Pyro rule:

2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.
X2Lee, airbumba, Masherbrum, Grits, kj714, IK0N, RTSigma, gunnss... et al- did you all miss this rule? Just wondering...

AKFokerFoder - it's a valid logic to assume that in an attempt to resolve the side balancing, it is possible that gameplay may have been sacrificed.  But I do believe the rules kick in only when the numbers are over a limit - that limit is unknown.

There could be other gameplay issues to make gameplay more enjoyable - limited numbers of late war aircraft per side because industry was targeted, limited fuel for each country because their fuel factory was hit, lot of other great gameplay stuff to impact and balance gameplay.

One of the hardest issues Pyro and HiTech have to deal with is making the non-vocal majority happy, and keeping in check the vocal minority.   Having been there, that is very very hard to do.

Mister Fork:

Thanks you for your input.  I was trying to get people to shift their thinking from it's a "numbers issue" to "it's a game play issue"  A shift in the paradigm.  The example I tried to use just got the thread hijacked.

This whole thing is not really an issue for me anymore. Since it is a game play issue with me, when the sides are out of whack or I can't fly the planes I would like to, I merely shift to another game.  That may not be an acceptable solution to some players, but it is working for me.

Your mileage of course may vary :)

Ah, jeez, just having a little fun. You may not have noticed but this same subject is being discussed on at least a half dozen other threads on the board to the microscopic level.

I can't remember what it's called but there a drill bit with 4 corner chisel around it. it makes a square hole.   I've only seen it used for woodworking though.
