Change the “rules” so that GVs inside a VBase radar circle have no icons when seen from the air, except for Storches. (Yes this is a big change, which shifts the balance in the direction of GVs on *a portion of* the map. It is intended to make it difficult to kill GVs from the air in these areas. No this is not a whine motivated by a recent death in the MA.)
Rationale:
1) Assumption is that HTC wants to attract GV subscribers as well as AC subscribers. If not, all bets are off.
2) If so, they need to consistently provide a portion of the main LW arena where GVs can play relatively unmolested by AC. It is frustrating for experienced players to realize that any halfway competent player in a plane can kill their expensive perk tank, and there is nothing they can do about it. Imagine then how much worse it is for new player.
3) The preceding is best achieved by integrating GV-safe and GV-open-season areas over the entire map, on all maps. Thus, they will always be there, no matter when you log on.
4) But map changes are a lot of extra work for HTC.
5) The OP allows use of existing maps with a simple rules change.
6) The “war” can still be fought and won using the air bases, which comprise the majority on all maps. VBases can also be captured to “win the war” if attackers are able to do so despite this rule change.
7) GVs can still be seen and bombed normally everywhere else, so that play style is retained.
