PLEEEEEEEASE reduce the downtime to be able to switch sides to at most 2 hours.
I know I am beating a dead horse here, but I see why they initiated the long switch times years ago due to "spies" sinking CVs and ratting out NOE missions.
Although I am sure you will still get the idiots who would take advantage of the quicker switch time, I think most of the players that would switch just to find better fights.
I love switching sides and have no country loyalty, I just choose not too because of the long switchover.
