Auto switching works when a large enough percentage of players are using it and it balances the numbers

If not and you fly the side with the larger numbers your uber ride might be locked out

That has not been my experience and if it was working we wouldn't have post like this.

A 3 hour time switch rule would have made much more sense. But alas, the simplest solutions seem to be the most complex.

You can't fault a guy for playing the game and taking advantage of the game mechanics for his fulfillment. Afterall, it is their $15 a month.  :old:

Seems the best option is to roll a fighter and take em down before they knock out the CV.

Agreed, on all points.

Sinking a CV after being forced to autoswitch is dirty, unless that CV is being used by the enemy or has been spotted by someone on the team you switched to.  Where are these naval damage numbers coming from?  I don't see it tracked on the scores page. 
Its especially dirty if you were the one commanding it into its position.

Alas, it is the life of an autoswitcher, many times I'll be attacking a base and all it needs is troops, I'll land and then get switched to the team I was attacking.  Often times I defend the base because thats what I would normally do if it was under attack.  I'm not going to ignore that the base is in danger just because i'm the one that put it in danger.  You don't make many friends in those cases though, as they see you were just helping, but now they are dieing to you.

The only way for the game to control sides is to place players on a side as they log in. This game is more open than that but to each their own. No matter what is done.... not everyone will be happy.

Today after auto switch I went to CV90 and scanned the area in f5-f8. I spotted nme cv53 and engaged and sunk it. This enraged 99Capera and he found later on Nit side after auto switch he cursed me and called me a cheat.
 i always go to cv and scan for nme boats so if you can see it engage it. I have never gave away a boat after side switch. The fact I have over 23millon damage points shows i active on the boats. :old:

Based on this post and the fact that you adjust CV waypoints constantly while online, it isn’t too difficult to see how your actions were a source of anger for fellow players. It’s a dik move, Plain and simple.

it is, but not based on knowing where the eny cv is you having control then switch and not allowing other players to take over.
