To address your M3 concern, it could be designed so "any" activity would reset the timer. Maybe 2-hrs for in flight, 1 hr for in tower.

+1 with the above or similar included.

Last I heard, you don't need to be online to get the perks...you just need to have been on the winning side for 12 consecutive hours when the war gets won.

Negative ghostrider, I am almost positive you must be online and have been on the winning side for greater than 12 hours.

well I am not 100% positive :uhoh  but I am pretty sure as long as you were on the country for 12 hrs you get the perks, I have a feeling HTC said that.

Make it possible to flip maps faster and stop giving war win perks. Fewer players will be sitting in the tower. Or 100 perks to the player who dropped the troops that won the war and a faster way to flip maps.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

I tested it in midwar the other day. No perks if not in the game when war is won.

To the point of the post:  Gotta make an "Auto Boot" for inactivity  +1
Or at least remove them from the roster, or mark them as inactive.
It won't happen, especially if HT has already weighed in on it.

I never expected that if I went AFK for an hour and came back I would still be online.  Why would I need that?  I can just log in again.
Seriously.  That's not a challenge, it's a question.  I don't CO a squad.  I'm not usually (almost never) a tanker or a bomber, so my perspective is limited. 
Other than for some commander functions in a scenario, why would anyone need to stay logged in, inactive, for more than an hour?  :headscratch:

It used to be that way. In my first weeks in the game, it was almost my only source of perks ;)

However, it's definitely not working that way anymore. I logged off a few hours ago when Bish were about to win Ndisles and just logged back on. My perks are still the same in all categories.

I am absolutely sure, that all sides experience this issue.  Get close to winning a map.  1/2 your country is AFK, so you eat an ENY penalty for inactivity.  I really think a timer that boots a player for no activity would HELP gameplay issues.   Properly implemented, to account for GVers in a tank looking around,  this could benefit the game, anyone disagree?

I say 50 perks to the winning side divided amongst the total population.
