ghi, I think the problem is the design of the Baltic map, which is the one with the GV spawn right there at HQ. For closing HQ that map is a poor map, but even it should be a little harder to resupply HQ once the factories are spaced out from the city. The latest version is supposed to have the factories separate from the city also, but it sure looks like that got left out somehow. Have to wait and see what happens once the factories retreat to be sure.

Sure seems like the ability of this group to have a calm discussion has improved over the last few months, huh?

Dead HQ is very bad for the game. The factories are a much better strategic target gameplay-wise. If HQ will be down for more than one sortie length I will simply log out or switch sides.

No red bars -> can't find the air war -> boring game.

No factories -> more difficult to defend bases -> have to fight harder -> good game.

these are the same 34 guys that refuse to gun down that last building, because it will ruin their ftr score

You are totally correct.

So, do you prefer  20x m3s organized , not 163s waiting for you guys to bomb HQ ?  where is the fight ?

The m3s are instant resuping HQ also, before the buffs make it back; it takes approx. 1 hour for a bomber to get to HQ, and the lazy m3s drivers spawn to HQ and resup it in minute; How does this promote fight/strategic bombing ? what"s the reward for the bomber pilot?

And same with towns , not only the bases I'm attacking, but I see on my side bases under heavy attack, 10-12 guys on radio range and only 2-3 in the air, the rest are driving m3s to town;
 Ok, you guys like this feature, enjoy it !  but this does nothing to promote fight, not for your team not for enemy;   IMO was more fair years ago with a decent downtime for towns and HQ, before we had the option to resup.

ghi I remember a month or two ago when you stated how you and a bunch of friends would resuply the strats back to normal in no time.

while I agree with you that resuplying town is no way realistic, it is done for game play's sake.  just like it is not realistic for you to kill 20 or 30 bombers in 1 hour over the strats.  but it is done for game's sake.

Isnt this something a reduced supply load on a GV load for those maps could fix?
