If this is implemented, most players will feed themselves to the tank commander position because the Ju87-G2 and IL2 were not designed to be flown in the gyrations we go through in the game to get guns on the target long enough to make the shooting work and not get fragged by the commander every pass. The tank commander is in indestructible mode, so he doesn't pay a price for his upper body sticking out of the hatch during a strafing run, with a giant sight ring to aim his personal big gun into the attackers face. Isn't that a modern 21st century tank aiming device for the commander only possible with computers? Almost a lead computing gunsight enabled but, for tanks.
The Ju87-G2 and Il2 in real life during guns runs against tanks, didn't attack from a dive bomb 60-90 degree attitude. And the commander zipped himself up to not get killed. He didn't hang out of the hatch skeet shooting tank hunters during their guns run.
The gyrations we go through to beat the single shot dead eye'd dork commander mode self air defense, didn't happen in real life. The planes would have been designed differently, or not at all. Effective gun range against armor was 437yds(400m) and closer. Instead, bombs and PTAB took care of the issue in real life.
At 437yds(400m) attacking from 60-90 degrees, many Ju87-G2 and IL2 pilots in the game auger. Shallower, many feed themselves to the indestructible tank commander.
Maybe Hitech should make commanders killable but, give the Gver a formation mode where they can choose an M16, osti, or wirbel to slave along with them. Then hop into the tank guns zipping up the hatch or the towed anti air vehicle.
As is, if this isn't changed. Allowing guns only tank hunters to up from GV bases will just give the tanks free kills.
