If hitting the hq must only effect the radar system, have it only cause the loss of field radars and not the dar bar.  Additional effects from the hq could be incorporated into winning the war in some manner that justifies the time and effort to attack it, just don't make everyone blind in the process.

It's funny you mention this. I've always felt the local field radar (dot dar) should stay up in these situations. After all they were locally controlled and can still be eliminated locally anyway. IMO darbar should go down but feild radar should remain operational until the tower goes down.

Now you're either insulting me or you have bad taste in comedic actors, but you're pretty enough to get away with it.

I can't believe you're giving us this Oscar-worthy comedy improv for free.  Sing your Channukka song again, that gets everyone in stitches!

If this were Bish doing it to Knights would you have the same objections, or would you  

If you can answer that honestly and say that its garbage all the way around, then it's probably lonely over there for you.

There are strategic reasons for taking the HQ down. A few days ago nobody wanted to help me take a base, so I hit bish ack, hit bish city, then went and deacked a field, moved cv closer, went and took down your hq and then hit the town with the cv, after all that I flew a goon in and captured. Was a lot of work, but rewarding to me, although I don't often have the time to do all that, many others here have way more time and do much less.

Maybe your solution is to switch countries if it's that frustrating?

Chess piece loyalty... Never could figure that one out.

I could never figure out why someone would choose AH to play in GV's , but to each his or her own.

Maybe so, but the information from that radar would only be available locally if, as I imagine it, the Hq takes the information from the radar and relays in to areas out of radio range.  For instance if your dar was up, it could only show maybe to those within that radar circle when HQ's are down.

I've always imagined our darbar and radar as a simulation of what ground observers, radar operators and other aircraft would give as information all the way up to HQ.

It is certainly more of a challenge to find an aircraft with no dar bars.  There is no lazily flying along not having to look out your canopy because you know there is no threat in your sector.  There is no lazily flying along with your nose pointed at the red dot within your dar circle.  It's harder.  The harder the effort the greater the rewards.

Get in your aircraft, grab a wingman, and go hunting......................

We had this thought, closing that particular country down COMPLETELY for a couple of hours.
ie all Strat and all fields that where not captured would be down with  jabos and buffs waiting to hit buildings that upped.

Then again .... we want someone to fight, not anything else.

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.

Who gives a crap about dar?

I don't think I've ever seen it down more than 10 mins. I'm sure the guys on appreciate you logging in, taking a screen shot and crying on the BBS rather than spending the 3 min flight to the HQ with supplies. Well thought out.

Like I said, while looking for fights and being in a furball is my favorite thing about the game, it's a war game country VS country and the point is to shut the other team down. Its really not that hard to find a fight. Take off on some front line base with a p47n heavy in attack mode and pork a base or something. I almost garuntee that some one will up and attempt to stop you. If not at least you can get some points by porking.

Did you really look at the map?  What kind of fuel are you running in your C-47, Liquid Schwartz?

[Gemini]

If one wanted to simulate flying cargo planes, there are probably better flight sims out there for that sort of thing. Most players are paying their $15 bucks a month to aerial *combat*, not air-lifting.

Agreed.

I would do the same thing as caldera if I logged in and saw that.

I wouldn't even know what to do with a goon to get the HQ up again...leave all that land grabbing crap to the people who can't fight.

It does not help you if enemy have pickers still at the HQ, they force you to up fighters and then, maybe do your milk run.
Smart enemies make you pay with you time.
