Stop Base Capture and Manned Guns in the MA for a Tour

It would interesting to see if the air to air boys get their wish by the air being filled with X-M3 drivers and X manned gunner's.

I am in if they want to give it a try.

Without base captures possible, not much of the game makes sense.  Strats, supply, troops, tanks, bombers.  What exactly would those fights be over?  It would turn the MA into the WWI arena with better planes, and we can see how much that gets used.

Bombers could still bomb what ever they wanted just troops would be disabled.  Not sure what they would do about the task groups and manned guns.  Tanks could still battle each other.

Show me a quote where the "air to air" guys want base captures stopped. Stop with the exaggerations!

Many players would like to see the re-supply of the towns curbed a bit so it isnt the FIRST thing a player looks to do when he/she sees an enemy plane on dar at a base.

what would the point be if you can't win a base-bish would freak out.

-1 all you are doing is just turning the arena into one giant furball.   What is the sense of bombing anything?

The result would be quite disheartening for subscribers.

WW1 arena's years-long sustained lack of interest is tangible evidence that this will not work how you want it to.

Instead of eliminating base capture I thing once a week there should be a period of time when nothing comes back up except hangers and maybe dar. I'd be interested if it would invigorate the map. Best defense would be a good offense.

How about making sups work for resupplying towns only if they have 30+ min of down time... that way you resup bases so they don't get snuck. But resupping them during the middle of an attack would not work.

. . .

There are multiple threads asking for game changes to increase air to air combat.  Not sure how you see this as an exaggeration.

It would be an interesting test.

sounds like an utopia to me. 

I bet the skill levels of those who resort to jumping in guns, GVs and m3 resupplying at every opportunity would increase (practice makes perfect) resulting them having more enjoyment and success in the air resulting in a positive cycle of increased aerial combat.   Making everyone much more amicable and friendly.     :airplane:

How about "Steal the Bacon" where all sides start with one base only?   Go!

Or a more randomized, non-contiguous territory lineup like Wheel of Fortune?

That could be interesting.
