Proposal: Since UAVs do not trigger war declarations when entering foreign airspace, which implies plausible deniability, they should also not trigger war declarations when being attacked, because said plausible deniability must be maintained.
Background: An alliance member brought up the potential of using UAVs in an internal match with the new 28 player world map.
We decided that UAV usage would take away nearly of the the guessing and put an even greater emphasis on efficiency and activity, which is a good thing overall. However, if we were to allow UAV usage, we would also have to allow shooting down UAVs, which currently triggers war.
While we can allow war declarations for the purpose of shooting down UAVs and just prohibit the taking of provinces and attacking other units of the opposing team, it's unnecessarily complex.
In addition, the Newspaper doesn't record when provinces are taken so if someone took a province and shot down a UAV belonging to the same country, there would be no way to prove they broke the rules without a screenshot of the invading infantry or before/after screenshots of the territory, which is also unnecessarily complex.
Please fix this issue since UAVs are underutilized and alliance matches that have a set peace period are the perfect arena for them.
Thanks for your time.
