Just my take...

One team gets slapped down hard, they are badly outnumbered (quite a few of their players either logged in disgust or joined the other team), and yet the push is not made for the reset... WHY?
Well, one reason I think maybe that some members of the other team, get this conscience(sp?) thing, and find no sport in it so go fight the other team. I am guilty of this myself, but now when I look at it.. IMO its better for the sim, and the arena to go for the reset. The players who have logged in disgust will come back, the teams may become better balanced, the RAMmeter will not be off the scale, and the game will go on etc etc.
For the team thats down, its quite an achievement to come back from the odds, but it doesn't happen very quickly.

I say puttem outta their misery!
The game will thank ya for it

Wasn't something about getting additional points/perk points added for "winning" the war and causing the reset (for pilots in that country for the previous 24hrs)? As an incentive to prevent this 'hold a country down to 2 bases and vulch' mentality? Or is that something planned (can't remember atm, and dinnae feel like looking

)
If it's in, it's not working. Course the 'leaders' in the bish and nits figger they can rack up thier points faster by just vulching us whenever we try to take off.

danish the offensive power of the taskgroups is not that great. They move at ~40mph, means they'll transit roughly 1.5 map sectors in an hour. That's too slow to actually be useful to a fast paced offensive.
The guns are next to worthless for shore bombardment unless you park the fleet immediately offshore, and that puts you in range of panzers and ostdweebs (watched an ostdweeb sink a flattop in <2min).

Last 3-4 days haven't been verra flyable if you're a rook

perhaps we could have one of each countries ports as uncapturable? This way you will always be able to use one carrier.
As for gangbanging it happens to every team at some point and i must admit it drives me crazy when you have a choice of bases to fly from and both are capped.
I think maybe once perk points are able to be used for more powerfull weapons maybe we could introduce a modifier that increases perks earned for those countries with fewer bases.This would encourage attacking countries to finish off the enemy rather than give them loads of perk points which they can use to defend with superior weapons.
However i just thought this may delay the final reset by making it even more difficult to accomplish.Its a tricky one isnt it

Simple solution.

1. Go to 2 sided map.

2. Set a random minimum field number to force reset. This can rotate between 2 to 5 fields. When one side gets down to the random number of fields the arena resets. No side has an idea what the number will be. It could be 5 or it could be 1. The number is random so no side can purposely set a target number of fields to take.

My $.02

Caveman:
You may be right: the cv's as such isnt that terrifying.Is the combination of cv's, numbers of players that may be way off, and the resulting chog steamroller 10k yards off the coast

Disclamer: this isnt a chog slam, people simply choose the chog first (allthoug to my joy I did get killed noumerus times be the D version :=)

One port that is not subject to capture - but perhaps sensitive to damage ie more damage more time for cv to resurface - might indeed give the wipped country a hope.

How are 2 sides not going to work? WHy cant we have some team equalizer thing? In the next months, I will rarely get to play this game. I don't wanna log on for squad nite only to see my country has 20, other country has 30, and the biggest country has 150 people. Jesus. THere shouldn't have to be "1 team in the bucket" teams should be fair, and the country with the best skills/organization should be winning, not the one with the most vulchers.

The effect this has is simple, many get annoyed and switch to another team, then the beaten back team gets even weaker, and the next day it happens more easily again.

Good point. Like I said in the earlier thread, there are way to many looking for the easy fight.

IMO making one port uncapturable would solve the problem. Thats pretty much what I've been trying to say

Hey SwampRat, THANKS!
Having failed to miss the point, I actually must have grasped it, something I seldom do.

And next time ya get pissed, count to ten and then type.

I am a bit disappointed with the "twit" rating though, I was goin' for "son of a squeak."

HTC, get busy on this, we want correct numbers in each country before the next squad night too, dammit!

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

OK SwampRat, but I am hoping for at least "dumb twit" on this one.

I sometimes, without telling anyone, respond to more than one poster in a thread without actually pointing that fact out, I figure those who read the whole thread will make the connection....or not.
