As to (1) I wish HT could program the system to check for contact time. If you are fighting a twisty turning battle with a con for more then about thirty seconds you probably deserve some perk points but without hitting the bandit I dont think you deserve full perks.
Someone said that (2) had already been addressed and that there is no kill message when you land at an enemy field. I havent tried it but I dont have a problem with it the way it was. I certainly wont drive a gv back a full sector to a friendly field.
I could go either way with (3). I think HTC should either bring on a night mission arena or get rid of night all together. The way it is right now we lose guys for an hour while night cycles through.
I disagree with (4). I think the way it is simulates farmers and check points and civilians calling in to warn the base and the distance is about perfect in simulating that.
Why you want (5) I have no idea. There would still be suiciders diving in to die to one ack and then repeat until all are dead or you would see hoards swarm every field and you couldnt shoot them all fast enough. The other side of the coin is getting people to man the guns at all.
(6) is ridiculous. You have to earn the right to fly perk rides.
(7) would be better served by defending the city before the ack comes into play.
(8) is an insult all the way around.
All in all I rate your whine a 2.
