Eat your heart out, Hangar. Didn’t even have Quarry or Refinery the whole game (although someone capped Refinery right before we got the Keep GY)
Those red, gold, and green things ate the gate like a stack of Pringles before the Siege even appeared.

Meanwhile, the other team is saying “They have 3 glaives! Our gates are going down so FAST! What do we do?” And then they all fall over and die from fright.
Hangar is bad unless you have the bonus damage of holding the quarry and oil. DO NOT jump into keep to run bombs. They do so little damage these days. better off going to defend glavies and demos of you dont have MID.
Alliance does got Hangar about 50% of the time in big numbers. So your evidence of it being Horde uncontested in completely wrong.
Get Hangar, Quarry, Oil field, and play Defense. Destroy Glavies, Demos, etc. if necessary. This is what good Horde teams do and win.
I’m sure people have mentioned this already, but another “RNG factor” of IoC is the skill of demo/siege/glaive drivers and airship gunners. A few good defense can kill vehicles driven poorly, and airship gunners hitting the wrong gate (or fewer than 5 gunners at any given time) can lose the game easily…
I agree with not jumping in and running bombs. Those teammates better serve the team by guarding oil field and quarry.
