LOL.. GV isolationist whiners crying that the GV icons would need removing if this was added... It is "to laugh"...
ptab or not, GVs were wiped off the face of the earth in any area where the enemy forces had complete air superiority (not a term that existed at the time, but one I'll use nonetheless). The same holds true in AH. Disabling GV icons was simply to pander to the VERY vocal minority of whiners and cryers that literally sh** a brick if a plane was spotted anywhere near them. Why? Because they were spawn camping somewhere and got shot. They were perfectly ranged in to pop easy targets and got bombed.
Funny thing is, even with just 1 or 2 friendly planes in the air over them it would entirely STOP this decimation from enemy air assets, but they didn't care about things like logic, reality, historic accuracy, or even the optics of eyesight or the physics of light reflecting off of objects into the eyeball. Nah... Can't let all those details get in the way of their camping spot at tank-town.
GV whiners are ruining this game. Make the icons 20K, and just prove to them it's not about icons. It's about their lack of spine and how they play. I truly hope they find happiness -- but only if they all go play World of Tanks instead of Aces High.
While we're at it, add the PTAB for the IL2! It's really kind of useless without long armored tank convoys on narrow roads which boxes all the targets into one kill-zone. That's why they were so useful to the Soviets in WW2. In here? Probably see very limited success.
