That still leaves the question, of rather the current set up is physically the same as we're going to see in the first week?
Hmmm actually someone may have accidentally answered this question for me in another thread.
If this week is only about hitting the strat targets then it would explain why the basses heal after just a minute or two. I went in and hit a VB's radar tower. And swooped out and on ignoring the rest of the base.
By the time I reached the edge of the bases radar circle on my way out.
If it's NOT supposed to be doing that, then someone needs to get in there with some duct tape and do something.
