It's not like SBs are hard to destroy. How many people actually do this? Can't say I support these ideas. The exploiting of sides will always be there and I see no way to avoid it. It's part of the game and it's annoying.

how about if you can bump anybody from sb or field gun based on rank, like we do with cv's.  that will be the end of the spy thing.

 :rofl wow! You guys really get all worked up and frothy from someone just stating an opinion. If you don't respect me or feel threatened, shuddup.  :huh Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it ain't happening. I know, you got a crystal ball. I don't care. The SB part was a very small annoyance, comparatively. The idea that this couldn't be fixed, or it would be a major problem is pure BS. Most of the answers on this wish list are negative by the Know-it-alls crowd that hover here, just 'cause it ain't yours. Even a purely simple and reasonable suggestion gets guffawed here, so forgive me if I don't bow respectfully. "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy"   :neener:  :devil

I was giving the shore battery a try once defending a base from a cv attack the cv was to far to the left for me to point at it so I didn't shoot and someone asked who was in the SB so I told them why I wasn't shooting then after the cv was in range I started shooting at the cruiser (once you get them ranged in they are fun) after sinking the cruiser I looked around and it looked like the defenders and attackers were having fun so I left the carrier alone then the same person started PMing me calling me names and telling me to shoot the carrier, so I just logged off and haven't been in an SB since

Again thank for the constructive comments. This also is not a huge problem for the programmers to only start the boot clock when a CV is within & stays within range. During this period if no firing commences within 5 minute I think a boot is called for. This could be groomed to be well within range for the newbs so that learners don't get penalized. I do not believe that the very capable designers/programmers here would be overly challenged by this...time allowing.  :salute  :airplane:  :bolt:

again, if the dreaded spy's objective is to tie up the shorebattery and render it useless, whats to keep him from just firing out into nowhere every 5 mninutes.. or better yet, just taping down his fire button?

the reason people are against these type wishes is that it attempts to solve a "problem" that doesn't exist.  Fortunately HTC does seem to ignore them and spends their time actually working on new planes and gameplay adjustments that matter, instead of worrying about if someones sitting in a tower, or not firing a shorebattery.

Well as I said before the SB part of the wish was the lesser part of it, but I guess when it happens to you, you might feel a little different. JMO. :salute

i thought i made that clear before.. "it" has "happpened" to me many times.. It just doesn't bother me at all though..  people sitting in the tower (causing ENY?? cant get into capped arena??), or switching sides (SPYING!!!!) makes absolutely zero difference to me and the way i play the game.


again I ask, why do you care so much about what other people are doing?   all 3 of your original wishes in this thread are about forcing other people to do what you think they should do, and still you have not yet explained why they should be forced to do it your way.

Take it easy.  Your "stated opinion" also asks for something to be done.  If people disagree with you and they are the majority maybe you should back off a bit and look for a more elegant solution.  Sir,  :salute, there is no conspiracy to ruin your game.  IMHO you are focused on the negative.  There is so much good fun to be had here.
