For fog.

Players are unlikely to build a tank for their first vehicle, since they have that airport and tend to want to build infantry at the
beginning. Bcopter openings are viable, and potentially even optimal, but can be countered by AA reasonably.

I would say that Copter openings are very viable if you want any vehicle at all early on as building Infs from the bases, partucularly the 1b, is preferable at the start for long term-income. I also don't see the 1b1a being able to defend against the 3b long-term so most of the games should be damage races on the sides here. I'm also a bit worried about the possibility for the 1b1a to delete the sub and replace it with a BShip - if the 3b is not prepared for this and the 1b has some vision ready, it seems like a bit of a rugpull, especially since there's not too much incentive for the 3b to go for indirects other than preempting the BShip buy (maybe the 3b will have an Arty if they freed up the Inf base but that's about it).

Overall I think it's a bit one-dimensional as far as openings and gameplay are concerned.
