The RC Baron is a small target, difficult to hit and is used far too often to interrupt gang fights and other otherwise fair matchups.
I do understand that it is a VIP-only vehicle, but that does not exempt VIPs from using them to destroy an otherwise fair fighting environment.
We should strive to achieve the best environment for deathmatching possible and improve the conditions for gangs and support any gang wars developing. Having vehicles or features that so heavily can influence a healthy gang fight on the streets might be fun for the one individual using the vehicle or feature, but not so much for the huge group of players focusing on fighting their opponent.
It is not often the RC Baron is used constructively in a gang fight by one gang against each other; generally it's used by 'by-standers' to the on-going gang fight and is thus an interrupting element of the gameplay.
Besides that, having a weapon that auto-aims and deals out that much damage is hardly fair taken into consideration that it is currently considered a legit kill on the same level as a fair duel with sawn-offs, snipers and uzis.
I am also worried about the new vehicle spawning feature, which according ot GitHub will allow VIPs to spawn RC Barons: "VIPs may get access to a few other special vehicles, e.g. the RC vehicles" (link: https://github.com/LVPlayground/playground/issues/330)
This will worsen the current invasive and interrupting use of the RC Baron, and further underline the need for action being taken.
I do hope, that you will consider my proposal and finally make RC Baron kills count as lame-kills with the relevant punishment options available.
PS. If I remember correctly, kills being made using the Sea Sparrow count as lame kills. The Sea Sparrow uses the exact same weapon as the RC Baron, but is both way larger and easier to kill. I do not have a computer available to test this though, and I'm not sure if Sea Sparrow is even accessible anymore, but if it is - and kills used by the Sea Sparrow is considered lame - there is no reason at all why the RC Baron kills shouldn't count as lame.
