In this case we are creating an unintended consequence to counter a hard earned skill set by GVers who are playing the game by the rules and the limitations of the terrain.
Alt_R and you have turned on delayed pinpoint GVDAR. The hiding GVer has no indication of a film running. Yes an expectation to constantly move to new hiding spots will have to happen. This will not make half of Hitech's customers feelgood about keeping their subscriptions since not all of them are Mano, Tyfoo or Dr7 in terms of tank ACM strategy. Even if the competitors have GV only arenas with their own version of GVDAR that is rather specific in some cases. In those games the end result is not a 1000lb bomb which even the TigerII is no match for. In those games your tank combat skills can counter the advantages of their GVDAR. In our game, bombs are not impressed unless players can start main gunning bombs out of the air.
This is a conundrum since it is helping otherwise good players get frustrated and start using gamey tactics as a standard solution to players using the terrain to their advantage. It is a ginormous PITA to have a tank inside that DAR block and 6 people not be able to find it. What does that one guy in the end have to look forward to? A 1000lb ticket back to the tower in seconds of being spotted if he is an average tank player.
Our GV game in the MA seems to be one of catering to extremes. Either you are an ace at concealment and mobility or, you take part in large scale offensives to attack capture-able positions to take advantage of the numbers and chaotic activity. And neither condition is immunity from an average player with bombs. Bringing back long range Icons from the old days will add an unfair burden to GVers since I reached to point in AH2 with those icons I could land up to 5 kills a sortie in an IL2 using only guns. With bombs, wirbles are sitting ducks and just mobile targets to pick up kills. And you don't have to be as careful with tanks to get bombs on them.
Running the film as a GVDAR substitute out of frustration will not end well for our community.
