In effect your still limiting the plane its just based on different criteria. In fact I blelieve if this was ever implemented you'd be waiting a lot longer than 5 -10 mins. e.g. if you base the limit on the current ENV limit, most still wouldn't 10 -15 mins to get one. (10-15 based on what the average ENV limit seem to be)
Maybe reducing the switch time from the current 6 hours would help?
Why would we have to base the limit on the current ENY limit? I think many, if not most, people will agree that the ENY system is a rough draft that could use a revision or two.
Ok, so far what I interpret BlackSheep's original idea is this:
1. If, and Only If, your side possesses a sizeable numerical advantage at the time, anyone and everyone can STILL fly WHATEVER plane they want, IMMEDIATELY,
ONCE .
2. If they manage to land it, (or even possibly ditch it close to home), they can take it out again, immediately.
3. If they die, crash, or are forced to bail out, then they can still fly that plane, but they are required to wait a short period to reup it. This period really doesn't have to be any more than 5 minutes.
4. If they did die, crash, or bail from a certain plane, they are still more than welcome to take a different plane, even if the difference is between an La7 and Pony, for their next sortie, immediately.
This would certainly seem to beat the current situation where somone can be deprived of their favorite ride the ENTIRE time they're on for the night (some people don't get to fly as much as I do, some people only do get half an hour, and a pony is one of those planes that can definately be unavailable for their entire nights' AH enjoyment time - which, bottom line, just isn't cool).
I really hope others can add on to how this might work, and offer constructive ideas, forsight, and concerns. I sincerely hope that this thread is not hijacked into a "switch countries already".
And BlackSheep, if I was misinterpreting some or all of your ideas, please let me know and elaborate on yours.
