5: As far as defending....yes bases where lost and sometimes bases where rolled up...but cant tell me they couldnt see bases being taken? After a base or two would fall why did they not up a defense then? The opposing team did have time to react then.

6: again i ask ....if wasn't broke ....why fix it??

It was broke, and it didn't work like you are saying. If so, there would not have been a problem. More often than not, the NOE's were used in a way you simply could not defend against: against a severly outnumbered enemy, and with rapidly changing targets. You can't simply muster the necessary number of players vs a 20+ noe horde within 2 minutes if you are outnumbered, especially if the enemy plays "smart" and hits here and there all across the map.
The particular sudnay that has been referred to a number of times was the prime example: The NOEs did only start after Bishs had achieved a huge numerical superiority, lasted for hours and did only stop when the numbers were getting even.

  ... you just don't get it, do you ? ... HiTech thought it was broke, and him being the ultimate decision maker, fixed it.

i thought 65 feet was a little extreme, I have not yet tried to fly a mission at that altitude, but i imagine lancasters should probably just leave the gear down and drive there!
TO me, 100 feet would have been a better number,but 500 was a good bit more room than most needed, i flew at 200 for a good year or more till i read it was 500!

 now if it is going to stay 65 feet, lets kill the radar all together if you can get in and out without going above it or at least change it to GV DAR limits
make it worth it to try to get into a base under DAR by not alerting anyone if you do,this would help to improve the skill level of those pilots wishing to still fly NOE missions and encourage them to still try to do so!

 what is the alert distance of a GV into a town or base?

3 miles

[WWhiskey]

3 miles

so i should not flash the base at all until three miles if i could get there under 65 feet all the way,   my new wish!!!

I suggest you look at Hitechs post again, it was broke.

Hence these changes have nothing to do with fur-ball vs tool shedding. But simply about putting offense and defense on a more = level.

Nothing in these changes is stopping you, or anyone else, from creating and running missions. However, there is now a greater possibility that you will face a stronger defense is all. If you are afraid of having to fight to capture a base that's another matter for you to decide.

I've heard some say, that when they see a side rolling another, they simple switch to the superior side to get the easy kills. Is this actually fairly common behavior.
If your talking 'realism', switching sides so easily AND maintaining your pilot rating is kinda lame. You can't even do that in an arcade game.

The difference between 3 miles and 12 miles doing approx 300 mph is really insignificant if you think about it.

ok so why not do it?   lol

Only if one gives a crap about pilot ranking, which is probably the most unrealistic part of the whole game.

most unrealistic, lame, yes,,, but i bet if you couldn't take it with you, many would not change sides as often, it is amazing to me how many say they don't care about there score yet play for it almost all the time!

He may get the occasionally "easy" kill, but thats about it. Most of the time you will mostly fight the other "green" guys to get the lone defender before they do. You k/h and k/s may get quite low...

How do you figure someone is playing for score?

Along with facing ENY restrictions.
