No one is taking down HQ as a part of a strategy, have never seen that happen. it´s just to piss people off. And as said Before, there is no defence against NOE bombers, its not enough time to up and kill them once the HQ starts to flash. AAA at the HQ is also patetic and cannot even hurt a set of 5k Lancs Before HQ goes down... Add some manned double 5-inchers at the HQ and a lot of the issues would be gone...
