Now this is truly a great idea Morph.
This idea along with a better allocation setup for new players/accounts. Sorting new players to the average outnumbered country, locking them and all players in for a tour at a time once they have pressed the "Change Country OK" button ONCE per tour (with the exception of the Rule you have disclosed. )Would certianly balancing the MA numbers better than anything we have seen in the past.
Heck SOMETHING.

I found it amusing at first but it got old. Its just a game folks :) I would change sides to have fun and meet new people more often if i didnt have to hear so much chit...from both sides.


I flew with the rooks for a lil bit. They were all a bunch of nice players so far as I could see. I have been a Knight MOST of my time in AH over the last couple years or so. I cant recall being a bish although I am old and my memory isnt what it used to be.

When I was a rook after being a Knight for a while , I didn't catch to much flak at all. In fact I stayed away generally from the Knights since my ole squad was there. I did run into em eventually and it was a blast.

If people gave you static Jaxxo I certainly dont understand it. I agree that changing sides from Rooks to Knights to Bish and back is nothing really. As long as it's done to BALANCE things or fly with friends that you may have made over time in AH.

SPying? Puuuhhlleeeaassseeeeee....I agree with Morph...where a CV is or isnt means diddly squat to me. If it's that dang important then ask someone on the opposing side. You'll eventually find someone to tell you who could give a fat rats butt.

Finding the fight minus the horde is what I enjoy. My squaddies had a fight with the Hornets the other day for about 2 hours or so between 2 bases. Noone trying to take eachothers bases. Just plain ole vanilla dogfighting. NORDE1 , Slo , Sirloin and a couple more were there against 3 or 4 of my squaddies and I. Had an ABSOLUTE blast that day. GOOOOD FIGHTS TO. MAN those guys can fly.

Thats really all this game is to me. Find some quality fights , and enjoy em. Lord knows the horde will come soon and screw it up. Taking bases , and all that stuff is fine for alot of people. Me , I just want to fight another plane , not a building.  :aok

I would like to see the perk rides price go down even more than it does.

With the numbers we had last night, the 262s were about 95 pts, I think about 45 would have been right.

163s were 25 pts, again about 12 would be right.

And the last 2 airfields a side has should get the 163s no matter where they are located.

Tempests and the other perkies 5 or so points.

And give more perkie points for kills in any ride.

Let the outnumbered players fight the pack fighting hordes with superior machines.  

This should draw players to the outnumbered sides

I think this might help too. There are some good ideas here in this thread and HT has read it at least once.

Im more than 2 years here and i have never change country, but
every one who want to change must have the freedom to do it.
Every one has his reasons.
Ofcourse the numbers is a problem, but this can be solved with
 other ways.  Like.....
If the #s of a country are more than 25% if someone change a
country (to the weakest) give him 200 perks, or 500 or 1000.
BUT he cant change again for 1 month ;)  or if he want to go back
to the strongest country then take back his perks and take more
than what he have win.
Or, again, if someone go with the weakest give him unperked planes for 15-30 days lets say ;)

lol sorry bud. :p

Most of that wasn't toward. Just the game play part. I mean honestly. If one side has more players than the other. Well then those players on that side should have the liberty of changing to any one of the other two sides with the lesser amount of players.

I agree Morpheus.

They just don't like you! :p

No seriously (if that's possible) I flew with Shane some the other night and had fun. He'd kill 1 and I'd cover, I'd kill 1 and he'd cover. It was great and learned a few things in the process. It don't get no better than that. ;)

I understand the fly with the freind part. Im sure the system could be modified to accomadate.
Another thing that might be possible.
A "Country Swap request" You send a PM to a person on the country that youd like to swictch to.(Maybe a player not attached to a squad) Ask if its cool. If he/she says yes. Then you select him/her from the roster by a right click and there would be a selection for "Swap Country" Click it...and it sends a message to that player...Like an attachment request of sorts. He/she accepts and presto....your a Knight/Rook/Bish.

Man....I love switching teams. I do, I really do. You know it can get pretty damn boring when all you see is a bunch of red dots over all your bases. I let the permanent "loyal" players defend. I find it's now what I pay for. In fact, if a field I was defending is starting to get over run, I'll switch to the other side and help them. I don't enjoy dieing, it sucks. Why should I bust my chops trying to fend off attackers when I can just switch and enjoy a victory? This isn't to say I won't stick around and try. Well mostly when I'm a Knight cause, well, I like the Knights best. If I see an enemy field right next to a factory, I'll switch so I can bomb it. I play to have fun, so anyone that would like to criticize me on that is welcome. I have fun, I switch teams, I pay 15 dollars so I don't care what you think :). If I feel like flying a spit, I will. If I feel like a furball and can't find one, I'll switch. If I want some easy kills or I want to vulch, I'll switch if I can find something like that.

Bite me :D

I think if you switch countries, you should at least loose your rank. This would keep high ranking people from switching sides and grabbing cv's to send them to their deaths, and it would act to instill some sense of loyalty. There is no penalty for switching sides at all, this is wrong somehow to me. Maybe it's just me, but loyalty to the country is the norm for Pigs On The Wing. :aok


edit:
What about limiting country changes to only the country with lowest #'s?

If this is a troll..nicely done. If not than you are a prime example of why I would pay 30 dollars a month to rid the arena of your "kind"
