There are HQs in DA, but if you nland hits on the HQ building, System message gives you several "Radar Factory destroyed messages". I got about a dozen of that messages with two considerable well aimed & slow low level Lanc attacks. The building was still up, though

And those messages came from hitting the HQ only, because only 2 buildings in the adjacent town were destroyed.

This is a little off topic, but can we take down towers and runways? And what will it cause if we do?

though the DA has supre increased hardness settings form the MA to "dissuade" field capture, hangar bashing, what have you.

I would hazard a guess that if you kill an HQ in the DA it will either be:

A: extremely hard to kill
b: extremely short rebuild time

as let's pretend you did kill an HQ in the DA, one side, rooks, knits, bish would lose dar, and that would make dueling not feesable, and I would hazard a guess HTC has already thought of that and compensated.

you can as shown individually set the "hardness" of any object offline or in a hosted setting, independently, you can set the down time, down to under 1 second... meaning without access to the actual arena setting in the MA arenas we will not know what they are set to by HTC.

basically you are at the mercy of updates on the web site "help" for actual downtime figures, hardness, and any other settings.

also basing this off the "default" offline settings can not be counted on, as IIRC the default fuel burn offline is 1.0 while MA is 2.0

most of this MA information is held confidential for proprietary purposes and I totally agree with that

I remember several of us (Knights) did a HQ run with about 4 sets of buffs; I don't even know how much we buildings we knocked down but didn't seem to really affect their (believe it was Bish) radar too much; Still was fun trying though

Knocking down the small buildings does not do anything at HQ's, they are just decoration. They only thing you have to hit is the grey, fortress-like HQ building itself.
And with that it's an all-or nothing thing. Either it's destroyed or it is up. And so is their radar.

Kill'n HQ. is a waste of time, bombs,fuel,mg rounds, and a waste of thread space. My humble opinion though, its worth what ya paid for it. ~~carry on.~~

Just want to clarify that...

A fully loaded lancaster formation can carry 42,000 lbs (according to soda's reference page) of ordinance and a lone skilled bomber can personally ruin game play for an entire side.

if anything they should make HQ "stronger"

but that's just my opinion.

I agree. Should it be that the HQ be made easier to kill. This is a simulation. Nothing should come easy. I think it should take 3 or 4 formations to kill an HQ. My humble opinion as a Jug puke!

Why don't you just look it up?

small hint - Support / HELP / Strategic Targets

Looking for yourself is usually MUCH faster than waiting for any answers on this BBS
