1. Either add in one of the jets from the base game with the thermals inside of the targeting pod enabled, or make it a purchasable option inside of the mod menu for say like 500k or more. It could add a really interesting dynamic into how you play cartels and other events like that, while also being expensive enough to make you think twice about weather its a worthwhile option.
2. It takes an ungodly amount of effort to steal a plane from someone and the only thing you can really do with it when you do is crash it. I feel like you should be able to chop stolen planes at the aircraft carrier rebel.
