The minimum change is a change in the tactics of the SM player. No new
rules
needed at all. Banzai Jammers only really shred the tactic of unloading
all
salvoes against the big targets as soon as possible. The Granaatscherven
force the SM player to sweep them using beams or (heaven forbid) a few
early
SM rounds. Jammers may be close to 100% proof vs.the hail mary dump
everything and run attack, but that kind of IMO cheesy attack _should_
be
stoppable in its tracks. Force the SM player to think.

I will continue to argue that if you want/make smarter SM's, I want/will
make smarter Jammers.
