Oh and not knocking you for being new but I'm assuming before your time in game we had no town resupply and I never brought about the problem and nobody ever asked for town resupply....they asked for more importance to strats and that was a small part of the overall answer from HTC....I think convoys, barges and trains should be the important part of all resupply....not M3s
I'm not new, only the gameID I fly under is.
And I think you missed my point. You gave two examples where a fight ensued over a base, in both examples the base ended up being captured. But what some are claiming is that these M3 missions are somehow ruining the game because, were it not for M3s, more people would fight for the base. Now that might have been the case a few years ago, it's not the case today. When offense is going on somewhere else on the map, defense of bases seems to take a back seat. That's what I observe. I also observe it's very difficult to get help when there's a giant red dar bar over the field others are asked to help with.
Now it's been characterized that the moment these attacks happen, everyone on the defender side immediately jumps into an M3 to resupply. Well I don't know, maybe that happens in YOUR country, but I don't see that happen in mine (Bish). What I see is a few defenders up, they TRY to defend and aren't successful, as the situation devolves into what I described... you can't up there, you can't fly in to help in time from another base, and the only options are give up the base or try to stall with a box of supps. THAT is what I see happen, and it happens on all sides. Seen it as defender, seen it when trying to take a base.
All I am saying is that it IS a part of the game now. Because it is, it's not the someone trying to save a base that is the cause of reduced air-to-air combats, as some suggest. It's a air AND ground game, and it doesn't mean people should ignore one and play the way others want. If you've been around so long, then tell me when it was that there wasn't people claiming X kills air combat for this reason or that? That's always been around, this is just the latest excuse.
