I don't know who is currently the Head King President Big Cheese of Ultimate Awesomesauce in the Rock n' Roll squad, but I'm still the Dear Leader of the Latrine Wing, and we're always recruiting!

(Btw, I'm taking donations so I can start my first month's subscription. Please and thank you .)

The 49ers are one of the most fun squads to fly with. Sad to see them leave the knight side, I will hang out with them over in rookland often though. As for the HQ, the bish have been keeping knights HQ down for the last two days in the early morning hours US (evening in China) because its always 2-3 knights vs a horde of 17-20 bish. My guess is a lot of bish are in the UK. Not complaining, if you got the manpower, might as well use it. However, we will return the favor on the HQ.

salt there's like 5 of you outside of the united states .

We look at this game as a WW II simulator not the arcade game you'd like it to be.

Exactly what aspect or mission of WW2 are you simulating by driving a convoy of M3 GMCs 200 miles through the heart of an enemy nation without being noticed by the inhabitants, to shell down a building that magically makes every radar at every base on one side stop working without any indication to any living person that the magic building is under attack?

Talk about arcade games...

HQ hardness has been changed to 100,000 pounds of bombs?

The imaginary one in griefers' minds......

sheep it!  I don't care what's said about them, if they're leaving an airfield, on my team, Aces High III! I'll be joining them. It's always more fun with support... Plus it seems the hate is so strong that last night while escorting them to hit bish city, i was overwhelmed with the welcome mat that was put out in the order of 163's n the like. . .

Good, Bad, & Trolls, we have'em all....

Thanks 49's for keeping the angst of cartoon war alive.     (just let me know if you're going to do that to our country, and I'll also roll out the welcome mat, errr "Death Warrant", err whatever perk price bounty is placed on you guys)

Natcigg, I refute your lameness claim. 

[Changeup]

Ah griefers griefed!  Well done Hitech.

Dale,

I'm going to start flying again thanks to your decision to bomb the griefers.  I'll be adding my 4 shade accts too lol

Killing the HQ is the least strategical asset to hit on the map. I expected you "bomber geeks" to have understood that by now.   
Thank you Hitech!

at the risk of bursting into flames... I woulda thought for total air superiority and unchallenged bombing runs, the HQ would be the MOST strategic target for bomber geeks...

It's just that very little of the arena population give a hoot to actually defend the thing that affects their gameplay so much. Ok Ok Ok you dont want to climb out to their alt.... (Insert wish)...  30  of our 88mm  flak guns around HQ would be a nice touch no?

You should focus on killing the HQ when you almost have a victory. You kill the HQ to take the last 2 or 3 bases you need without the enemy knowing which bases you will attack. That is the strategy to killing the HQ and winning the war.

 Now, if your team still has 25 bases to capture, while one person goes and hits the HQ. Two things will happen, one the person who killed the HQ has taken the fun out of the other team and they will log and do something else. 2, you won't have a strategic team that wants to go capture base after base, therefore, you killed the fight for everyone else that was having fun, while also not coordinating your team to capture bases, thereby making the map boring for your team as well.

This is a combat game, not lets see how many people we can get to log by being a chooch. 95% of the time, the team that kills the HQ still doesn't capture any bases. It's a clear statistic I've seen over an over again. A lot of times, your team has no idea their HQ is even down. Why waste 2 hours of your time attacking the HQ when it literally does nothing to directly benefit your team?

You'd be much better off going base to base and killing ords.
You'd be much better off using a 110 raid with 7-8 people to demolish a nonpopular base for a quick base grab. You'd be much better off going to strat factories and knocking them down.

There are so many other better options to be destructive on the map without having to kill the HQ and the best part is, you slowly weaken them without them realizing it, that way people still enjoy the game and it still serves a purpose for offense and defense. This makes capturing bases much easier for your team.

You are missing the entire point Violator, they just want to piss people off, and if it does it so strongly that they quit that's a win win in their book because now they have diminished opposition for the next time they hit HQ and the next......ad infinitum.

While I have been defending the HQ as of late, after I kill the incoming buffs I've been PM'n these guys and asking why they do it when they know it does make people log.  I'm a Knight so it's bish and rooks I'm defending it from and to a man, over and over again, I get the answer "because the 49'ers keep dropping ours.  That's what I believe the saddest part of this whole thing, the 49'ers game play makes people log and inspires others to do the same thing to make even more people log.  It's sad, truly, it doesn't make me mad it just makes me feel sad for the game and the great people that are here that just want to have some fun.

There is always a squad like these guys, before them it was the V-tards and before them it was the Clam Humpers and before that it was the..............I'm convinced it's the same group of guys that gravitate toward squads that just like being knobs.  The 49'ers will implode sooner or later and we will be on to the next one, with the same guys.

HQ hardness has been changed to 100,000 pounds of bombs?

Yes. 5 minutes of basic downtime and a hardness of 100,000lb of damage. But it has to be done manually each time a map changes

For the record, 100K equals 3 formations of Lancasters or 2 formations of B-29 (with the 40x500lb loadout). Imho, that's still not that much at prime time, but should reduce the number of HQ dropping during off hours (in other words: at a time when it's most detrimental to the arena, as you can mostly forget any chance of resupping).
