Side Switch time
« on: July 11, 2013, 06:03:20 PM »
Yes, it have been discussed numerous times,  yes there are dozens of threads on this, but I think HiTech needs a little reminder. Please reduce the 12 hour side switch to at least 6-8 hours when you release the new Yaks and Tank Destroyers!!!!!!  :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray :pray

i would like it to be reduced a little bit because waiting half a day seems a little too long

Yes please.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

The ridiculous side switch time of 12 hours is the biggest limiting factor for overall playability of AH.

+1 for dropping it to less than 3-4 hours or unlimited for side balancing purposes.

I dearly miss the 1-hour side switch times.

a good option would be to limit it to two times within a 24 hour period at players choice.  you can switch twice in 30 seconds or spread it out over 24 hours.

12 hours is way to long. 1-2 hours would be good. +1

As much as the 12 hour limit cramps my style, it does prevent wild fluctuations in the roster between the 3 countries.   

I would love to see it reduced but I think I can see a reason behind why it is the way it is, of course I could be completely wrong but that's another story. :)

Even if it was 3 hours. You wouldn't get wild fluctuations but it is a more reasonable amount of time.

I don't switch sides but as it is now its way too long before you can swap again 1-2 hours is all that it needs to be.
