No.

Eny restriction needs to stay.

Oh lets just let the country that has twice the number as the other fly their 262s, temps, la7s, spit 16s, and let them have no restrictions so they can just hoard even better than they can having to fly lower ENY aircraft such as the early 109s, 38s, and 47s.  Boohoo you cant fly your easy mode la7s and spit 16s, just change countries and you can.

I never have to worry about ENY very often as I fly my 38. 

If you dont want to change countries as it so easy, deal with it.

You could always learn to fly a harder aircraft.

I personally enjoy switching to fly for the low number country and fight the hoard with my 80 perk 262s.

I never really have much to do with ENY because I prefer the lesser rides anyway. More of a challenge to fly a Yak9U instead of an easy La7, for example.

I fly a Chog when There is no Eny, or F4u-1a when some Eny, or 109 when high Eny, or Switch Arenas when higher then that.

I think the squeakers can stop flying an La7 and read a book for once.

I understand ENY, and its purpose..

what I dont get, is its inconsistency..


perfect example today..

in blue.. Bish had most players..

but actually had FEWER player in flight than the Knights, and not many more than the rooks..

couldent fly anything below 18 ENY for almost an hour..

YET

at the same time, in orange.. bish had more people, and more people in flight.. than anyone...  ENY was 3..  :huh

it woudent be so bad, if it made sense... which sometimes.. it really doesent seem too..

As soon as eny starts going up, so should the amount of troops needed for base grab.

How do you like that idea. :P

How about insted of ENY making aircraft/vehicles outright unavailable.. just add a cost to them...

for example

P51D

its rated at 8 ENY

as long as ENY is 7 or lower.. its free..

if it reaches 8.. it costs 1 perkie..

after that for every point above, costs 1 perkie..  so at 8 it costs 1, at 9 it costs 2.. and so on..

so if ENY is at 20 and you wanna fly an LA7.. gonna cost ya 13 perkies if ya lose it..

the perking wouldent be high enough to really punish any of the new players.. the vast majority of the time they will be able to fly anything they can fly now..  and by the time they DO hit a situation where they have to pay.. they will have earned the small handful of perkies it costs them to fly what was previously free.


I really think its as close to a "best of both worlds" solution as you can get..

there is still a limiting factor, and people can fly anything they want..

ENY works off total country populations, not just in-flight numbers.

Perking doesn't work, at all. It is only a "make ENY effect the noobs, but let me fly what I want" suggestion. It is obvious that it would limit only the new players, allowing anyone else to fly whatever they want, regardless of how imbalanced the numbers are, and that is why it is repeatedly mentioned as a "solution" to ENY restriction.

well I think the orignal idea behind ENY and the limiting was the notion that when someone logs in, and cant fly what they want.. they will switch sides.. and thus.. balance the numbers..

that, obviousley is not happening..

and for good reason, people get used to flying for 1 country, get familiar with names, and people.. 



its especially for squads and nearly impossible for large ones..  the logistics alone are a preventing matter, let alone the fact that if we have 30 members on.. and switch countries.. we will unbalance the area and be back to square 1

not to say there are not people who country jump all the time.. but if your highly involved in a squad, especially one that frequently has alot of members on.. its very very difficult to just country jump on a whim..




so ENY was imposed to balance the teams in the arena, it does not do that..  but it does seem fairly effective at pissing people off..

Yeah...this will make Hitech think twice about how he designed his game  :lol

well

wouldn't be the first time would it?

HTC has chaned the game numerous times due DIRECTLY to the input from players..

there used to be no such thing as ENY, Perk points etc etc..

TA152 used to be perked

C-hog used to be free..

both changed due to player input..
