Well, at least I have an explanation for that. The phoenix fire ability was the problem here. All weapons are based on it, as you might know. The problem was, that a unit does not get revealed in the fog of war, when it deals damage through phoenix fire. This lead to a massive advantage for air tanks, which could just sit atop of some trees or cliffs and attack other tanks, which were not able to see these tanks.
There's also no simple option, which enables ground units to see over cliffs. So the fog of war was simply disabled. The problem was solved eventually, but by then players got used to the fact, that there was no FoW.
So much for my slightly offtopic explanation. Carry on then ;)
