This is war game with war mentalities... the prettythanghole$ on the other team shut your team down.. watcha gonna do about it? It's not like people in the real war could call quits and call BS when they destroyed towns and bases..

Bah, this game is about killing other player-controlled machines. Anything that makes it more difficult for the machines to meet up is bad for gameplay.

You could always jump in a goon and fix it?

What he said.

Or ask other players where a fight is happening. Even ask the other countries, but you already know that...
They're casting their bait over there, see?

So... instead of grabbing a goon and going to help fix the HQ, you'd rather complain about the mechanic?

It's pretty uncommon for the HQ to be taken out, and the last time I saw it happen to my team, we ended up in a 20 man goon hoard that swarmed it with supplies.

Grab a goon, yell for some more goons, and drop supplies, get bomber perks.

. . . And then promptly logged out. . .

You're too good to fly a goon, huh? That should cost you perks!

Funny his the Bish seem to cry hardest about the crap they do on a regular basis. I remember them hoarding all the way to Rook strats a month or two ago and pretty much kept hammering it for well over 24 hours. Could've easily won the map if they applied their tactics to Kinghts for a while but decided as a group it was more fun to grief.

Taking down the HG is hard +1

Flying without dar bar or dar assistance except for flashing bases is hard +1

Flying without dar is great practice for the FSO +1

Adding more to the challenge that is Aces High +1

Running an intercept to stop buffs at high alt from taking out HQ is hard +1
Wag more, bark less.

I have to agree with Caldera, on a big map with some 200 players online, I would log too.
maybe you should not see the dots on radar, but the bar itself, and make a tank bar too.

When we lose HQ (something that is entirely preventable). I land and up goons to resupply the HQ. HQ raiders are easily spotted and tracked by the darbar.

I can't understand people complaining about a game progressing the way it's intended to. It's part of the game, was meant to be done, just as it happened and there are remedies for such things happening. If you logged, you abandoned your fellow players and possibly squadmates along with them. BRILLIANT!

Smart HQ attackers leave some of their cap over the HQ, because  C47's are easy kills, M8's too...

I have seen that more than one time, effectively changing that resupply 20 minutes to approx one hour.

First wave of C47 where shot down by some P51's,  climbing to 15k mustangs took time, first not finding them without radar/radar bar, chasing them away took more  time, by then the HQ re-upped by itself, no-one wanted to fly the C47 as long as the strat's flashed.

Many Rooks logged even before enemy fighter cap where gone, trying to find fights in a 25*25 mile sector with a flashing field, maybe lucky meeting 1 or unlucky meeting 25 enemies, not knowing if friendlies / squaddies are close or not.

Finding the fight is what this game is all about.

The maximum a HQ stays down is 70mins w/rdr strat at 0%, default is what 45mins. Each goon -4mins from dt. Ain't that big 'o deal.  :ahand

It is a badly thought out part of the game that prevents people from finding each other for fights, which thing is already difficult enough off-peak. If someone on my own chess-piece was after dropping the enemy DAR, I'd tell them to stop griefing and get in a fighter plane. After all, without DAR the enemy will have trouble knowing which base you are coming to, and someone might hypothetically have to drop them subtle hints on 200 :devil

It happens to all countries and the tools are there to repair the problem and repay those who took it down.  I would not log, just channel that rage at the red guys. :aok
