Best choice I ever made
We, or I, take the HQ down to stop a Bishop or Knight advance from rolling bases. It has been successful in the past so that is why we do it. If the Bishops or Knights decide to log off because they can deal with not taking bases, that is their choice. The other night our HQ was taken down.....we didn't freak out we took 2 Bishop bases while it was down.....so the HQ is not all that important. One bonus was the Bishop shade accounts couldn't see what we were doing.....so we really didn't care if it went down. And you might take note, most of the 49th HQ take downs are not done after 10p when most of the Bishops are logging off anyway, its really a waste of time.
If any country is rolling our bases, you can expect us to hit your HQ to force you to resup it. Don't forget we also endure ENY when a side logs off so we also take that into consideration if a mission is planned. The bottom line is, and its been said before by subscribers as well has Skuzzy.............you need to protect your HQ. I mean if you defended your HQ like you do some of your Vbases we wouldn't be able to take it down. You rarely see a HQ taken down in Mid or Early War because there are low numbers and like I said it does not give that much of an edge when there are few players. I mean really what is all that important about a Dar Bar....the base still flashes when there is an intruder.....the chat buffer still works....so there is still communication on country as well as voice chat.
And also when we do a GV mission to HQ we are now recording the operations......seems a few of the Bishops have the uncanny ability to find us when we are so far away the HQ doesn't flash. And when the HQ is taken down we move to a different position. We also change location if a plane fly's close just in case they were filming also. The Last GV mission we did we had people fly right to us.....so some one had some way to find GV that do not show up on a map....no one disco'd during that mission and was showing a dot. Something real fishy about how we were found out. No big deal, but were going to be filming missions in the future.....and using out of game coms.
