Whatever the reason, people seem to log when HQ is down for long periods.  They may be lazy, cowardly, have A.D.D. or a phobia of seeing a map without little dots.  Why they log is less important than the fact that they are gone.

Populations are low anyway.  Stuff that prompts players to log is not my idea of a good game feature.

The tools to keep HQ up are there for guys that are in-game before it gets hit, but patrolling HQ for an hour just in case isn't going to be popular.

He he.  I hope no one does what your video shows.  Every AH player that goes there is one less logged in this game.

On a tiny map with known quantities of enemies and friendlies on it.

Well, that's an excellent, direct, apples to apples comparison.  Bravo!

Even worse than that: a few days ago, a few M4s and an M3 drove 4 or 5 sectors to our HQ.  Tanks can go right through enemy sectors without triggering any warning. The M4's rockets were able to kill it with very little or no warning and the M3 resupplied them.  They killed the HQ several times until they were discovered.  At first, it was assumed NOE Lancs were the culprit, as has been the case more than a few times. 


If someone gets mad because you best them in combat, that is their problem.  If they get mad because you enjoy making them mad, that is your problem.  A mental one.

It shouldn't be any tougher to bring HQ up than it is to take it down.
I've seen it knocked down with a single set of lancs,    If I had a GV spawn I it HQ , I wouldn't even care, it's easy perk points to drive supplies in.  It isn't fun flying goons to HQ for the enemy 262s to kill tho!
I think the balance is just off a bit, nothing wrong with what's happening, it's just to much work to repair it at 4 minute a load for supplies,  HQ dad was down for 159 minutes the last time I played, soon as it popped , bombers came and took it down again,, multiple sets from both sides,  there is no fun in flying goons all day to resupply HQ,
And why doesn't HQ have it's own dar?,, bigger than normal with more info detail?

That may be a we bit harsh, Fester. I've seen better TrackIR support...but I've also seen MUCH worse. AH support is a bit clunky but it certainly is usable with some scaling adjustments.

On a side note: if you own TrackIR go to eBay and search for "Delanclip"....buy it. You will be glad you did....vast improvement over the crappy and fragile TrackIR Proclip.  Yes,  you could make one on your own but why bother?

Wow those GVers had some cajones <S> to them.

Fiendishly clever and adventurous maybe, but hardly brave.   They weren't in perk tanks and were virtually undetectable until close to the HQ.  They drove right through enemy dar rings but since they were ground vehicles, never triggered any alarms.
