Rooks have the lowest number of players, NO Eny restriction, and gangbanged by Knits and Bish.

All is right in the world.

Yep, lets dump the ENY factor and get back to business.

I was quite willing to give it a try, but all in all, I think it had a small impact.

Players will decide the numbers. They always will. That is why we pay to play.

go figure.

HTC is a pretty smart company. They encourage thier customers to regulate thier product (not a criticism, a compliment). Bottom line is HTC is willing to listen to thier customers, and try different things to make an improvement, based on what input they get from thier customers.

I love this sim, and lease excuse the jumbled thoughts. RTR's been having a few "wobbly Pops" tonight.

hehe.

You couldn't be anymore wrong RTR. The ENY Limiter did its job.

There has been a shift in numbers in the MA due to the ENY limiter.

Complete squads have switched countries along with individuals to try and balance the arena because of the ENY Limiter. The ENY Limiter will probably remain in place for quite some time.

As long as the arena is balanced within the parameters that HT has set, then the ENY Limiter is disabled ... or virtually removed. Once things get out of hand ... it will kick in again. The way the parameters are set now ... its really no big deal unless things get way out of wack.

since 42 has not posted... i thought i better clear this up.

JB's did not change because of the ENY in any way whatsoever.

99% of what we fly is not affected by the ENY issue. we switched because of a lack of respect in the rooks, and a lack of overall teamwork. too many loose cannons, and "it's all about me / my sortie" types not caring about how the country does in the "war".

Have you found the Knits to be any better?

he im just the messenger LOL

i was no way involved with this decision, in fact i had not been online for like 2 weeks.

that being said.. surprisingly yes, the knights have been working well together at least around us.

The only thing the ENY limiter as implimented accomplished was to piss off the customer base.

I'm a rook and I'm pissed at ENY.

We are down to a few bases, beat up by bish-nits and unable to get a full range of planes or GVs because bish have fewer numbers.

How can you fight your way out of a hole when you are penalized for numbers?

ENY does not address the prime balance problem of 2 countries combining to beat up on the country with fewer bases. The number of players in each country is a secondary issue.

Shoot about half our squad left AH because of the ENY limiter. Were now in WW2OL

Organize ... simple as that. If you have numbers, and are forced to fly the higher ENY planes, then take a look at the P-47 variants ... very good replacements for the P-51 ... and hardly ever affected by ENY.

A squadron of P-47s are as every bit as dangerous as a squadron of P-51s ... and some would argue that they are more dangerous.

Those that stomped their feet and walked out ... oh well ... those are the types that would have found some other excuse to walk somewhere along the line anyways. Is anything different since their departure ... has gameply suffered because of it ... is the MA a different place since they left ... I don't think so ... probably better off.

73 ... I didn't insinuate that the JBs left because of ENY ... don't know why you felt the need to explain yourself.

<> sir, not because of you...

only brought it up because it as not been "pubically" discussed, and this thread might have brought it to conversation.

Killjoy,
The ENY restrictions are not there to prevent a team from losing, nor assist a team in winning.

Personally, I don't fly much anymore, but when I do I see a vast improvement in the playability of the MA.

I wanted to know why JB's left. Rooks who know better know we are worse without you guys.

That's why I'm taking a break now after +6 years of AH. Cancelled my account last month. Probably come back when TOD is released or sooner if ENY is taken out.
