Title: Hanger down-time
Post by: RELIC on November 20, 2007, 10:38:06 AM: Forgive me if this has been covered before - I did a search and was unable to locate an answer.
The down time for Fighter, Bomber and Vehicle hangers is 15 min BUT does bailing after taking them down shorten this in any way? I heard a rumor that if you bail right after taking down a hanger the rebuild time drops to 7 min.

I guess it's possible that HTC did botch the downtime, but the help says http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/map.html (http://www.hitechcreations.com/ahhelp/map.html) down time is 15 min and can not be helped by resupply.

I guess maybe an email to HT will be the only way to confirm yay or nay - unless some helpful staff member responds to this thread. :)

Post by: Lusche on November 20, 2007, 01:35:29 PM: As long as I have been playing, every few months I have heard the rumor that hangar downtime has been reduced. Each time people had been absolutely sure that hangars didn't stay down for 15mins.

This has never been verified.

Hangars rarely go down at the same time and players often tend to underestimate the time it takes to turn their buffs around and finish the job. Or they didn't take into account that someone else took down one hangar several minutes before. And as we know, once only one fighter hangar pops, map info shows "Fighter Hangars: Enabled".

Which map?

I timed on last night in LW orange, and it was 15 min.

Baltic and the map with the sea in the middle was 7 min before they brought in the big map. haven't had a chance to time big map myself but my squadmates were saying it was 7 min. NDisles was 7 min last night.

Maybe hey are forgetting to account for daylight savings time? Perhaps metric minutes?
