Bring back Zone bases! Truly a combat fighting inducing concept.

What simply amazed me yesterday was the amount of  satisfaction and joy a lot of people experience when someone is not happy with a particular setup, and the knee-jerk reactions and defamatory statements & assumptions about your motives thrown around when you point out some possible gameplay problems you are seeing.

This is how this community, unfortunately, largely operates.

Not a big fan so far.  As others have pointed out it's a perpetual porked strat arena.

Could we not have both the mega and dispersed Strats?

I.E the Dispersed strat would only account for 40-60% (worked out for balance) while the mega handles the rest. This would still give targets at both locations, and to truly shut down a strat both locations will need to be takenout.

This would keep the closer targets for the Small/Med bombers to go after but also keep the High alt bomber raid.

I was just thinking the same thing but have the centralized mega strats affect downtime for the decentralized strats and then bring back zoning for the decentralized strats.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I'm having a blast.  Lots of engagement everywhere.  I expect it to get even better as it is tweaked.  Hell-of-a start  :x

Was not flying and dropping fuel tanks last night to get to targets. Could defend or attack, anywhere. Most intense areial combat fighting I've seen. Been flying for almost a year now.

Asked for that on page 2, I'd go for it. Haven't logged in since the strat changes but I'm liking what I'm reading here  :aok

Nice change, much more like when I first found AH :joystick:
