Currently:

Bish 106 Players
Knights 72 Players
Rooks 110 Players

and the eny has barely started to kick in with the rooks having a 3.2 ENY which is really worthless untill it becomes 5 or higher.  Maybe instead of starting ENY at 0.1 you can start it at 5.0 for the same ratio that causes a 0.1 ENY

Rich, wasn't all that long ago it seemed Bish were always outnumbered like you say.  It was soooo common, in fact, that I am still :O  shocked :O  when I go into the MA and bish have numbers.

AND -- seemed like every reset was won by Knights.

So, over time, it all evens out.  I wouldn't get too worked up over it.

Actually, by switching, you even out the numbers so the low ENY planes are available.....you know, the "better' planes?

I dont really have a country loyalty as much as a squad loyalty. My squad choosed to stick to one country for a number of reasons. I stay with them despite numbers.

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

   LOL, I already said i have to strugle to keep a ranking in the top 15%, I know i suck, what's your point!!!

   My point is to keep the sides even when you have a 3 sided battle going on, because when one side gets outnumbered, even by as little a 20-30 percent it is more like 35-50% because it is human nature for the two stronger sides to prey on the side with the weaker numbers.  HiTech really needs to rethink his approach or I am sure he will be loosing more players from the Knights besides me.  I would much prefer to have a two sided main arena, at least then when you are outnumbered by 20-30% it is only 20-30% percent, not 20-30% times 1.5

  The way the game works now with the 3 sides is once one of the sides gets weaker in numbers the problem just snowballs because of the reasons above, and players start to defect from the weaker side because they get tired of being outmanned 2-3 on one in every dogfight.  Also ENY only kicks in for the ratio's of planes in the air, many times these 20-40% per side are in GV's and the short manned side does not even get the benefit from ENY but still must fend off Ostie/M3 attacks on it's towns!!!

The point is that the 'better' (meaning faster) planes are not the ones killing you, and therefore the ENY would not help you.

  The point is i don't care if i get killed, I care if my team captures bases and wins the war!

 The point is HiTech has the power to keep the sides more even by using the ENY more aggresively!!!

 The point is if ENY was used more aggressively the sides would be more equal in number of players, and if the sides did not balance out then at least the side with the lower numbers would have a better chance of compeating in the war because of the weaker plane set of the higher numbered sides.

  The point is switch over to the Knights for a week and see how fun this game is anymore, it really sucks now, and yes if the Knights were the team with the constantly stronger numbers I would want and expect the creator of the game to use the powers he has to make the teams more fair!!!!!   A stronger and more aggressive ENY would do this, because one of two things would happen

1.  The teams would balance out over a short period of time because players from the higher numbered sides would want to fly the ubber non-perked planes.

        or,

2.  The team with the weaker numbers would have more of a chance because the severe ENY would cripple the other two teams because they would be restricted from using the ubber non=perked planes.

       but,

  I think result 1 above will win out because people will want to fly all the rides available!!!!!!

       or,

3.  Make the main areana two sides only!!!!!

Have you seen any of my squadies? Mittens just turned 24, blonde, 5'5'' 115lbs w/dbl C's. Surely hitting that wouldnt be gay.

Using your rank to justify you're thread and validate your worth here, is deffinatly gay.

what goes around comes around.  i have flown for nits before, because they were outnumbered, and had a blast. i got shot down more times last night than i care to think about.  i have noticed one thing about knights, is that they seem to like to fight almost exclusively over their own base....which really doesn't help their cause much.  some guys actually advocate it over there.  "fight over the base, help each other out." bad idea.  just my observation, prolly chess piece wide though.

probably hardest for score potatos and hoarders to live with though.

   When you are severely outnumbered the only recourse you have is to pork troops and defend bases, And you are correct, it makes for terribly boring game play!!!!
