since capture is enabled someone could be really tardish and ruin some good field caps

I think it should be shorter than in the MA, so that sides can be balanced, but long enough that someone can't find out your plans, and jump ship to fight you - which happened to us today.  :(

I would think that a country change time of ~ 1 hour (60 minutes) would be a decent setup. That way you would not have people changing teams and upping to nail you when you get to your next target.

As Kratzer mentioned that happened to us the other night. We had a few missions rolling and taking bases along the southern coast and one of the mission members for the first two left and reupped on the Allies and "happened" to be in the next discussed target area that we flew into. The player also "happened" to bring along 3-5 other Allied fighters which totally wiped out a mixed bomber/fighter/troop flight quickly.

So don't take this as a whine. Just as an explanation of why I feel we should have a time limit on changing teams instantly.

In an arena that's got (so far) so few players, it's important to be able to switch sides to balance things.  If you're REALLY worried about spies, perhaps have a 30-minute lock of some sort.  Not many Great Plans take longer than that to implement, so security leaks shouldn't be a huge problem.

30 minutes sounds great to me.  Just don't whine when you see me flying a German plane.  I need them ez mode cannons!  :)

EZ mode german cannons? Which plane has that loadout?

The last two days, I've had nothing but blanks and tracers that magically pass right through targets.
