20-25%

That’s 40-50% in a gang bang. Whats left is strat bases, but not all airfields. 60% had us down to 3 airfields. FT

GNers still want it where two countries can still pummel one to dust. Thats the problem in the first place

Conflict of interest

I’m nit going to repeat repeats about it happens to everyone crap deflection. IT IS NOWHERE NEAR EQUAL. Ya You GBers are just trying to grift the current status quo.

Still no denial of coordination with the other GB country. I don’t think the suggestions are truly if an honest broker

Same basic answer. Empathy.

The more complex answer is I’ve been doing this about as long as anyone and I can recognize the difference between a war winning push, the need to fight our way out of a corner, and simply kicking the team that is down. And, while I’m primarily a fighter pilot, I do move mud. Lots of it. Just 3k at a time.

I agree sometimes there is some "kicking while they're down" at play, but I still don't quite understand how joining the dogpile on the other side that is down fields is doing anything other than helping the side that is up?

And then you have people who struggle with concepts like "object permanence" and don't grasp that the game has completely different numbers situations at different times of the day...

That mechanism already exists - it called... strat(egic)s and in combination with tactics it's almost like HTC has given you exactly what you want!   They even made sure it could be defended or mitigated!

Unless you're asking for longer downtimes on player-actioned aspects like hangars?  Not happening.  As for reduced capabilities via tactical bombing, no one is bothered to take out fuel/barracks on bases so that potential impact is minimalized by player (non)choices.

Yes, I know my favorite thing is to dump troop factory, and then go take out barracks all around town. I just want to be more dynamic. I like the idea of certain things reduce or eliminate certain things sort of like they do now just more.

Does taking out all the fuel tank tanks still eliminate how much gas you can use I forget if that’s still a thing that was one of my favorites.

Fundamentally, I treat maps the same way I look at individual fights. Fun is more important than winning. When there are a hundred bases on a map and we’re down one or two, pounding a particular team is not something I want to do. I have zero interest in joining a 10 on 2 for the sake of evening up the base count. So, if I can drum up a bit of a scrum on a dead front I will. Used to be I didn’t have to ask for help. If I showed up alone, someone would rise to meet me. These days I pretty much need two players or more to get anyone to defend. Otherwise I’m just moving mud and watching 88s take pot shots at me.

For me the MA is a game, not a war. Games are supposed to be about fun. Not necessarily winning.

Events…that’s where the war is. I’m a different pilot there. Gang, pick, HO, run, hide, are all options. Anything I can do to survive and win.

+1 on the MA. I have enough milk in my refrigerator.
