ENY is CARP

As I said perhaps Rook/Bish should just hit Knits exclusively for a week.
Knits ENY'ed, Rooks + Bish = more than Knits, they'd soon start whining.
Just spend 1 week trying to reset Knits EXCLUSIVELY.

Added this while you replied:

Just as MI says, it's still easier to vulch with the horde in a P40b than fight the vulching hordes in a Spit or Niki. The fair weather flyers will always abound I guess. I prefer the insanely loyal who just stay put, fair weather or foul, to the fair weather candy tulips that follow the horde around.

Another plus to flying with the anti-horde: Stupid amounts of perks, and ridiculously cheap perk rides.

I sure didn't see any Knights or Knight squadrons move to an under-manned team to improve arena gameplay balance.

When you have 20, 000 fighter perks, that means exactly NOTHING though. =( Like the ENY limiter the perk factor really only affects the noob, the person who can only fly low ENY rated planes with any proficiency, and the person who gets very few kills per unit time. All of those people are 'perk poor'. Anyone else likely has a huge resevoir of perks from years of playing.

I doubt if you will see the Bish and the Rooks co-operating to the extent mentioned in the above posts.

This would take the kind of teamwork and co-operation that you don't seem to be able to get on one side, let alone on two sides.

If you get a pack of Knits who outnumber thier opponents conrnered. Even if you have superior rides, the substantially larger force will probably beat the attack back.  Stalin was famous for his quote that "quantity has a quality of it's own"

I believe it was Saturday night when rooks had 130 on, bish had about 110 and knights had almost 200.  The knights ENY was an average of about 31.  Those of us on rooks had the perk planes really cheap and the bish must of had it cheaper.

If you want to be able to fly the planes you want, it is simple as CHANGE COUNTRIES.  The numbers that knights have these days reminds me of being knight on a rook night where sometimes rooks had 300 people which was why the ENY limiter was put in.  It is supposed to encourage people to even the numbers in order for them to fly the plane they want.  As long as the ENY limiter is high against 1 country the other countries will have cheap perk planes in order to defend their country.  

That Saturday our perk planes were cheap and the knights were at our 163 base.  Those of 475th that were still on took tempests all night to defend our base because they were so cheap, and all the other rooks defending the base were also in perk planes.  Its just allowing us to defend our base with the best planes against hordes at the cheapest prices.

Gotta admit I like the ENY thing, the only thing worse than being horded is being horded by Spits, NIKs, P51Ds, and LA7s.

As someone mentioned, learn to fly something a tad more challenging. There are plenty of excellent aircraft in the mid range - albeit without the F16 Speed and 20MM firehose features you are used to, but still good aircraft that will hone skills.

The other day, I latched on to a P40s tail, when I finally discovered it was a P40b I broke off and let him go. Anyone willing to fly anything in the "over 45" ENY department in the MA deserves a break every once in a while.

Oh... someone in a Spit 9 flamed him a few seconds later though.

Oh wait, it is because you want your cake and to eat it too. You want to have the numbers and yet have unlimited access to La-7s, P-51Ds and P-47Ns.

As to limiting yourself to P-40s, that is your problem.  The are many aircraft that are vastly superior to the P-40 that you choose to ignore.  Look at Widwing's list, there are very good fighters on that list.  The La-5FN is not, frankly, that much worse than the La-7.  The Mosquito has all the firepower you could ever want.  The C.205 is a great all round fighter.  The Bf109G-2 climbs like a bat out of hell.  Learn!  Grow!  Try!

Truth!

I'm sure you would get more perks if you actually flew with the outnumbered side.  Flying on the Rookie side hardly counts as being one of the anti-hord...just sayin'.

Myself, hub, Levi and a couple others have flown Bish a bit the last couple days.  Maybe you didn't see us because we were 20k lower than you.

[hubsonfire]

Akak's mad that I pwnd him in my La-7.

Actually, you just got lucky to find me as a Rook. I was bish last night, and again early today. However, with bishops numbers higher than I've seen in weeks, I'm rook again.

Anyone who doubts that I fly bish, or wishes to start a pursefight because they're starting to take themselves too seriously, feel free to check my stats. I'd post them, but I can't get them to display.

Warmest retards,

Whats the deal with the ENY lately?  For the past 2 nights it seems that all that is available for the knights are hot air balloons and big wheels.. I understand if we are winning and all we have left to take are a small handfull of bases.  We had about 3 bases more than the other 2 countries and there was an ENY of 36.  I dont think that it should matter if we have more players online.  Will there ever be a happy medium to this madness?  I suggest that there be bigger maps so we are not fighting in a closet.  With a bigger map you can drop this whole ENY abortion clinic.  Or we can just be a bunch of carpet baggers and never call a country home.  Geeze!  

Funniest thing about all of the Bish and Knight WHINES, are they ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.   God grow some cajones Bish and Knights, you reap what you sew.

I think that the horse that we are beating here is quite dead.  And no, we are not the cause of this problem.... i remember when the ENY started, the rooks were the mass of the MA because of all the new folks who never left the nest and went bish or knight.  Ive read all replies and im going to go to the weaker of the 3.  I had the tunnel vision of staying with my country, squad, and my VR friends.. I was rook several years ago and now ill go for bish.  i do find it funny how when i cried about the eny, you all started the typical verbal assaults.. talking about vulching in the LA7... ha ha ha.. i do neither.... vulch or fly LA 7 (unless defending against buffs that are over head, which is very rare).  LA7... good speed.. nice fire power.. but it consumes gas like i consume beer, not all that good in my opinion (the gas consumption not my beer, ha ha ).  ok, the horse is now pulp..

It WAS the BISH AND KNIGHTS whines in this VERY SECTION of the BBS that started the ENY PERK LIMITER.  I am the CO of the Cactus Air Force and we are a Rook Squadron.  This squad will be Rook for a long time.  I flew Bishop in AH2 Beta, and have gone Bish in the past for a spot evening.  

The Rooks have "embraced" your precious ENY PERK LIMITER and have still reset you whiners, why?  Rookland has the best sticks that play the game.  

" I think that the horse that we are beating here is quite dead. "

So then why post this thread to begin with?

ENY is good, but a little too much, sometimes.  

The point of providing the limit is to balance the 'horde' - a good idea IMHO, and I fly Knight all the time.  

But there is a point (see nights when ENY Limit is above 35 or 40), when it gets out of hand.  That's just silly, plain and simple.

The point of this thread was ENY, not Rook/Bish/Knight hammering, right?
