I will take down hangers at a base even if we aren't close to taking it, and here's why... When a fight between two bases is shifting to the good guys side (i.e. they are pushing us to our base where we take off with enemies above) I will up bombers to slow down their advance. If I up and take down hangers, that gives 15 minutes for the good guys to take back control. Does the fight ever shift all the way back to the enemy base? No, there are plenty of cons up to take care of before many friendlies can make any impact on enemy base. 15 minutes goes fast when you've got 15-50 cons already up in the air coming at you. So this can actually prolong your precious furball by bringing the fight back to the middle rather than people setting up a cap and vulch.
I really don't know why it's so hard to understand what the point is of this thread. Like most, you've totally missed it by a mile.
Here is the point of this thread written as simply as possible, hopefully after this people will get the point.
Group A is mad at Group B because Group B is not playing how Group A feels they should.
Group A then flies to where Group B is having fun dogfighting with both sides not making any attempts at a base capture
Group B sees Group A flying towards the fight in bombers and asks Group A repeatedly not bomb the bases where the fight is taking place
Group A ignores the requests of Group B because, after all, Group A knows what's best and only their way of play is allowed in their eyes
Group A destroys the hangers at the bases and the fight ends and Group B's fun is ruined because Group A are a bunch of tools
Group A now proudly proclaims they've killed the fight so now Group B should help them win the war by taking more bases because in Group A's eyes, this is the only way to play
Group B tells Group A to diddly off.
That's the point of this thread, not whether or not you should bomb a base or capture one. It's all about being cognisant of other player's play style and respecting it and not intentionally going out of ones way to ruin another groups fun just because one group feels that the other group shouldn't play that way.
