For those players that like to avoid contact and be strategic, I just don't understand why you don't go to the offline and bomb buildings there... Its FREE too.
This isnt about "changing the game" or "whinning" it is about why the HQ is causing a problem to the diminishing player base. Like Semp or someone said, might as well fly MS flight Sim if you want to fly around all afternoon and avoid combat.. The graphics are even better too!
The whole point of radar is to be able to use it to find action on the map, be able to defend bases, and to measure the size of the enemy/friendly ratio of planes in that area.
Killing HQ for a day would suck sooo badly. I don't even know how you think this would be a good idea. So many new players wouldn't be able to find any action on the map. War play would be very stale. The argument goes on and on. I could make arguement until I was blue in the face about why we need HQ and radar as part of the game.
Once HQ gets coaded to where more of a team effort has to shut it down, and players kill HQ to actually win the war, instead of ruining everyone's fun with no single point in attacking it, then you will see that we can still use the HQ for exactly its same purpose, instead of doing it out of spite in the off hours. It is the most skillest aspect to the game, yet causes the most grief. Bombing is the easiest thing to do in the game. There is nothing strategic about flying to 29k in a bomber and downing HQ for no reason, while the rest of your team has no interest in capturing bases or using the teamwork to do so.
