This thread is reaching a biblical proportion....EGADS.  Throwing my two cents into the fold....

ENY....it's here it's not goin anywhere.  I actually like ENY...it has forced me into trying a coupla rides that I now choose over the uber planes...My yak9t has grown particularly fond of eating Doras and Spittys, with a specific taste for lalas.

Changing countries...  
As some folks saw the other night... some squads have people on every country,  on a given night, and are using those "spies" to set up CVs to kill them for points, ruining a counterattack in progress. I think a 24 hour rule could be good, and also, a  squad should be "locked" into a particular country... that only makes sense. Certain Squads are coercing all the action to their favor, even flying along on strikes, calling out altitudes for their squaddies intercepting it.  

Perk the m4.... it kills the tiger perk.  perk it less than the tiger, but perk it nonetheless.  And while we're at it.... A King Tiger....  yeah....those of us that GV would salivate for that. And those that don't, whatever.  

Klink... my two cents.

The more whines about ENY, the better it is working:aok

[Oleg]

Every ENY whinner must be forced to play for country with least number of players for year or two.

One thing I still haven't figured out about ENY.. Is Perked planes and the tiger.  If my team is getting hit with 20 ENY why is it I can't up a perked plane or the tiger?

Seems to me if I'm willing to risk losing the points, I should be able to fly it. I hardly ever fly perked planes but I can't see why they should be unavailable via the ENY system when you have to pay for the planes in a sense.

Many players switch to the low side for the sole purpose of earning more perks.

Personally, to add some realism to the game, the losing side should be the one with ENY.  If one side or another has lost many of their bases, had their strats nailed, are losing players like flies, it would stand to reason that they should be the ones who have difficulty in uppin the prime aircraft.  for example, in WWII, the germans had ENY of sorts due to the constant bombing by the Allies.

The firefly was tough, but so tough as to take multiple hits from a Tiger and live, while constantly killin tigers in 1 shot.  M4 needs rework and to be perked.

The Sherman series of tanks were piles of junk.   At least, that's what the WWII Vet's have told me.

I would like to see the server disco anyone that is inactive for 30 minutes.
Switching countries shouldn't be allowed by anyone in a squad.
Changing countries should lock you into that country for the remainder of the month or 96 hours minimum.
ENY needs to go until it can be re-evaluated.
Needs to be only 1 perk plane/vehicle in any catagory. Fighter, bomber and ground vehicles.
Minimum rank of 500 to command a CV task force.
Uncapturable bases should done away with.

ENY Kicks in............because say...we(knights) have 20 people on, and the rooks(in this scenario)have 14.  now the rooks decide they want A20. suppose that of those 14, 8 are a squad, while knights are a few different squads of only a couple members each.  so now, we have 8 rooks in GOOD equipment attacking A20, with say....only 3 to 5 knights mustered to defend...in CRAPPY equipment. so now at A20, we're outnumbered, AND outclassed in equipment. we call for help, but no one else comes. now....how's that keeping things fair?

Who's fault is that then ? ... obviously the majority of your countrymen could care less to defend and that is not something HTC can control.

5 vs 8 is what I would consider to be a good fight ... regardless of what plane I would have to fly. As mentioned above ... jump in a P-40E ... you'll be surprised at how good that plane is.

First off I have been flying here for years, so I'm sure I have outgrown the "noob" moniker.

HTC is very well know for fixing problems in the game. In there test they may not have notice a color problem.... I believe it was a lighting issue, not a color issue, but they didn't jump on it just because a bunch of people complained on the boards. They did it because they saw a problem and fixed it, much like they do on every other problem that crops up.

Also it was mentioned how the majority is labeled "whiners" by the minority. LOL!! Get your facts strait. Seeing as about 25% of the people who fly AH .... at the most.... visit these boards, even if HALF the people who post here are whining, it still is only 12% of the people flying, hardly a "majority". Also I would venture to say that a quater of the people who post here don't even fly any more, they just love to post.

So its time to grow up, stop throwing your temper tantrums. Sure the ENY settings might need tweaking, sure we might need new maps, but "suggest" an alternative. Make a thoughtful suggestion to help with the problem. Don't jump up and down crying and complaining, Mommy isn't going to fix this one for you.

Lets open this up and lets keep it civil.

My 2 cents, I think uncapturable bases and ENY is helping to squash some of the fun of the game and aid in keepin stale maps around too long.

Others thoughts?

nothing to disagree with in that staement except rethink arena caps.

[Casper1]

I think ENY should be harsher, BUT it should have a max value.

As a Knight player - we are usually outnumbered by big numbers of rooks and bish and we get steamrolled fairly often.  If I look at a country's ENY, its usually below 8 or 9, meaning the high-numbered country is losing perked planes, spixteens, la7s, P-47Ns and P-51Ds.  That's not severe enough with the numbers I have seen lately (i.e. 90 Knits, 140 bish, 130 rooks).  

But I also think there should be a limit to the max ENY that can be imposed, say 19 or maybe 24.  Something that still allows a good number of capable planes, versus  "wtf I can only fly Hurri 1s, Stukas and Bettys?!?!?!"

Uncapturable fields = GOOD IDEA.  
Dumb ppl who try to take them ayway = FUNNY.

Learn what? I've been here for years. Don't judge me by my post count.
Like I said... this is my opinion. Don't like it? Then read on past bro.
