i'll give you an example.

in the old system, say i wanted to attack player x in the attempt to gain respect. but also in x's gang was player y, who had just attacked me and gained respect. so i'd stim out, but not all the way.. so that there were less than 10 minutes of hospital time left. then when i got out, i was below fair. (as you know, if you have 5 minutes of hospital time left and use a small stim, you're in fair upon leaving the hospital.)

being below fair would allow me to do several important things. even though i wasn't attacking any hideout, it would allow me to NOT be in the hospital. therefore i could scout the member list of the gang we were warring, plan out my next hit, see if player x was in fair again yet, etc. then if i find him in fair, i find his district, eat some nimbus, and BAM! attack him!

under this current business, i can't look at the opposing gang's memberlist, i can't train, do a crime, attack a hideout, or anything else, because i'm in the hospital. and when i get out, no amount of strategy in the world can prevent the stronger player from putting me right back in the hospital. which means i can't strategize or participate in the war. the under 50% HP immunity was essential in that it allowed all members, even weaker ones, to help plan, scout, and strategize for the war.

make sense now to you? did my example help to illustrate my point?
