Remove the downtime command

[Chalenge]

I wish the downtime command were removed. Never in the history of propeller aircraft was intelligence so efficient as to know precisely when an enemy asset would be available, or repaired. It simply needs to go.

Neither was the radar, but here we are.

I have to say I agree with chalenge,

and remove M3 resupply whilst we are at it. 

[Meatwad]

Just remove all instant supply. If something needs supplied, a requisition form must be filled out and sent to the HQ. Should get a response back in an hour or so

[Volron]

I'm not for or against the .dt removal.  I very rarely use it myself, and the times I actually decide to use it is to check to see about how many more sup runs I need to have something back up.  So if it were to get removed, I wouldn't care.

[Chalenge]

My wish came about after flying on the FesterMA map, which before it was introduced I had warned that it would be a problem. It is a problem and for the reasons I previously outlined, but the .dt command makes it much worse than it would be otherwise. With unfettered access to factories and HQ the enemy can use the .dt command to tell within one minute that the HQ will be up, and as soon as it is resupplied be on hand to destroy it again.

The M3 resupply issue is unrelated and I do not support that request.

Are you saying you want the .dt removed for the enemy only or for everyone?

I very rarely use it myself, and the times I actually decide to use it is to check to see about how many more sup runs I need to have something back up.

When a airstrip, bridge, or anything vital was damaged or destroyed, wasn't Command's first question "how long before it is operational again ?"

That would be my reason for allowing the .dt to only be used to check your own countries assets.

I would like to see the .dt command enabled/disabled as an arena setting than like it is now. That way the fog of war would be intact for events, but it can still be enabled for the MA.

Agreed get rid of the ability for the enemy to know what you have & when your going to get it.

and to quote myself to add to this

allowing the .dt to only be used to check your own countries assets.

In the case of a special event or scenario that would be up to the CMs whether you could see your own side or not.
As Del said, make it a setting.

Down time ought to be limited to in country structures. As for m3 re-supply, I agree in principle with it, I however think the scope of it needs to be limited. One M3 re-supping 70+ objects inhibits combat. Why up to kill attackers when you can just bring m3's to re-sup.
1. One M3 one object, maybe increase it 20 mins from 10.
2. If it takes me 30 seconds to rearm a plane it ought to take the same amount if time to rearm a GV. Such endeavor ought to render the re-arming GV helpless furring that period of time.
3. Battle damage, turret, track, ect. To repair such damage should take a lengthier stretch of time and be limited to one per sortie. nothing more annoying then turreting the same Wirb 5 times in 2 minutes.

No argument but if you remove the resupply, remove the strat effect on downtimes. Go back to specific times for all assets.

In no way did you make that clear; that's why I asked.  You said you wanted it removed... period.  Then you gave a reason relating to enemy intel.
