Few days back there was a GV hiding near an airfield and I could not see it from many search passes from a B25H. There was a friendly tank searching for it as well. Someone reported it being seen close to the field so I landed next to the tank off field selected F5 external view together with F8 and started to sweep along the ground through all thick bushes in range while using view range in/out etc. Located the hidden Wirble at the edge of my max view range and then gave VOX directions for the GV. Maybe too gamey but did require some teamwork/ communication for success. Kind of like exiting your aircraft and running around.
I don’t see that any different than real world, landing, exiting with binoculars and radio in hand, establishing an observation position, and forward air controlling from the ground.
