MoonBot Feature Request

I would like to request a new feature for MoonBot remember that a player in Uncap was in Artillery / AA gun several seconds prior to their death and thus exempt their killing from uncap rule.
MoonBot is already tracking player last vehicle as that is used to trigger the taxi to plane rule. Would it be possible to query that same function for last vehicle when infantry is killed in uncap to differentiate camping from legitimate attacks?
 
 
 
Justification
 
BattleAxe is quite unique in terms of artillery, unlike other maps Artillery is very powerful here.  Capable of attacking nearly the entire battlefield and disrupt your teams ground forces.
 
Planes are tasked with the support duty to take artillery down, however unlike other maps there is urgency here.  We can take a few minutes to gain altitude, fly around the map and do a dive bombing attack on artillery but on BattleAxe taking it out is more urgent.
The quick way to destroy is to fly directly over the battlefield low down below the AA  gun line of fire and shoot down the artillery with Guns.  Guns require a number of hits to destroy artillery which gives player in artillery time to bail.  But most of the time they are still killed in the explosion of the vehicle they bailed and pilots get killed by MoonBot. This discourages pilots from helping their team, Artillery isn't a threat to them so it undermines teamwork.

Fair enough, Pilots aren't exactly popular in this community.  I'll take this as a no.

We only have a couple of admins who are able to adjust MoonBot's functionality and any change isn't particularly straightforward.  

 

Add to that, admins have day jobs too.  Hopefully one of those admins will come across your post shortly and be able to state whether what you're asking is possible, whether they have time to make the change, and whether it can be done without having any other knock-on effects.
