Even an incredibly patient and respectful man has his limits.  I have reached mine.  After 2 and 1/2 years of AH I am extremely frustrated by the inability to combat these incoming overkill raids. 
You are looking for the wrong fix.  Overcrowding behavior's is AH's biggest problem IMO.  Limit Arenas to medium sized maps and no more than 35 players per team.  If you dont like that suggestion then you are doomed to the dweebery that results from way to many rats in one box.

I am very open to a fix.  Hopefully others are also.  However even arena size does not stop folks shying from the fight, which I assume is why we are all here.

DA-style radar would put a stop to milking undefended bases.   Having ENY kick in earlier and harder would be nice too.

LOL a 1 man NOE attack although commendable for it's bravery does not meet the qualifications for inclusion Corrs.  How about an honorable mention?  :rofl

 :salute

That's alright...I prefer the Miss Congeniality award  :neener:

How about limiting the number of people that can join a mission?

Fair enough Hyperion.  What do you fight with when the hangars and town are down in just a few short minutes?  I am talking about total hordeling apocalypse with little or no chance of stopping them Sir.  Hopefully you know me well enough to know that I will up into the most horrible circumstances, and my squaddies will follow.  If you do get the jump on them, they disappear.  There is no fight to be had.

Me and the 82nd boys would mount up in our 38s at a base next to the one being horded, then head over to get fancy with the hordes. Thwarting NOE missions arent as hard as it may seem. You just need to get your wingmen/squad together and get to the base in time. The fight may be short-lived, but at least you have that chance of getting kills. The idea here is getting everyone in your squad en masse and coordinate the attack against those noe dweebs.

Besides, I have seen noe missions completely fail by the appearance of just one 262 as he BnZs everyone to the tower.

Being only of the rank of Potato Peeler 3rd Class in Knightland,  that would be an improper and unauthorized allocation of military resources.
I could get in trouble.  :uhoh

Just let them have the first base, but plan ahead and get some defense on the ground and in the air at the next possible target and surprise them.  Easy enough.

 And you don't see the town or Field flashing once they cross the DAR bar?? under radar or 20k it flashes, so if your to lazy to up fighters to see whats causing the town and Field to flash then you deserve what you get. theres more than enough warning to up

If you do that then AH will just becomes a "furballers Only Club"........

That's what AW was back in 1990... we hated it. Well the hand full of furballers liked it. Most players back then wanted Large maps, tanks, ships that move and they wanted to play WAR. Furballers hate war.... War don't care how good you are in a 1 vs. 1 or what ACM you know. In War step #1 is never fight fair, you fight to win.

The real issue has already been stated...

The game as become for many "capture as many bases as quickly as possible".
The game's intent is "to promote combat in a multi-player online environment using WWII equipment".

I find it sad that so many are falling into the former rather than the latter.  And the problem is self-perpetuating as new guys come into the game to see so many hordes porking fields and rolling bases and figure that's how the game is played.   :(
