ENY restrictions HAVE encouraged greater parity by and FAR better than anything so far. But it wasn't designed to disallow the possiblity of occasional anomolies where players seem to prefer plane restrictions. That should be obvious by now. It merely proved that players still have a choice. Last night players chose to remain Rook and have overwhelming numbers of restricted types of planes. And they won the war. Apparently it was yet another reason to whine about ENY restriction. 
Sorry buddy, that may be your opinion, but it is not HT's opinion. I can't be bothered to dig up his post but he said something to this effect...(I'm para-phrasing of course)
The ENY system is being implimented to force an equalizing of MA numbers, I have chosen some arbitrary settings, if these are not effective in equalizing the numbers I will keep increasing the penalty as far as it takes to do so. I do not care if people switch sides or simply log-off, one way or another the sides, at any given time, will become numerically equal before I am done.That's no joke, that's what he said. So, if you think you've heard whining now, just wait until he starts rachetting up the penalty settings. He clearly states that flying with superior numbers in inferior planes is not an acceptable option. He is just using that as a cattle-prod to herd us over to whichever side happens to have lower numbers at any given time.
If you don't remember it or believe me do a search and some thread scanning and you'll find it.
