Well... Dropping your HQ is a piece of cake without spending 15 hours to drive there, i can kill it anytime and u can do nothing to stop me. But due to the effects on the game i dont drop HQ, it dont really help my team and it dont help the game.

I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would want to drive 15 hours in a make believe tank, just to take down the other team's HQ.

I'm all for the commitment. I think that was very courageous of you. But holy macral what were you guys thinking??

Anywho can't wait till I find one of your bomber missions! I'll be licking my chops  :devil

What is your ingame name BTW?

To be honest idk why we do it...I will do gv base takes or hit strats in GVs if its within 3 sectors. I think we (not including myself O dont have the patience) do it because no one else does. We can effectively and accurately drop anything with an artillary strike from 6miles (no flashing of base). I think thats something that the 49th will use to accomplish objectives IE base sneaks or dropping town and or deacking for a force thats ib. I prefer bombs but hey its everyones $15 right? and my ingame name is 49Boob.

Me either, but I commend their effort.  I think 1 lanc being able to take out HQ is bull feces, but this is brilliant.

No.  First, nothing in this game is courageous as it is just a cartoon, not real.  However, if you are talking cartoon courageousness then still no.  There is no flashing, no darbar, no indication whatsoever of the attack until after it's successful.  So zero probability of the mission being a failure.  Zero probability of going against any resistance.  100% probability of success.  And it's all based on a "feature" of the game, namely that the HQ can't be bothered to pick up the phone when the first shell lands and tell someone it's under attack.

And the point is? Could it because they did something unorthodox and you didn't?

I'd say the point is it's about as impressive as leaving Progress Quest on for a couple days and crowing about the results.

Well you guys def bring some strategies to the war game. No complaints there.. Other than if I'm playing and you kill my HQ, I will find you and I will kill you, although I don't do the whole tank thing so you lucked out there.

I do however like boobs  :cheers: if you didn't notice  :D

But what is Wizz's ingame.

I need to know so I can send my spy LVT 300 miles inorder to track down his every move.  :devil
