Okay...Maybe this has been previously discussed, but there is an obvious major flaw with ENY....It starts at .01!....The lowest eny airplane we have in the game is 5.0!  Right now the Bish have 64 more players then the rooks, with a 3.4 eny limiter...Yea thats fine and dandy, the eny is kicked in, but its not doing the job it was intended by HTC what so ever!  HTC...Please make ENY start at 5.0 for the next patch...Right now the bish should be at 8.4, limiting LA7's, ponys, spit 16's (i think) ect....

Please fix this

I'm a Bish and I totally agree.

All it needs is a

if eny >0 and eny <5 then eny=5

Or whatever the equivalent is the language you use.
0.1 to 4.9 are pointless.

Additionally why doesnt ENY use whole numbers?  There are no 10.25 - 20.70 - 30.92 ENY's, so shouldnt the system always increase in increments of 1????

I really think this is a valid arguement, and i'd really like to hear a reply from HTC or Skuzzy when he reads this....  This is a major flaw to the system, and is limiting eny from its intended purpose....

Thats easy, the calculation produces decimal places, they are just not rounded up or down.

It serves no purpose though...Anytime we get to .50 or < then it should be rounded up to the whole #

isn't it decided by number of players? i think that is why the decimals come in.  for instance country a has 20 more players than country b  if 20 where to equal 1 eny  if A only had 15 players more than B then eny would be .75  right? if it were to equal whole numbers A would have no eny if ony had 19 players more.  i understand the complaint and agree whole heartedly but you also hit the catch 22 where if it takes 50 more players to equal 5 eny and you only have 49 or less you are still outnumbered but eny doesn't kick in

Actually apart from the 0.1 to 4.99 foible, ENY works quite well.

jhookt - from what I recall it's a lot more complicated than that.

Okay well atleast we agree that ENY should kick in at 5.0 lol...  But I still think that It should increase in increments of 1, and once past .50 round up

Fractions of points add up when number of kills per sortie are landed so I would imagine HT doesn't want to scru anyone out of their points.

I'm definitely not the one to be asking as I barely understand it myself, but I'm thinking, if eny is at a fraction lets say of .25  then that would be multiplied by the eny of the plane you shoot down taking into account the eny of the plane ur flying.  Simply put the fractions add up to whole points.  Better yet, wait for skuzzy's answer.  :D

Not everyone,  I think it should start out at 4.5 and use current setup with that change. It would give a small "buffer" to the team who had more people, so it wouldn't kick in as soon as a team was outnumbered. I'm a knight so I know a little somethin about bein outnumbered.

they could just floor or ceiling the number to get rid of the fractions of points that dont mean anything.  but im sure this isnt a profound solution :P
