Remember what Higby said: every load out will mean sacrificing something.
We all know how much air cav dominated everything else in PS1, but that likely won't be the case this time around as anyone can just swap out a heavy assault load out, or slap an AA turret on their tank. If you are getting one sided aircav farmed it will not be because you had a lack of reliable things that could shoot planes, it will be because you didn't use them.

When 1 person can spot for 600, it's not coordination, it's zerging. It's an extreme force multiplier that allows a reward to be reaped that's far beyond any skill, planning, or situational awareness that was sown. And simple line of sight radar is even worse. That's not even spotting.
I don't understand the point of having a large scale game if things like this are going to undo it all, destroy stealth, etc.
