But I have officially decided my position on the ENY limiter.
It needs to go.
Anyone who knows me knows that Im a F6F dweeb to the death, and Ive only had the limiter imposed on me 1 time. Truthfully, Ive never noticed a real difference either. It isnt worth all the complaining/whining/defensiveness that has plagued us ever since the numbers problem has been stirred.
My solution:
I couldnt help notice that there is no tactical distinction between a large, medium, or small field. On each one, one well trained bomber run can knock them out, and an organized mission can cap them. So logically, lets use the old AW system and limit the amount of planes that can up from a Large, Medium, Small base at one time. You spread out the fight, make it harder for a horde to solidify, and let everybody fly their own plane.
Better yet, you can still use a percentage system to make sure that the numbers on one side don't totally turn the battle.
For Example:
(80 Rooks)
Max Large AF = 20
Max Medium AF = 13
Max Small AF = 8
(60 Bish)
Max Large AF = 30
Max Medium AF = 20
Max Small AF = 16
or something to that effect.
So even it the Rooks are pushing a small AF from a large AF, the bish can still up 16 planes to take down the max 20. I think it could work.
Ive looked at the numbers, and on Baltic it would make a fight at just about EVERY base, ranging from enormous fights to small squad sized runs. It fits everyone. For the mission crowd, its still a piece of cake. The only difference is that rendezvous points and staggered takeoffs become important... hmm.. just like WWII was.
