Who has time for that? I don't know about the rest of you, but with all my other responsibilities, I schedule my AH time whenever I can. If that AH time consists of having to circle a building at 35k waiting for something that may not happen, I'd rather not log in at all and do some other activity with my free time instead.

Like I told Icepac last night, it is boring and not great gameplay.

And then what if it is a GV attack.  Not sure why HTC doesn't address this problem of gaming the game?

Has this topic now become part of the Whine of the month club?

What is Decembers selection?  Is there a poll that is taken to determine the monthly whine?

it's as much "gaming the game" as attacking HQ with a bomber or shelling it with 8" guns.

It's not an issue with BOMBING HQ, it's an issue with the effort not being equal on both sides. You can't make it so one guy can spend 30 minutes to knock out dar and then one guy be able to repair it in 30 minutes. There is no way to stop others to help in the rebuild. However you could make it so that 5 guys are needed to take it out in a 30 minute trip...... cause you know they are going to bail  :devil ....and then the 5 guys running a bunch of resupply runs can rebuild it in 30 minutes.

I don't mind people being able to hit HQ, but there has to be an even counter to it.

I have mixed feelings on this topic.... but the fix is to
have a volunteer or two patrol the area around HQ.
The question now becomes, who will the volunteer be?  :devil

We did operation FistF### last week.  Dropped it 3 times after hitting city.  Down times varied between 120 and 165 minutes each time.

If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

And probably caused 20 people to log off.  Congrats, you'll soon have the arena to yourself.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Perk aircraft when loaded with heavy ordinance.......

Reward aircraft ,so perked, ( with more perks) when landing successfully in relationship to the effective use of said ordinance.

Make the price of failure significant. ( in ordinance perks)

Make the reward worth the risk. (In ordinance and bomber perks)

Yey to perked ordinance!
I think it is on the roadmap for AH 5.0
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.
