ENY is CARP!

WideWing, Well said.

Not to mention that not only are they fun to t\fly but if you do learn how to fly them you will find the things you learn in them helpful and make you even better in your standard EZ Mode plane.

And you will also learn the abilities of these planes which will help you to learn how to defeat these lessor  planes that keep spanking your arse in your EZ mode plane.

Myself personally. I'd rather have to fight 4 P51D's  or La7's then 4 109Fs or FM2's

I would have to say my only 2 complaints about the current eny system is:

1 If I want to pay that huge price for a perk ride when ENY is enabled on my country I would like the option.

2 I would at least like to be able to take up a panzer when the ENY is very high. Last night we got to a point when we could only up t-34's and to tell the truth it just won't kill a tiger. And the enemy air cover was to thick to come over and bomb him. So finally I did the old trick of upping m-16 after m-16 and disabled him.
 
  Planes you can fly to their abilities and have a chance true. But on the ground having to die multiple times with my m-16 versus a tiger was a bit ridiculus. Especially when I would have gladly paid the high perks for me to have a tiger.

Sure, of course you would, heck if I outnumbered both the other countries combined I'd be willing to pay 1,000,000 perks for a 262 if I lost it. Of course the chance of losing it is ZERO with such huge numbers... So, in actuality what you want is your HUGE numbers and free 262s, Temps etc. Nice try!:rolleyes:

It still comes down to this notion of loyalty to a chess piece, which I think is silly, but if it's your deal, more power to ya.

That being said, that loyalty comes with a price, and that's if the numbers are that skewed, your loyalty to the chess piece stings a bit.

Since the planes are the same in all countries and overall the people are the same in all the countries, why not go where the numbers are lowest and have at it.

No one really dies, the planes are free and if you are in the low numbered land, the fights aren't hard to find.

Of course if you are one of those folks who worries about your stats, that gets tough as you are gonna get clobbered a lot wading into the mob, but so be it.  It's still just a game.

Ya thats all I had last night.  I was getting home from a party and was quite drunk. Seeing the Knits numbers, and being unable to fly, I was curious how high their ENY must be. So I went over to see. Was 30 one time I looked.

For the past couple of weeks it seems that the knights are getting more and more numbers.  If the knights keep having numbers like they did Saturday night they wont have many planes to choose from each night.  This ENY limiter is just going to encourage some of you to go to the rooks or bish so you can fly the plane you want.

This sort of post is proof, that the ENY limiter is working EXACTLY the way it is supposed to.

 I am quite satisfied. Though outnumbered and horded, it was still fun rushing through zillion La-5s in 3 perky Ta152s... ROFL.

Your "happy medium" seems suspiciously arranged to equal "does not affect you at all."   I can't imagine why that would be.

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!

A good thing outa all this, You Sure cant be accused of spying,   just tell them your there now to "fly the plane you want". Just start jumping every five hours.  Tell your friends and squad where you are so your not killing anybody you were just flying with 5 minutes ago!  Nothing like being killed by one of your squad mates or people you have flown with all day or week or month just to have them killing you or you killing them now, til eny goes down in what ever country has it.     :eek:

Cv's can be hard to find at times  :)   I always wondered how some seemed to know the location of a cv thats no where near a enme base, and  they did not comb the sea for five sectors to find it.  oh yah!   nice for the floating toolshed killers.     Ever see the text when it says  "huge mission "getting ready" to up outa a10 to hit a25"  <-----  they are NOT mind readers.      key words   "getting ready"   ...  

This game is not worth it for me to stoop that low, but there is those that do.     Helps the demise of a country on the verge of being reset  in the first place, "less suffering if you will"     Anticipate the eny and jump before,  that way, the 5 hours is gone just in time to jump back with some juicy gossip.  

If your wanting people to jump countries because of the ENY and not because there rotating there squad or themselves for a full tour,  Check this out!      There is no loyalty to nothing,  for sure if you want them to jump back and forth,  Dont be suprized , when they jump back to the counrty they came from (loyal to),   that any and all  info that can be used wont be.        This game is that important to some of these people.

Its kinda ironic aint it!  Its there to supposely help a country in trouble, but in the end it helps there demise.    Good luck eny ppl.   enjoy :)

Oh by the way filth  it was 29 before you jumped, you could have stayed where you were at and asked instead. :eek:  Remember your supposed to go the other way.  lmao!      :p  I think were making real progress here!    haha!

I never know unless someone wh.....complains about it.

If we had the kinda numbers Zazen is saying wether its 100 Dwe..Spitfires or 100 109s. Whats the difference? a horde is a horde is a horde


I fly the 109F4 as my main ride also. So ENY has little effect on me.

I think that as a means of controlling numbers, the ENY has not been that successful, as numbers over the last week or so have testified.  I do hear a lot of complaining about it on the Knight text and vox channels, but I see little in the way of BBS response from the Knights.  

All in all, I am sure that being gang banged in your uber LA7 by a bunch of 109F4’s feels little different than being gang banged in your uber LA7 by a bunch of other uber LA7’s.  The MA has turned into a horde on a few, gang-bang or be gang-banged, vulch or be vulched, jungle.

The ENY restrictions haven’t changed that.

True, the horde still exists but it is a lot more fun since the ENY change.  I actually flew a few perky rides last night and had a blast.  Learned the 4-Hog is a beast and the Spit14 aint so bad either.  I think the ENY  limiter is doing the trick, making it a little more balanced....

I gotta disagree with you about no difference in getting ganged by early or late war stuff. If you for instance go into a 5 on 1 (la7 vs 109f's) then the la7 can easily "extend";)  and/or generally take them on as he sees fit. If it was a horde of la7's, then he stands no chance and has no control of the situation. True either way odds are against him, but IMO he stands a much better chance vs 109f's. Add on top of that very cheap perk rides so you can turn that la7 into a temp, spit14 or even a 262. Then a 5vs1 doesn't look so hopeless. I think in that aspect, ENY does help.

I do agree that it really has done nuthin to even out numbers however.

I would like to say that I feel your pain but I would be lying.  I can however say that your whines are music to my ears and a further proof that the ENY system does work.  So you couldn't fly your La7 last night, so what?  Either log off or switch countries.  Your whines on this board will do nothing to change the ENY system and will only bring a smile to our collective faces as we enjoy the sound of your squealing.  This is the price you pay for being a lemming.

Of course, getting 50-80 perks per sortie last night while kicking the crap out of the Knitword hord was fun too.
