Hiding in bush, or cover, is what we trained to do in the Army when I was a 19 Kilo (M1A1 tank crewman). We'd literally cover our tanks in foliage and back up into the tree line. This isn't a bug, it's a feature.
If you're trying to take a town or clear a spawn and there's 6 IL's and A20's circling then it's a blooming necessity if you want more than 30 second sorties. If no military ever needed to camoflage themselves and their equipment then all uniforms and vehicle paint would be bright purple.

Why do we want easter eggs in a war sim?
I will take the bait  :cheers:

As in logging in one day and drive to a basefrom spawn.  Along the way I discover a new burm that wasnt there before adding some new cover and surprise. Things like that and new tree and bush placements to keep it fresh. Fine tuning elements on the map ect. Things that keep people busy in the age of gv dar.

Ever think to tell the fighter pilots that there are 6 tank hunters at your location? I bet if you had there would be a dozen Doras there in short order to feast on them.

The problem is not the GV dar, it's the GVer's desire to be isolated from the rest of the game.

I enjoyed using a GV to hunt other GVs way far from the action.

It was fun to kill the train killers.

I kill stuff.... That is all

Last night I saw you tip toe past my hiding spot with a t-34/76 using a foilage camouflage skin. I did not know it was you. You are usually driving your  Volkswagen H.

Kaboom, buffer said Scotty dead. You drove right through the rook center spawn. We were hunting
A 49,er at the time. He was not cooperating.   :rofl

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.

The problem is not the GV dar, it's the GVer's desire to be isolated from the rest of the game.

1) With the numbers nowadays it's hard to recruit people on short notice, even when the payoff would be low and heavy GV hunters. Especially when transit time to target in such a situation would probably be longer than the survival time of the GV they were hunting in the first place. If anyone ever took you up on that bet, you'd lose.

2) What on earth is your issue with GVers? This isn't a rhetorical question: I'd really appreciate an answer, because I read what you said but I just don't get it. Even if GVers "desire to be islolated from the rest of the game" (which isn't true, but we'll run with that for now), so what? It's their $15, and if that's what they like why is it an issue for you? It wouldn't impact your game play experience in the slightest.
