It’s only a fairly recent discovery of mine that you do not need to take tanks at all into “Ground” sim battles. Any player can just spawn aircraft with ordnance and begin bombing people for no cost. Why? How was this decided to be fun? How did the team come to believe the tank community would want to play a mode in which they are just targets for aircraft players?
