HQ downtime

[Tumor]

Sounds like a bunch of 5 year olds.

You're being generous.

Gentlemen.

Do any of you really think that giving away a countryman and his intentions no matter what those intentions are, sound like reasonable and fair game play?  Degenerative sportsmanship will only inspire more degenerative and unsportsmanlike conduct.  Please quit making excuses, dancing around the rules, and just play nice.  Even if your competitor is not playing nice, you should play nice or you are simply no better than them, and the game loses, as do we all.

   I only ever bombed HQ once, and that was for the Mossie achievement (Which I never got even though I landed it     )   And while I still agree it's a perfectly viable strategic target, It's obvious flaws are being used ONLY to grief other players. The 49ers Take pleasure in griefing the rest of the players and flaunt their exploits on country channel and 200 openly.  I watched yesterday as they brought the Bish Radar strat down to 0% and then proceeded to take out almost EVERY Bish radar on the map. What exactly is the importance of taking out radars that are 10 sectors from the front ???  Just to piss them off. that's what !

Yes.  A spy is a spy is a spy.

This current map needs to go until its issues are resolved. I personally have reached my saturation point with regards to this map
My solution to the current dar problem is simple. HQ goes down. I log off.


HQ should ONLY effect the detailed national picture. Local dar should never go 100% down as presumably spotters would at least be able to relay some information locally

Meaning this
 You are at A100. HQ goes down. At this point the only picture you should be able to get is local. You dont get to see whats going on at any other base without actually going there.

Doing this should make most people happy. The HQ raiders could still have their effect in blinding the enemy as to the big picture thus setting conditions that are favorable to other raids. Locally people would still have dar within their current dar circle. They just wouldnt be abe to see the national picture.

This way. Bombers can bomb. Fighters can fight. Everyone gets what they want

Just a silly question - why is there only one city?

Likely it has to do with the original code - but why not two or three?

This morning I log in and see the Knights having their HQ down yet again. Half an hour late it finally comes back up again but then:



With a resulting downtime of almost 2 hours. And this at a time with less than 10 players 'in flight' per country...

[Lusche]

Now, an hour later, HQ is stll down...



... and as yo can see, it's a perfect time for that.

Those of us that have limited time and wish to do ACM rather resup (in their limited time) are really concerned that some have the ability to get their kicks in doing this.  Knowing it will cause a significant number of player logoffs in an already limited player base.

Gentlemen can we please play to the beat of a different drummer and raise the bar?

Thanks

I've tried to make this point before.

I still believe the hardness should go up so 1 lanc can't down the HQ.  Make it so at least 3 must do it.  This would force a team effort to drop the HQ. 

By doing this, you have a larger DARBAR and would likely generate a response to defend.

Dropping a HQ should never be an easy task and should require team effort.

Just another man's opinion...

+1 on this idea.


EDIT: If hundreds on B-17s in WWII took multiple missions to hit a ball bearing factory (which was the norm for "precision" bombing in WWII) maybe it is not unreasonable to request that just one set of Lancs should not be able to take down an HQ.

To be honest... I would be overjoyed if HTC would get off their collective butts and fix the problem.  Just make the stupid HQ indestructible.  It's a simple friggin fix...  shut down the poop-chutes and whining all at the same time.

HTC has stated in past post there is no simple fix.  If there were, it would have been done.
