ENY disable plane feature wreaking havoc on EW arena

[Iron_Cross]

Stick with it.  The EWA, ENY issue will get resolved.  Hitech has already lowered the side swiching limit down to 1 hour.  Give Hitech a chance to spread out the ENY of the existing planes in the EWA, but he has to look at the numbers and do some careful considering before he tweaks ENY in the EWA.

As for now if you want to fly a fighter when ENY is wacked, try the D3A.  I know it is not a fighter but it has the maouverability of one and has the same guns as a A6M2 when the cannons are dry.  I have gotten kills in it, and a lot of assists.  Think of it like the Il-2, when they pork the FHs, before the switch.

Some new planes for the EWA will help.  I've considerd the Pz-11, C-200, F3F, F2A1, Gladiator, P-36/Hawk 75, and A5M, would probably have ENY above 30.

I see how it is.. I am gone for a year or two and you guys start taking my name in vain!

A plague upon you all!!!


Muahahahhahahaha!!

The following fighters don't get turned off by ENY in EW.

C.202
Bf 110C-4
Spitfire I
P-40B
Hurricane I

There's various reports to the contrary here.  If this is different from what you are experiencing, what is the minimum ENY value that is stated in the message that you get when you try to fly a plane that has been disabled?

I haven't been in the EWA for about 1 week + just because catching up on work. Is this a new change (or in the last week + change?)

As long as those planes don't get turned off by ENY I am more than happy now.

Last time it happened for me was an ENY of 30.

That was changed early last week.

[ghostdancer]

I am very, very, very happy to hear that!

Why not put an absolute cap on the cap. Limit how high the eny limit will go so that there is no way to ground everything.

I think you need to give a little bit more thought into the GV eny too.

I don't care to switch sides to be able to fly a plane. If a country ever loses the ability to up fighters it should only be because the enemy has dropped all the hangers. Not because evry stinking plane is in the penalty box.

ENY is nothing more than a load balancer.

Load balancers move piles of sand.

A pilot is a grain of sand.

Finally got bit by this tonight. Flying on the high numbers side against considerably higher local numbers of the lower side. ENY was 24. Looked at the 3 to 1 odds the enema enjoyed; zoomed map out. Find even higher numbers of my countrymen mobbing a base with 0 defense. Get a few val and 110 sorties in, snork a beer, move to another arena with even greater numerical disparity, fly for the underdog there. Have more fun, shoot more beer out my nose, call it a night and log off.

Wait, what's the issue?

THIS is classic.

Don't like the ENY? Balance the load, encourage others to do so.

This one isnt hard at all, people.

make arenas 2 sides   rename both new sides then. The side balancing becomes fact not fiction.   some are right 1 team may have 30 to 2 others 15 but if that 30 is fighting both teams  its unfair to hurt 1 dside  that is fighting 30 guys to its 30  with old plane set. most will use this to thier advantage fly planes other side can't catch or compete with.  Change game to 2 sides   rename  the 2 sides so no whining i' was always a nit bish or rook. then arena's could be kept fair.






  just like other night i log into arena decided to go nit stop bish from taking undefended bases as soon as i kill gvs at 3 bases they leave go hit rook bases with no one on t defend. 2 sided arena none of this possible.

[storch]

the problem that would arise from a two sided arena would be that the point monguls would happily all join team "A" and pork team "B" into oblivion.  team "C" exists to ensure that there is a modicum of competition within the arena.  IMHO two sides would never work.

[Flayed1]

When the ENY kicks in I just look at it as more of a challenge than as something that would make me change sides. The only time it's been a bit of a problem was yesterday when bish and rooks had 20 or 30 people on in th MWA and Nits had like 8 or 9 and when ever they got to 10 the ENY would shoot from 0 to 29. then 1 Nit would go and it would drop back to 0 again.. lol

  And even if I found the ENY to be a problem I still view this as a war game first and formost so I really wouldn't want to change sides and help the (at the time NME) to win against the guys I was just fighting for...

  Even belonging to the squad I belong to I've thought about swaping to another country but if I did I would like to be able to stay on one side long enough to win the war and that still wouldn't fix the side imbalance problem that we have here. Because the #'s jump up and down so much that it is not practical to stay with a side for long to help even out the sides....    The only people that jumping to even out sides works for are those that are in the arena just for a quick furball and thats all fine but just the quick furball though fun, is not enough for me and others that want to play the war game with the fights mixed in.  
    So for me and those like me it's just as good to sit on one side and see if things even up.
