While a strong Rheinland battlegroup SHOULD be able to penetrate through Texas, it should get horrifically mauled before it reaches Manhattan (Unless it has no capitals etc) and if it got to Manhattan, it should be dead already.
Idea isn't to stop these sort of piercing raids, since they do happen. The idea is to show that they usually result in total defeat for the raiding force and very little actual damage achieved.
Aye, the only defence IS the player base, though the reliability of being 'there' is never enough.
Its a tough thing to balance between "no, we have thousands of BB's, you can penetrate our defences!" vs "You had no BB's online, leaving us able to penetrate you!"
Online vs offline balance is a git if it involves lore.
