So I capture a Rook VH base in Mid-war, I'm Bish, and stay to defend. Rook comes up, ( I really want to say his name but know I probably shouldn't) and takes VH down with Lancs, he did well, couldn't stop him, and he gets me too. I know he will be back in a C47 so I up from a CV that's fairly close and get him just as he lands and releases troops, 4 got in I think. Upped a fresh plane and look for him coming in from a different direction, there he is, kill him, base safe.
This Rook, (by the way, this is not a rant against Rooks, just happened to be his country), who is ranked #1 in Mid-war, then changes sides from Rooks to Bish, and takes control of our CV, no-one can get it back as he is ranked #1. ( I know, improve your score then you can take it back! I don't play that much and this guy makes a career out of being #1, must play all the waking hours under the sun)! Guides the CV to where his buddies can kill it, which they do, then when the CV re-ups does the same thing again. So not exactly cheating, I guess not against the rules, he's allowed to change sides, but still, pretty lame. The only way I can think of stopping him, or at least hindering him is to report him for abusing the chat feature, thinking using chat to tell the opposing team where to go to kill our CV is abuse, and do so. He gives up on the CV and comes back in with his shade account giving me grief, at least I got a laugh out of that.
On a related item I have also seen before where people are gonna log from the game, and just before they do they change sides and send an enemy CV to an area where it can be found and destroyed by players in their former country.
My point is, would it be an improvement to restrict a player from being able to control CVs unless he has been on that country for a set time period, a couple of hours maybe? It would certainly have stopped both the things above happening.
