Your solution is for me to kill the boat at a port and wait for it to respawn so combat can happen!?! You have got to be trolling because there is no way you don’t understand how unbelievably stupid that sounds.
Combat will happen regardless. It has already been happening. You said so yourself. Don't pretend to be stupid, you're clearly not.
Successful combat (i.e. taking the base you want) will happen if and only if you check all the boxes. Town wf, base deacked, whatever.
There is an extra layer of prep for the ~1% of base take tries where a feet dry spawn exists. Once stuff gets resupped instantly, only the clueless would not understand what's happening and adapt.
You don't seem clueless.
So what's your point, other than the one I just debunked?
Lowering onesself to the level of insult vs debate suggests you get it. You just can't "win" this debate any other way. And so you revert to a straw man argument to try to pretend to win.
Why not simply say "I don't
like them! They spoil my plans (and those of your horde, if you have one in tow)? And then adapt accordingly?
Wouldn't that make things more interesting?
