Why is city strat hardness 2.5 x's every other strat?

Must have been before my time?

Was the AH2 standard setting. Towns & field objects 10 minutes, factory objects, city and HQ 4 minutes.

It was changed in reaction to the splitting up of the central strats, where many factories moved to the front, were effectively undefended and thus constantly down. Note that about no factory had convenient ground spawns to them as they do have today.

Right! Instead of buying another pc and account or 2 they complained about it and thus it was changed ruining the experience tremendously.

I knew a guy who was running 3 accounts on the same country for bombing on 3 seperate laptops. He was a resupping machine when he wanted to be. No need to worry about dt back then he was getting 3 to 1 on his returns lol

  Yes,I thought he was talking about base and town items. I hated the 4 min strat time! It sort of evened out as far as time spent. I could climb to defend the strats and have the bombers bail, or just run 3 loads of sups in the same amount of time At least with the sups, I got something for my time

Porking the strats is stupid easy right now.  At least the city requires a little effort and multiple ships to do major damage.  What I would like to see is that hardness across all the strats.  What is the downside?

PS-  I would bet dollars to donuts my squad attacks more strats then any other squad in the game, so yes, I am advocating something that would directly have an effect on me and I'm all for it.

If its not your squad its ours. The 49th always has someone hitting strats via GV or Buffs. We're the reason the HQ time is 5 min and the City is hardend.

Once the HQ time dropped we would drop city to 0% then kill HQ and it would be down forever. resup the tanks or m3s and do it again. when this happened Rooks rolled bases come to think about and thats the only time rooks would really roll bases probably due to the fact the defenders started logging off.
