So I've been paying HiTech a subscription since Warbirds v1.96 and over 20 years or so, I've seen a few things.
Having said that,
The 335th is a base taking squad. 0rick will capture 100 bases a month and he's just one of us. (sadly MIA since AH3) Since we are proficient, efficient and sneaky one of the ways other country's have evolved to counter us is using shades. Most other players and squads don't have a problem because they furball or defend or are simply not very effective in map changing actions. You don't need a spy if Rooks are not taking bases. But for the 335th is having a problem with spies and shades.
"Shades" are players with 2nd accounts or spies who change country to send back position reports. Also, a salute to those players who have an uncanny (yes these people have no can) ability to intuit where the 335th will strike next.
AH staff are probably frustrated because AH2 has been a throw away game for the last 3 years. Why spend time on throw away code? Here's a few players getting pretty vocal about something they are not interested in fixing because the games going away. The inattention from AH is frustrating to the 335th. We're a small part of AH, so it's not much an issue. HT staff are up to their elbows in alligators with AH3 problems and the 335th are really getting vocal about spying.
The new clipboard shows so much info that it makes it even more rewarding to spy. Spying with shades or just plain spying is frustrating anyway, but the new clipboard feature is over the top. Is their a solution? The only thing we can think of is a new feature.
THE NEW FEATURE
Give us the ability to hide squad and mission icons from the home country map. Any squad member can enable or disable the feature. The mission leader can enable and it's disabled after the mission. So when we launch an attack we can hide it from spies. As it is mission objectives can't be posted on country channel because of spies (real or imagined).
Give us a break HT. Pay some attention to this.
Or let everyone have 2 accounts. Just charge a little more, say $$19.95 a month for a 2 accounts. Either of these ideas are great marketing. You can thank me later.
VIVA SFOX!
