That is quite a significant mischaracterization by you, for at 29, there really isn't much that one can either fly or drive.

That's not true:



Many players do just dismiss ENY 30 planes. And while some are indeed no easy rides, there are a few hidden gems.
Particularly the 109F-4 and G-2 can take on ANY fighter in the game. Did you know the F-4 outturns the Spit 16? ;)

Also keep in mind ENY 29 means a significant numerical advantage. Should be possible to overhwelm a outnumbered enemy with a mix of HOing A8's and BnZ 109-G2's...

Should you happen to find youself fighting the third country: If it has numbers similar to your side, it will have a similar ENY.

Let's face it: ENY 29 is quite rare. (Yes it is, I'm playing almost 24/7 for 4 years now ;) )
And ENY HAS to hurt when numebr sare that lopsided.... there wouldn't be any point in ENY not hurting anyone at all.

And I have to admit I am always laughing when I hear the "BS ENY! CANT FLY!"  screams, and I check the numbers just to find ENY being at 11 only  :rofl

I'd say most of those just think they can't fly anything else ;)

And it would be good to hear what players are looking for by removing ENY.  What would happen then?  Steam roll onto reset with little fun gameplay in the process.  Steam rolled country would log off, and steam roller country would find nothing to shoot at without 2 more friendlies trying to "help"; minor but significant point IMO is that you'd have terrible odds of learning the finer and more enjoyable points of air combat - ACM/gunnery/SA skills, teamwork, etc.

I often quit playing when ENY reaches 15, can't fly my f4U. Well unless I am in base capturing mode.

But how much more fun would NOE raids be if you had to be under 15 feet?  :lol  Better hope there aren't any trees.

Yes i have heard all of the arguments throughout the several years i have been playing, and the just switch sides argument posted by hitec and numerous individuals has one major flaw! when you log back on to your country some one will eventually say....."didn't i just shoot you down?!" or visa verse.
 This wouldn't be a problem except for the few people who find it funny to spy and ruin that portion of the game. so good luck with the eny incentive

Why not switch sides?

So it's wrong to switch to even the sides and get the rides you want, because a handful of other people spy?  Two wrongs make a right?

This is just a case of people wanting to eat their cake and have it too.

1. If your country has #s and you refuse to change countries, learn to fly high ENY planes.

2. If your country has #s and you insist on flying low ENY planes, switch countries.

You can't have everything all the time. ENY is AWESOME!  :aok
