3. - Only airplane drivers are concerned with this, mostly because their easy vluch victim can use his own AA patch as a trap.

If I'm flying near an enemy airfield I expect to get popped and that's fine.  I find it a lot more irritating to get popped by some invisible guy on the ground while I'm already fighting 3 of his friends in the air. Or by the invisible guy parked under the furball. Or even most by the intrepid invisible guy who parks half a mile off the runway after I've just taken off.

1. -The new trees favor GV's with their engines off. You end up having to get really close to catch a flash of red, then you have blown by and have to keep circling to get another flash of red. And zoom is a 50\50 proposition of making out that vehicle even if you have identified it's tree.

2. - This makes wirbels and ostis a real PIA when they lay up an AA patch.

3. - Only airplane drivers are concerned with this, mostly because their easy vluch victim can use his own AA patch as a trap.

WW2 was just as bad or worse in many places in the ETO, and I watch some of this post's complainers use their own wirbel guys as traps to make up for their own ACM screw ups. And from what I hear screeched in the tower, they would probably only be happy if Hitech made everyone else die if they just look at them. Why?....anytime they die it's unfair and wrong and Hitech is an old meenie. It never changes and Hitech can never make anyone happy about loosing in this game.

Wirblewind and Panzer IV are exactly the same dimensions.  It seems that icon ranges should also be the same, to make them equally "visible".
