I flew 4 sorties and the ENY was 15 and no less for an hour or so.
(...)
My last sortie was in a Spit 1 against every LA7 known to man.
Spit I is ENY 40. If you can't fly Spit IX or V due to ENY, your side totally outnumbers the opposition anyway
This is a war Sim right?
Wrong
but for my money I'd like to fly what I pay for.
Nobody will stop you. "Oclub->Change Countries" or simply type ".country X" (1= Bishops, 2= Knights, 3=Rooks)
And if you say now "But I'm loyal to my country". You can't have it all. Your choice: Numbers or fav plane. Like in real life, loyalty comes at a price sometimes.

Level playing Fields are for those who have an issue with getting the butts kicked
Did anybody else notice that complaints about ENY always come from those that have numbers, ENY against them and are
not getting their butt kicked?
Nobody comes here and ever complains about the enemy having ENY...
HTC should create a no excuses arena that we can have fun in and fly what HTC has in the stable, not this watered down version. See how many folks flock to that all out carnage.
We've been there, done that, and it didn't work.
Besides, I don't see any reason why you don't can have fun with ENY. If ENY 15 bothers you that much (which it shouldn't, considering how capable many ENY20-30 planes are): Switch side, help the underdog, feel good and fly your Spit XVI.
please let me reach my potential without boundaries
If you are limiting yourself to a few "uber" planes or to a single side, you are setting your boundaries yourself, not HTC
ENY was 29 earlier. Then went to, what, 32? It was pissing me off. I'm not going to leave my country because a whole bunch of tards thought it would be funny to switch to my country and sit in the towers for hours on end.

you are really thinking dozens of players switch to your country just to sit in tower and raise ENY?
And no, ENY never gets to 32. It stops at 29.
