Eny and A8

[Misfit]

Someone want to explain to me how the ENY on the A8 went down to 25 but yet the P47s are running at 30, 35, and 40?

To me the A8 and P47s are pretty much even planes, so why is the A8 being changed?

In the Developement announcement Pyro said:

When the new tour begins, look for some changes in plane ratings. ENY values will be updated and a few rarely used perk planes will probably see a price reduction.[/b]

Sounds like they started tweeking eh? I would guess the F4U-4, Spit 14, and Ta152 will all be lower cost.

Everyone is going to have their subjective opinion of the comparative value of one plane to another. I imagine the values they come up with will be based on the mass of 3 years of data on them that has been accumulating. It's not important what we think a plane should be. The values are being changed to create a MA environment that more closely resembles HiTech's ideal. Just trust his judgement and keep the pissin' and moanin' to a dull roar.

C-hog was 10, 152 was 17, F4U4 was 32,
Spit14 was 34 just afew minutes ago, of course these will fluctuate greatly according to MA vagaries. I didn't pay much attention to all of them but the Tempest was 44 and even the 262 was only 160-something.

Really?
My A8 cant load 10 rockets + 2000lb + 1 DT. BTW, F8 (the always forgotten plane) cant neither. And none of these cant choose between different ammo quantities, P47 can.

None of that (save maybe the ammo) affects ENY values.  That is all OBJ value data.

What he was saying is that the P-47 and Fw190A-8 are fairly matched opponents in air-to-air combat.

I think he is a little off and the P-47s hold a bit of an edge.  But then I think the Fw190A-8 is a death trap and would take an Fw190A-5 over it for nearly every task.

MA usage also affects ENY valuses, though I have trouble imagining that the P-47D-40 sees less use than the Fw190A-8.

See I knew flying the 190 A-8 would throw the Eny value of my Anton downward

Apparently the flying parachuting midgets did get to the HTC offices and knawed Pyro's ankles .

thats what happens when you have n00bs taking it to vulch feilds for perks because they hear you can get more points for 2 kills in an A8 than 10 in a P51.

Incidentally, although the Lgay7 was not perked, much to my personal chagrin. It's ENY value was lowered to 5 the same as the 262, basically an admission that is a perk quality plane. Comforting to know that exclusive Lgay7 drivers will only earn enough perks to fly a 262 once every 83,000 years or 4 million kills whichever comes first.

thats not the point how many Spit14s do you see?

its all spit9s spit5s and for cvs its seafires

but almost nobody flys spit14s

i realy like the LA7 eny 5 now

and the P40S!!!! P40E 45 ENY P40B 60ENY!

[Misfit]

If the watermelon aint broke why fix it?
The A8 see's less action in MA then A5 (i believe anyways, not gonna go dig up the numbers).

I Agree Godo about loadouts totally.

Whine, no this is not a whine, it was a question.
As for me asking it, i realize now it was a mistake.

Also do you really think the average La7 pilot cares about perks?
I mean flying a 262 is more work then flying a La7.

[Tilt]

Some one remind me how eny and obj values work..............

I agree with misfit above........... I have several thousand fighter perks and I see no attraction to many of the perked rides.

 The average La7 pilot thinks perks is a method by which to brew coffee.
