Don't get me wrong, I like the concept of fair play

But it sucks when you end up cutting your night short because all of the carrier planes are suddenly ENY'ed out, simply because you are getting close to a reset and your opponents log off.  

There has to be a better way to accomplish whatever it is that ENY is supposed to be accomplishing.



(And no, when I signed in numbers were nearly even - and while quitting for the night before I otherwise would leaves a bitter taste in my mouth - it's better than the thought of changing to the other side and fighting against the guys I've been fighting beside for the last 3 hours.)

Although when I first get back into game again, I'll be just as horrible as i was before my accounted went kuput. I like being squad free and going to other sides and help them out if they outnumbered. As for the ENY, yeah it can be little blah at times but sometimes it is challenging to go against a better pilot in a better plane, even though I lose 9 out of 10 times :rolleyes:

F4u-1, la5fn, Yak9U Eny has to be REAL high to effect any of these.

And in their own way, each is a sweet killing machine.

whats fair about me not having a choice of planes?  the other country with less numbers gets to choose any plane he wants to fly.  get rid of this fair play.  we dont need it (eny).  i pay my $15 just like everyone else.  i want to be able to choose what plane i think is the best for a certain task.  please remove these restrictions on fun.  

my 2 cents

The part that amazes me is that a country can be on the verge of winning the war with nothing but carriers !!!

If YOU restrict yourself to flying only certain planes, YOU restrict you own fun !

I couldn't up one on Saturday night for about 20-30 minutes with eny sitting between 25-28.  Thank God for the A8 or I would have been lost! :confused:   Didn't matter, after a bit all was good and the bish got the reset... was fun overall.

Oh, the imballance was about 110 bish, 50 or so nits and 50 or so rooks.  Roughly.... :aok

What bugs me is when countries 1 and 2 can be at, say, 130 and 110, respectively, while country 3 has 70, and ONLY country 1 gets slammed by ENY because they're the high number of players.

While I understand the concept, I think the execution still needs work. I think a more dynamic setup than there already is is necessary, where ENY restrictions are based more on the local theater.

Or alternately, one I've heard suggested, is that ENY doesn't eliminate flyable planes, but rather drastically increases the perk price of ones that are already perked, and makes planes that otherwise would be blocked out INTO perked rides (sufficiently perked so that people actually feel it).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

if that was a response to my statement fugitive.....

the eny does the restrictions,  not me.  the eny restricts my choice, not me.  like i said.  i want to be able to up what i think is best to get it done.  wether it be an la7 for quick defence, a pony for hi alt fighting or a spit.  whatever.  let me decide.  not some fair play fomula.

You may not want to hear this, but you can up any plane any time. All you have to do is switch sides, or arenas. I know some of you folks are very "phobic" about change, but the option is there.  YOU are the only one limiting YOU.

1. up any plane at any time?  not in mw or ew which i fly in all the time.  only reason is because frame rates seem better than in ma.  my choice.

2. change countrys?  i tour countrys all the time.  great way to meet and fly with the folks you fight against.  great fun.

3.  phobic?  not a phobia to disagree with a restriction that says i can't up this plane because there are not enough players on the other side.  there are winners and losers.  somebody has to lose.  someone has to win.

I believe ENY hit countries with >33% players. Say, if numbers are 50/100/150 only 3rd country will have ENY, but if numbers are 50/120/130 ENY will hit both 2nd and 3rd countries.
