From a realistic perspective, why would the ownership of a small room in a town a few miles from the base have any effect on the base itself anyway?  :headscratch:

just thinkin of ways to up the complexity a little

I still think they need to change the size of the towns according to the size of the field.

Small field = what we have now
Med. field = 10-15 more buildings and another ack or 2.
Large field = 20-30 more buildings and 3-4 more ack.

You could STILL take a large field with 3 tanks/whirbles/ostis and an m3 so the milk runners can't whine too much.

It would please the 'bomber' types as well 'cause now they have 3 diff. town setups to egg and more targets to lob bombs at. 

The 'strategy' types would like it because they would have to plan differently according to the field size.

It would appease the 'anti-hoard' types as it will slow down the swarm of nme from just jumping from base to base.  (would also make NOE missions easier to defend against because it takes longer, and requires a bit more effort, to get that med/large field)

I think that is the best and most viable idea I have seen in a long time re: field captures.  It makes the medium/large airfields more valuable as they would require more effort and diff. tactics to capture them.

HiTech is planning on changing the strat system.  What the changes are?  How will they affect the strategy and tactics?  Only he knows and not telling.

Maybe the capture element will be chaged to coincide with the new strat system.

yea, this is an excellent post. If only I wasn't so lazy typing on my iPhone. Thanks for filling in what I left out of my wish!

As far as the orignal post I don't think so, why not just hide it so nobody can take the base  :headscratch:  :D

It wasn't about hiding it so bases can't be taken. It was more about having to deal with the actual base to take rather than town.

Bases need to be made easier to capture not harder.

Lute's idea is interesting, well thought through and worth more than just a second look.

I'm all for making it more difficult for a few sneaky fellas to take a base.  I like the idea of the "map room" being within the confines of the base.  I never did understand why it is in the middle of a residential area.  A strategically important place like the HQ bunker would/should be within the defensive compound such as a military base.

Taking a base should very much be a team effort.

The exact thread where that idea was created.  (and I am not the originator of it)

As I said I think that is one of the best ideas I have seen in a long time and I hope HTC considers it.

My fear, after seeing that development thread, is that HTC will go a tad "overboard" with town size.

From a realistic perspective, why would one want to own a completly destroyed, bombed out airfield that it would cost more to repair than good it would do? :headscratch:
