Slow down....Take a deep breath....dont kill donut...

[hammer]

it works both ways too. furballers upping to stop a chain of bases being taken...

I thought this was called defense... now I know it's done just to piss off the base capture guys!:D

Perhaps folks are taking "Fighter Town", and "Tank Town" a bit too seriously. I dont recall seeing anywhere that they were ever given that name "officially", or that it was ever intended to be a mini-ma, or mini-da. If they were, HTC would have already disabled base capture there ect. and you would have a TT and FT on every map, which you don't.

Its just another map, the designer put certain bases in there for a fun setup, but it was never intended as many seem to want it to be.

My 2 cents, I dont really care about it (bomb it dont bomb it, whatever), just an observation.

While FT wasnt "officially" designated that by HTC
FT on the Doughnut map was put there EXACTLY and specificlly  by the designer of that map for the purpose of having a mini Da. or to be more specific a place within the MA for the furballers to have their fun without being forced to be a part of the landgrab

I dont spend much time if any at FT on that map And any other map I would side with the landgrabbers.
On Doughnut map I am firmly on the side of the furballers.
Even though I dont spend any time there

We have how many maps?
there is one map alone the furballers can look forward to that has an area specifically designed for them.
I say everyone else has all the other maps to landgrab away on any base bar none.
Let the furballers have this one area on this one map to themselves.

I implore HTC to at some point make these 3 bases uncapturable.
s this would be the easiest, fastest, and most satisfactory  way to bring about a resolution to this rift for everyone without removing the map which would only make everyone unhappy.

This is the one time when IMO HTC really can please everyone

A simple solution to solve everyone's problems:

Increase the hardness of ALL the facilities at all fields by a factor of 4 or more.  Make the acks killable only by bombs instead of bullets and cannon shells.

Yes, this may be 'unrealistic' but we already have 'unrealistic' pinpoint bombing ability and would help the gameplay for everyone.

The offense would have more of a challenge, requiring more sorties to destroy a base, having more targets to hit ( or targets to hit more).

The outnumbered defence would have a chance to up at a base and actually defend without a time or distance penalty.

The fights would move from the bases to the cities (minimizing vulching capabilities).

The furballers would have better protected bases or more time to defend them.

The current strat system would have more of an effect because it would be easier to target than bases.

The porkers would require multiple sorties....no more single 51s or typhies sneaking in and killing troops or ordinance for a base.

And best of all, these changes require minimal effort from HTC.  At least we should try it

I say live and let live.

If you want to bomb bases, there are a million other bases to bomb, why the 2 in FT?

If u wanna kill gvs, kill em at a field thats being taken, they are always there so why bother with em in TT?

Unfortunately Human Nature produces people that just want to ruin the fun for others becuase they cant have "fun" unless they do.

just my 0.02$

Holy crap I agree with Hammy!

ya, as i think i just wrote in another thread, this issue is deeper than furballers vs. strategeries.

it does come down to the community, and the way i see it, quite a few in the community have given a big finger to the furballers for wanting 3 collective bases on one stupid map.  such a small request made by people interested more in combat than toolsheds, met with such hostility.

and dok, i've read through most of these threads....though i think we are on different sides of the coin, i have enjoyed reading your responses.  you seem to be one of the few strat guys who actually wanted to discuss rather than sling mud

but hey, at least our feelings are in the air. i think both sides have ok points, no one is right; but i think there is a proper way to fly which shows respect to the community.  just because you can do something, doesn't mean it is the right thing to do.  

guess it is time to let that poor poor horse die now. vast.

When I log on tonight, there's going to be payback for everyone who ever thought of offending me.  

I love this game.

[icemaw]

I have never been so offended by anything in all my life.
From now on I only have one thing to do when I fly and thats kill troops and ord there will never be another base taken in aces high if I have anything to say about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:furious

" I really don't have much interest in capturing
bases in FT. I'd much rather run a horde to sweep down on them
and have some fun. "

Wow the reality of the way this game is going is all summed up in one statement   horde in ftr town

Holy crap I agree with Hammy!
