Weather aggressive truck placement should be punished or not is separate issue.
The question is should be punished by a mainline infatry with access to smoke, off map arty and anti structure satchels.
Yes.
The answer is yes.
Was it any other way, it would be addressed years ago, because its not a fresh "issue".
In fact, it was already addressed years ago, when OKW teching and economy was changed and ever since you have a choice - you either expose your trucks to counter by placing them forward, but also reaping potential benefits of doing so, or stick them to the base, where they are completely safe from everything but on map artillery.
No one is forcing you to place trucks forward, you evaluate risk vs reward and make a choice that suits you best, then deal with consequences of that choice.
