lol, funny.

I have noticed that it is different for each map or so seams to be. Can HQ be made to have a 1 min down time? If so, who would like to see it always this short?

Eh ... doesn't phase me none whatever the setting. But I would go so far as suggesting that the design of the maps should be a factor. If the HQ is easy to get to and pop ... give it a lower downtime (minimal if need be). If the designer has the HQ set as far back to the rear as possible with all sorts of defensive measures to protect it (be it 2 or 3 times as many ack emplacements or whatnot) give it a longer downtime.

Then again .... the AH HQ wasn't designed right imo. It shouldn't have a negative impact on dar until it's completely destroyed and rebuild should work like any other strat.

Yes we can adjust downtime on the HQ to whatever we feel is appropriate. That is one thing that I really haven't messed with in my setups and it pretty much stays the default setting.

I always set mine for 1 MINUTE when I did set-ups.

This kept one person from "Porking" the radar for one whole side for 30 minutes while it rebuilt. You could still take it out at each field and limit it for that area (like in real life) but the rest of the net would stay up.

Personaly I think it should be the hardest to kill and should take at least a squadron to kill it. Whats 12 Ju-88 bombloads? Or 12 B-26 bomb loads? I quess 30 min down times is fair if it takes an effort to killo it.
