Might want to take a new look at ENY

Heh.  Come over to Knights just for a week.  If you think you guys have trouble capturing a base, try seeing our cluster ****'s.  We do have some squads that are VERY good at taking bases.  Their missions are a pleasure to be a part of.  Planes are chosen according to what they can accomplish, and assignments handed out according to the strengths of the planes.  Bases go down quick, come back up green.  

That isnt the majority.

I've said this before, I'll say it again.  If you did a cross section of each country, you'd find them all to be nearly identical in composition.  People make the same screwups, fight about the same issues, have the same problems, gripe about the same things from the other countries.  Except for what chess piece floats around your bases, you'd never know you switched sides.

I can't explain that, if I'm in a turner I'll engage anything that'll let me and get as close to as a knife fight as they'll allow. I think most pilots worth a crap would. If someone is acting like that, you're probably not missing out on anything, they likely can't fight anyways.

If you think Rooks are motivated by base camptures you're cwazy. The only thing Rooks really care about collectively is furballing. We'll capture a base only once all the furballing and vulching has dried up. To get a Rooks fighter pilot to carry an egg to a base requires a large blunt object or a colt .45 at his head. Conversely, I see almost every Bish fighter, even Lgay7s, Niki's and SPits coming heavy to Rook bases.

It's easy to say "I'd deal with being outnumbered", but the fact that you won't leave the numerically superior side says it all.

^-----
Thats my point, I HAVE been on both sides, been in every country for months at a time,  Im not glued to any one country.    Seen all of the countries out numbered at some point,  before the eny was ever thought of and I did not switch then.  bish, rook or knight stayed where i was #'s or not !  

Flew against what ever plane they came at us with, really never thought about it,  just upped what plane I wanted and flew, and had fun.  

No one can really do nothing when there country is down to a few 5 ,6 ,7 ,8  bases,  even now with the eny.  When a country is on a roll they hard to stop sometimes,   if the base is covered, its covered whether its a p40 or la7 or low eny planes ,  chances are your dead on the runway.    

ahhh what ever, it is what it is!  and frankly I dont care.   one wants it,  the other dont.    what is gunna make everyone happy?  i dont know, neither do you.   We both just know what affects our gamming experience!    

Wait!!! I got it!!!    How about this as a fix.

  A  auto switch,  you guys that dont mind jumping to other countries to save the game play,  sign up yourself and/or your squad and when the numbers are tilted to far to one side it zapps you to the country that needs you.      :)        then no need for the eny.  lmao!!      

dont get all fired up now it only a discussion , :p

That was a pretty funny thread I must admit, even if I was the subject. Hehe :lol

So tactic... do you enjoy fighting other people in the MA or no?

I'll assume you do, which makes it kind of a dumb question I'll admit.  

If you do... why wouldn't you be in favor of some kind of levelling mechanism, given the fact that due to human nature eventually (if allowed to) the teams would become so lopsided that the people on the "big" team would see a human opponent about once a day?  

It is human nature to take the easiest path available... which is why the numbers are usually lopsided one way or another.  That is the single easiest variable to "swing" in your favor, with the least amount of effort.  

Without some kind of levelling mechanism, you get 95% of the people on one team, with the masochists on the other two.
