I think you misunderstood me… I have bases all over the world, I know about this tactic and I’m still building my 2nd squad, alas… NO HD mission has occurred for NJ anywhere, nor any for SYN in far havens that were revealed. And I had only ONE for Anu far away, that I couldn’t get to in time (it was in mid-late january). In fact, I was just able to get the first one for SYN in North America.
To get them before, I would’ve had to have both the 2nd team AND another aircraft to reveal ‘?’ sites in other regions very early. I could’ve de-prioritized about 3 or 4 bases to be able to do that, but I don’t think this tactic should be mandatory.
There needs to be more rules for some things that happen near you at the beginning, specially in lower difficulties. There’s another good topic about this:
