Let us know how to defend when they can gun down the HQ without even flashing it.  That 2-3 hour drive must have been harrowing, knowing full well the only danger being your tank hits a tree and stops moving while you are trying to get some shuteye.

Perhaps people should spend many hours of their precious lives vigilantly camping their own HQ, on the chance some grieftard happens by.


Go offline and blow up the HQ.  You'll get the same "action".  :rolleyes:


Send a tanks with AP........and kill the M3's ..... no dar, no flashing....hello it's GV's for crying out loud..I can tell you if it were happening to us we'd take care of the attacking force.

I think it's hilarious how guys think that two sides team up against the third, as if there was a master plan by the Aces High Illuminati.

All three sides are the same in habits and tactics.

At any time, one could look at the held territories and make inaccurate assumptions based off their observations; "you see here? This is obvious proof that these two sides are in cahoots."

Hilarious.

I did last night..only I used a 152 for 1 M3 thinking it was a bomber killed one then augerd into merlins M3 trying to kill it then upped an a20 got the t34 but merlin got away damn it ..I'm not sure how many sectors they drove lol but it was enough to where my own country didn't believe me when I told them multiple gvs at HQ lol. .the only mistake made was the t34 started his engine while I had mine off listening for any signs of gvs in my ta152 ...and yes the HQ had been flashing for a while but there was also constant enemy air cons in the area as well. .but because the 49th has pulled this maneuver off so many times I'm  now paranoid any time I see HQ flash or is down I think it's them and curiosity demands that I go take a look ....those Lil stinkers

I'm am not surprised about the paranoid feeling you get.........but you were crafty enough to do something about it instead of whining. GV's are the under dog, but every dog has it's day. I think we should just drive jeeps to every strat, park them in a barn and flash the strats for a couple of hours...Hhhhhmmm now that is a viable tatic we might look into for sure

LOL, great game play you describe there.  That's the way to do it, find something annoying to do just because you can.  So much better than upping a plane and getting in a fight.

lol if you do that you will probably see me flying around for awhile then before my a20 runs out of fuel I'll start delivering eggs to every barn I see lol if that doesn't work they're other ways to find out  where the gv is hehe no spying is not needed or would actually do any good for an enemy gv at our HQ. .as I was called last night because I was in a m8 at our airbase map room and with my sound pack I knew it was a c47 and with my surround sound headset I knew exactly where he landed and guided my guys to his location

Logged in Monday night and the Bish took the Rooks HQ down.........down for over 45 mins.

So this morning, I go in, and (knights) and find our HQ down AND that the rooks and Bish have teamed up to reduce our fields to 60%. They are not trying to win the game, but only reduce our side. they both had large percentages of rooks, yet little to none of each others'. For the most part in here I see the whiners being from those two sides, with a few well thought opinions from Lusche who has been playing knights mostly, that I've seen. Why is this, I wonder?

If you weren't a paranoid chess piece loyalist, you would see the same complaints about every single thing in this game come from all three sides.  Spend some time on "those two sides" when they are outnumbered and you'll see - if only you would open your eyes.

Yeah it's GVs, brilliant deduction, but the HQ is already down at this point, no?

Send tanks?  Like warp them over there?  Or drive for an hour or so?  FUN!!!  The damage is already done, what good would tanks do?

There are other ways it could have been handled like having radar around HQ, changing what makes it flash, increasing the damage needed, closer resupply or defense fields on some maps, etc, etc.  I'm guessing that with a new release coming out, the down time band-aid was the best choice when weighing time, resources and results.

There once was a griefer named Hugh
Who lived just drop an HQ
The attention he craved
From actions depraved
Kept his testicles from dropping too.

Drop testicles .... not HQs.
