may have been visible in the heat of combat.

Unlike the other perked vehicles though, the wirblewind can't take a beating.  If it was perked it should be low, like the m18   ~2 perks.
