I was talking about players changing side just b4 reset, for 20 perks that's cheap in my oppinion

Impossible ... YA CAN"T GET PERKS FOR WINNING THE WAR UNLESS YOU JUMP SIDE 12 HOURS PRIOR TO THE RESET.

They are jumping cause they are spineless jellyfish and only feel safe when travelling in a horde ... that can't take the pain of having a horde beat them down.

i think it works great...was just 100+ nits, 90 bish and less than 50 rooks... i landed 7 kills in 38 G for 111 perks...works great  ;)   horde mongers die all the same, now you just get more perks for kills...to bad i dont use them to often.

Yeah, kinda like scenario end-frame silliness where a successful team turns on itself like a pack of jackals, last man to go PNG wins :)

Due to personal reasons I can't control , I don't get to spend to much time these days flying. While I think the ENY thing has worked for the most part , last night I had a chance to fly when I got home from work. ONLY to find that the plane I like to fly the best wasn't even close to being ENY friendly.

I think it got to 40. Now , I don't mind as I said , but not flying very much and then logging in to find that the only things to fly are things I don't enjoy at all , was a bit frustrating.

Just my 2 cents.

Don't forget another reason for the high ENY was all the people on nits who stayed logged on somewhere to get the perks later but really went to bed. Drives ENY up quite a bit I think, it's quite prevalent to do that.  At one time the roster had 170 nits on, I hopped around the active bases, no way were that many in the air or on the ground.   My guess woul dbe there were about 120 or so players actually active on nit side.

I think most of the people who've played for a bit know you can't get perks by switching just before the reset, but  GOSH DAWG there was a lot of 2 week noobs on nit side last nite.  Never seen so many at one time.

I have met many of them in person. I have had the heartbreak of having some of them die.


I try to help my squadies out as much as I can. The great thing about flying with many of the guys in my squad is that they can handle them selves on their own.

Point being, I try not to let them die if they are in trouble. But I'll laugh my arse off after they're down. And they will do the same for me.

We have yet to hold a memorial service due to a downed BK.

Funny thing about this game. You get as many lives as you wish.

In regards to the ENY formula, isn't it calculated on the number of players currently out on a sortie, as opposed to total population?

what I am saying , people switch never realizing the rule for receiving perks for winning the war.   I dont think even some of the veteran pilots know that you have to be in a country 12 hours before you can gain perks in a win.   Not that Vets switch to get the perks, just think quite a few dont even know.  And probley dont care, because they dont jump country for a win.
When you go to other country your there for 12 hours, before you can go back to where you can from, if you wanted to.

  I seem to gain knowledge, here and there still,  about things i never knew about this game, after playing for years, one thing I learned lately for example.  shft right click saves a step in checking on bases<----   never knew that short cut.

Its not the switching countries thats the issue,  its the Reason and Time at which they decide to do the deed,.... its not "switch" to other country, but "jump" to other country.  

There is a difference ,.. Jumped is  >( they never planed on staying in that country  because they wanted to now be a Knight, Rook, Bish,..  its because they "think" there gunna get those  bulk Perks (25 to be exact).  soon as it posted buy the system you have won the war, and after the 12 hours   are up, there on the way back to what ever country they came from.   95% of the time i bet.

Switched is...  Either you or your squad goes to other country to fly. Period! and the decision is made for reasons other then thinking your on the losing countries side or those bulk perks look so good to ya.     Nothing wrong at all, with switching countries, one person or a whole squad.

What makes me think people are jumping is when there are  75-90-65 numbers players on bish-knits-rook respectivly.  And the 75b's are losing, and 65r's is not slowing down the 90k's offensive roll of bases.  Then all of a sudden the numbers go from 75b's-90k's-65r's and becomes    this     45b's-132k's-50r's   just seems suspect to me.  

If I  see it go like this:   start  # players   75b's-90k's-65r's,  then the numbers change to this 45b's-92k's-50r's after a war win looks likley,  thats cool, but the other, well, just seems,  hummmm  suspect.  

If i remember right ,this being stuck in a country for 12 hours after jumping was not always the case I think you were able to switch back and forth? long ago eh?    I dunno this for sure.  so they started this 12 hour thingy? to stop people from jumping.  

The Eny is fine, (I guess) I dont like it, but i deal with it,   but when it occures because of "Jumpers" it sux.

So why didn't you switch to Rook and fly with us? ;)

Count yourself lucky, but if you stay together long enough, you will lose someone.

Try this url AK Farm Buyer

Hans was a fine gentleman.  I remember when he came all the way from Sweden to visit the AK's in Dallas and Oklihoma.

He was a Brigade Officer and fellow Hall of Honor member.  Note that the AK's do more than just flying SIMs.  A bunch are in World of Warcraft now.  Many flew in AH2, but have now moved to the WOW sim.

Hanz was severely handicapped physically but certainly not mentally. He was a delightful human being. Hanz died because he was suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy that was constantly reducing the strength of his muscles.

I believe that when any AK flys, Hanz is his wingman.

I think your right hub.

It's the players in the air at any given moment that calculates the ENY. If it's not it should be. Who cares if a player is logged on but sound asleep just waiting for the perks?

kj714  it's easy to check the number of players that are currently in the air.
Right click on the map, then click "Country Status" and it will tell you the number of people flying.  No guessing involved.
