It's been a point of contention for a while now, and there's still inconsistencies with which abilities can and cannot be used in HQ sectors. So I'd like to hear some thoughts on the matter, and whether or not such a change can be implemented in the upcoming balance preview.

What do you define as a "HQ Sector"?
Are you counting OKW trucks as HQ Sectors? What if they're built together in a sector?

Offensive artillery (IE - one where the longer the enemy is there, the more shells drop) is already disabled

By HQ sector he means the sector in which the base emplacements are kept and where all tech structures (aside from OKW) are kept. Also, I don't know if there's any "types" of artillery in this game, the whole thing seems rather inconsistent, with almost all EFA abilities allowed in bases, some WFA abilities, and no BAF forces allowed in base IIRC.

Yes they should be disabled.

you shouldn't be able to base cheese with stuka, IL2, ect.
It was for a time when you could build arty in your base but now its just an oversight.

It should be one answer for all of such abilities in the game, not like now, when some abilities have such privilege without any reason. In my opinion - yes they should be disabled within HQ sector.

Since WFA and UKF brought powercreep to offmaps thus they decide to disable some of them, my answer is yes so as to bring consistency overall.

On the other hand, i'll say we need less powerful bunkers inside base (OKW/USF)

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

I know the OKW bunkers are more powerful, on account of them being able to damage light vehicles and shoot down planes rarely, but, other than the extra 2 on the base circle itself, what makes USF bunkers more powerful than Ost, Sov, or Brit bunkers?

The extra MGs on the circular base are unnecessary IMO. We have problems on certains maps that MG bunker cover part or completely strategic points outside base, sometimes this extra bunkers make it worst (example Crossing in the Woods).
