Tried to up a P51B, ENY says no---cool. Tried to up a Spit VIII ENY says no---cool. Tried to up a Mossie- ENY said no. All in that rapid sequence, like ENY followed me. Can I get a total crock of sh**--- ENY--yes and you will like it (pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain!) The price is right Bob!

ENY has never bothered me. I'll continue to roll Spit 1's, Ki-61's and other "POS planes" in the LWA's.

Mash-this is the first time I've ever disagreed with you on the boards-aside from small stuff. Normally I have no prob with it, and I will fly a disadvantaged plane no prob. I don't want to get into numbers, but it was within 10 of each other and just kept rolling up-literally by the second. Appreciate the early rides, but essentially perking a Mossie, c'mon!

Just an option but if you had changed sides to the lower populated country you could have upped anything you wanted. There must have been a rather large disparity in numbers to reach that level eny.

Just noticed you say the numbers were within 10 of each other, was it in MW?

DaPup to answer your question- I meant that the ENY jumped by 10 every time I tried it. Literally 1 plane to the next. I went p51B, Spit8 then Mossie-the ENY jumped with it in the course of 2 minutes. Hence my frustration. As to your suggestion about countries, I understand and appreciate the suggestion, but I fly Rooks and am a member of the 4th Fighter Group, Eagles-4th but 1st. That won't change.

Thanks and see you up!

Amen. 109F or E

Even the 109A8..... ****ing monster of plane....31 ENY... no worries.

ENY is good, it forces you fly something more challenging or switch sides.

ENY limitaition is good.

The few times i cant up my ENY 20 rides i just select another. Many good options out there to choose from.

The dumbest thing i ever hear is when people whine that they cant up "competitive planes".... (psst guys.. its not the plane that has to be "competitive"

)

ENY can be a pian in the crotch but i find it makes me fly spit 1's e.t.c and it's a bloody good laugh.

Since flying on the knight side, I dont mind ENY so much since I rarely have to tolerate it. Once it creeps up, I'll go to my trusty 190a8 and go bomber hunting, up a GV or ride some ack guns and blast those high ENY planes that I'm being denied. I still think ENY is BS.

Obviously there are numerous sub-par ways to deal with ENY.

But there is only one real reason not to do anything about it.

Dorks.

Not trying to start a fight but why get all worked up over a country? I can understand the squad, wanting to fly with friends. I just never understood the country thing. It's a game. If ENY is causing you to not have fun, then just switch. Every "country" is the same, I've flown for them all. 1/2 the time I don't know what country I'm on, just that the bad guys are red and the good, green. If your squad(friends) can't understand that you want to have some fun and fly your favorite bird, then maybe they aren't such good squadies.

It was just a post about the ridiculous acceleration of ENY I experienced tonight. As to the country loyalty, it's no knock to any other side- I happen to enjoy the people I've met Rooks-wise. And as it happens, my squad is Rooks, but as I've gotten to know them, I've found a group of gentlemen that I am thoroughly impressed with on both an AH and personal level.

Well ... it was in lock-step with the ridiculous acceleration of a population advantage that your country had.

Rollins · « **Reply #13 on:** May 29, 2007, 07:43:49 AM »

Understood. Reference my above post as an observation and not an all out criticism. Just an interesting part of AH that I noted because it was new to me in this form and speed.

I find ENY restrictions annoying, at best. That said, it has forced me to find other planes to fly that I've ended up enjoying- the LA5 being my latest toy that usually gets me through most ENY restrictions.

The rapid escalation of ENY values when you're trying to up is something I commented on here before. I find that EXTREMELY annoying, having to spend a few minutes finding a plane you can fly, being denied one, choosing another and being denied that one and on and on.

My suggestion, which few seemed to think was a good idea, was to have the current ENY restriction posted somewhere in the hangar so you'd know right off the bat where you stood as far as plane restrictions.

Either that, or have ENY useable planes listed in standard gray text and other planes that are ENY restricted in some other color. Save the red text for planes that aren't allowed due to fiter hangars being down or such.

I thought that might make choosing a plane a bit easier and quicker during ever changing plane restrictions.
