General Discussion

Have you ever had a 37mm up your tail.  

It appears we need a "don't ask, don't tell" policy here!

P-38 is sort of a US version of the Mosquito.
Except that it has shorter range, less firepower, can't carry AI radar or a 57mm cannon and no starboard seat for your b****. It is also not made of wood so it costs more and does not come with the "speaker on the ceiling" add-on. But other than that, they are exactly the same and they dominate in general.

edit:
On second thought, P-38s do not have flame dumpers installed, so they are inferior until this upgrade is available to them.

I agree... I could see 10 planes in a furball and I will always go dominate the 38's 

[Ack-Ack]

Do you have the stats on that? I assume if it did, the ENY value for the plane would be the lowest.

ENY is not based on a plane's lethality.


ack-ack

Quiet now BillyD or I'll have to get out the films

BillyD was just getting going in the K4 and I started running into him a lot.  He had at that point a very recognizable first move and I got him a few times in the old 38G as I could anticipate where he'd be and get there first

I'm guessing he's a bit better now, but it would make some nice rebuttle screenshots

Then what is the Planes ENY Value based on?  I am not asking about the ENY when it concerns the number of Men in each country.  I am asking about the ENY point value of each plane and what determines that.  Also, the ENY value of vehicles.  I know the T34/85 is more lethal than the T34/76.  The 85 is more lethal than the 76.

ENY is whacked, it means nothing.

LOL Corky you guys know I hold y'all in the 80th in the highest regard ( except Venom , and aunt Silat ) I've been flying the G14 now alot more....seems to be a better match up to the B38 so if I find a lone B38G get ready to be Ho/Rammed. 

That night was alot of fun...the screenie you gotta find is you, shuffler, and another 80th 38 rising up and just totally unloading on my hapless 109, I laughed for 10 minutes straight

...almost as funny as when I saw you on the other day taking off while I was landing...

"hey Billy bet I'll beat you back to base"

"yup...I beat ya back"


Good times, good times

ENY is not based on a plane's lethality.

Saying what it is NOT based on is half an answer ACK.

I think I've read that it IS based on it's kill to death ratio in the MA. If pilots have a lot of success with it, it gets a low ENY. If anyone has the correct answer for ENY value assignments, please post.  If I'm correct than ENY would be determined by which planes rule.

If I'm wrong, I offer my apologies in advance.

Right or wrong..... I accept your apology

Vinkman, ENY is roughly lethality.  It's not k/d..  It's a pretty good (meaning reliable) ballpark figure made for the perk points and country balancing system.  So lethality isnt perfectly accurate but that's close to it.

The less Bases you capture, the less the ENY is.
