Well it just seems like a quagmire to go off and just leave a base almost totally defenseless.
It's a game. You get to choose how, when and where to play. Sounds like you need to take a reality check. If it's no longer fun, just quit for a while. I've been on the ground at a capped base where the vulch light was lit...it's fun for about 2 minutes trying to up to bust the vulch. After that, I decide to quit padding their score and move on.
A true vulch is where they take down all the ack and circle looking for easy kills. They don't have any plans to capture the base and have not even touched the town. Base suppression it the same thing, but they are also taking down the town to prep for the capture. In either case, when it stops being fun for ME, I move on. Why whine about it or ask HTC to change the game just because you couldn't figure this out all by yourself?
