Take your time. Looking forward to the changes!

[Battle screen camping, log off camping - final proposal]

Both proposals are an excellent idea! Regarding the second solution not being elegant; this need not be the case: If a person re-logs within 3-5 minutes after logging out without using the 'Wait' option (i.e. disconnect), the PB entry timer won't apply. If a person logs out using the 'Wait' option (i.e. controlled logout), or re-logs more than 5 minutes after logout, the PB entry timer should apply.

One would like to achieve a certain level of realism, but on the other hand it is a game, not a simulator and realism should therefore not be at the cost of entertainment. Your proposal strikes a good balance in my opinion.
