I am broadly with  Zoney ( I think)

Ideally for me

- Local dar bar to origin base always on
- Local dot dar to origin base requires local radar healthy (friendlies beyond radar range only show when transmitting)
- Country wide dar bar requires HQ at least to 50%
- Country wide dot dar requires HQ at least to 50% and various local radars healthy.( full sight of all friendlies)
- Terrain wide dar bar requires HQ to 100%.

HQ hardness doubled.

Or...   A box of supplies reduces rebuild time by 10 minutes instead of 4, like a town.  This alone would make a huge difference.  Leave the devastating effect, but make it easier to bring it back up.

If anything...

Have the town resupply take 4 minutes per run to get a town and town guns back up.  Have the HQ resupply take 10 minutes per run.

Just reverse what is already there... 

I like that.

+1 Downing the HQ ruins game play, and becomes increasingly worse with less players.

Better yet ask thyselves why this is even happening. We have always had dweebs and knuckleheads but this seems extreme even for computer game dweebery. I mean this HQ thing smells like the dinner I had last night while it was going out bound.

My guess is its a few mopes who have thousands of bomber perks and feel they have nothing else to do with them, are bored, and or are leaving the game itself. Kinda like the Bomber equivalent of the guy leaving who uses up all his perks flying 262s non stop for a few days.

What I dont get is their motivation. Why ruin the night for so many others who have done nothing to you? Why be a negative conduit to a game that has never lied or thieved from you? Now I dont blame anyone for pulling stunts on games like BF4 or IL2 but Aces High, no matter what one might think of it, or how its been developed, has never Lied or deceived its membership.

+1, or just make radar datas inactive for the fields your plane/GV is not !
After all, an HQ purpose is to broadcast the big dar picture,
local planes inflights in their grid should have access to the dar datas in the grid they are inflight! :old:

HQ cutting off all local radars is simply an ARCADE feature,
and in front page of AH2 its written : "High fidelity flight simulation is the heart of Aces High"! :rock


HQ feature is a complete non-sense atm. :bhead

Enough with the country-wide dar going down already.  I have resupplied the HQ enough to last a lifetime. 

Please eliminate this "feature", it sucks.

I try to intercept HQ raiders whenever I can and it is almost always the same handful of players I run into.

Yep, on both sides, same guys hitting HQ, same guys defending HQ.

It's not a gamey tactic nor is it exploiting a bug. It's a game feature deliberately placed by HTC, and thus it's a totally legitimate target, just as CV's, hangars or towns are.

i remember bomber pilots whining that hq was too easy to resupply. "it's back up before you rtb!!"

they got their way..

i guess there must be more of them than there are people who are annoyed by not being able to find other players to combat in a multiplayer combat game.

How about just discouraging the people that are dropping HQ? Too boring?
