Hi guys, I'm new to here and flight sim combat in general.  However I have been online gaming for way too many years.  I read through this thread (yes all of it surprisingly) and besides worrying me with peoples unhappiness for my new game of choice it also mentions one flaw that I've already noticed in the game with my limited experience.  Whenever I am on one of the servers the team differentials seem to be huge.  From my experience with my last game I immediately switch over to help the undermanned team however you must understand something......I suck.  I am brand new to this.  I am an utter and total noob at AHII.  I expect this though although i did prefer being the old pro at my previous game lol.  I will get there and then maybe I can help the weaker team a little but it seems so widespread.  From everything I've read ENY is apparently used to help "persuade" people to switch teams but doesn't seem to work good (severe side loyalty in this game) and allows huge gaps in team size.  I just wanted to know why HTC doesn't enact a 4th team named Lobby or Limbo and when people join a server immediately put them on that team?  Then use normal number balancing when people join a team.  i.e. I jump in MA and I am on the "limbo" team.  I see that there are 14 bish, 13 rook, 13 knit.  I have a choice.  I join rook or knit, or I wait until others joins those teams so that i can join my squadies as a bish.  Perhaps even only have the highest 2 teams have to be even i.e. 12 bish, 12 rook, but only 2 knits since there wasn't enough want for that team.  Like I said I am new but then people have a choice, wait in "limbo" team until their favorite comes up or jump on another team.  Please enlighten me if I am missing a fatal flaw to this I mean no offense by it.

BTW on a side note, hello everyone, it's good to be in a new community and I hope to get owned by many of you for a while until I can manage to turn the tables on you.  Also I am looking for a buddy to show me the ropes if anyone is interested.

Thanks for your time
Kami

To answer your first question/comment, ENY wasn't put in to make people switch sides. It was put in so that the team with the greater numbers, gets a handicap of equipment. As the number imbalance increases, they loose the ability to use the newer/better/uber planes, giving those on the lower number side a better chance with better eqipment to hold off the superior numbers.

The second question was answered by your first question "severe side loyalty in this game". Forcing somebody to switch sides is not a good way to run a company and keep people happy.

Simple solution, DA?
Otherwise take your smart remarks to some other post that doesn't need you either.

I'm in there every night Phawk.  I don't think we could find a witty remark in you if we used an electron microscope,  the witty remark would need to be preceeded by wit.

Heheheh... not taking sides but... good shot. This dig is concise and and a bit clever

[Stang]

Storch, in your location you forgot to put the 2 in front of the 8.  

[storch]

stang.  my location is good.  in other news the smell of wet diapers that was permeating south florida golf courses has finally subsided and we can once again call our most famous the blue monster instead of the peeyellow nursery.

[Stang]

So I take it you haven't been on the golf course there in quite a while?

[storch]

I couldn't stand the stench

[Stang]

Change your depends then.

[storch]

dense lad, the problem seems to have alliviated itself as if by majic once your location changed.  the keys have also seen a sharp increase in coral reproduction.

Give me a date and a time. If you've got the time, I've got the bullets.

[storch]

stop by when you ain't busy milking bases in the EW/MW or running around the LW vultching players followed by your personal flock.

[LePaul]

Pffft, is that the best you can do, Storch?

Are you 11 years old?  Pardon me if I've over guessed your age from the demeanor in which you post.
