Side changing request for HTC
« on: April 14, 2003, 12:03:16 PM »
it would be helpful if htc could code a way to switch to the side with lowest numbers without a time limit while keeping the same side change delay for switching to countries without the lowest numbers.

this would be most helpful since arena balance changes rapidly.

bad, for the reason bgb just gave.  And, this is a very strange request from Citibria -- I've never (and I've been here a long time) seen Cit switch to the sides with the fewest numbers.

Yeah Furious, but Cit's idea would let them switch back quickly if not immediately.

it would let anyone who wants to switch to the country with lowest numbers

sure make it a time limit like an hour or somthing should be plenty

and seriously who really cares about the stinking carriers?

I like it the way it is. You can make one switch, which should be enough. I used to fly Fighter Ace, and one of the main problems was side switching. If we(Japan) had an attack of tanks heading to germany and we had them on the run or capped, they would switch to Britain and sneak in and destroy the tanks or trigger an attack on our flank. And there were 5 teams, so they could switch around all they wanted. I understand what he is talking about, but I think this is the lesser evil(the way it is)

both good and bad fester. good for your idea but bad because it would be abused by spying and that sort of cheap behavior.
