Spawn Delay vs. ENY

[DeeACE]

I don't know about you but when the ENY gets outta control 20+ I'd rather have a spawn delay of a minute or 2 then try and fight spit 16's and ponies with a p40 or a6m2 or any other hanger queen. I understand that they are trying to keep the sides fair, but really ENY of over 20 for more then an hour..... I had to log.

I'd really like to see some sort of alternative to the ENY penalty.

What do you guys think? any suggestions?

P.S. Switching sides is not my thing.

Switch sides or switch arenas. The choices are there, if you refuse to use them then ENY is your penalty for not helping keeping the sides fair and balanced for all.

this seems like a good idea but what if people start saying
"what the...? i cant up for a minute cuz people want to fly on my country? im logging this is bs"

compared to

"what the...? i cant up my favorite plane and i have no idea how to fly anything less than 20eny cuz theyre all bad planes and im too lazy to fly them? this is bs im logging"

???

Switching sides is not something our squad does, and although switching arenas seems a viable solution, trying to get 10 guys from blue to orange can take 20 minutes now that the cap is back on. i don't know about you but we like to stay and fight with our country, otherwise i would just switch sides everytime the war was about to be won lol

If you won't switch sides and don't like any of the very capable aircraft above ENY 20, don't know what to say to you.  I don't think a spawn time limiter would be an effective tool to deal with side imbalance.  You would still have many people in 51Ds and XVIs vs few people in 51Ds and XVIs if the many chose to come in waves.

Very true no matter how you slice it there will be complaints, just thinking that would be more enjoyable if you didn't have to deal with planes that you are beat with regardless of skill.

Now please don't misunderstand, i like to fly planes with higher eny values 38j 109's hell i'll even up ki61's from time to time, and i do ok with them, but when the arena is highly populated and your in a Hanger queen, fighting horde vs horde for bases, and all your seeing is 16s 51s LAs N1Ks the chances that you are gonna rtb your kills is slim.

I would personally rather wait to get a ride that I could be more effective with then be a fish washed up on shore for the gulls.

By no means am i against challenging myself, but i also won't go into a biker bar and call them names to see how long i last either lol.

Why? It's quick, painless, and would allow you to fly the lower ENY rides you want to enjoy. A whole squad should be able to do it easily and then you can continue to fly with each other as well. I don't understand why the one easy solution to your problem you refuse to indulge in.

why can't they just make it that you can only swap sides once every tour?

People will have no problem waiting 2 minutes to fly what they want. Therefor spawn delay will need to be a half hour to an hour long. And if your okay with a half hour to an hour long delays  just wait until the ENY drops. 

[Ghosth]

Why?
Its counter productive. It isn't going to help gameplay.
It won't stop spying, those who really want to will just open a 2nd account.

It sounds to me like you've made your decision then. You think that the penalty is worth it to be able to fly in the side with numbers, no matter the reason you wish to stay there.

I feel that the system in place is a perfectly fair and reasonable side balancing system. Think about it, if you have the low numbers then you can fly your easy mode rides against the 20 ENY and above planes. Personally I almost never get hit with ENY since I rarely fly anything under 20 ENY.

I know that 2 minutes doesn't seem long but when either attacking or defending a base, 2 minutes can change everything. and with the low pop side having no spawn delay i believe this still keeps it in their favor. If i had to wait 2 mins in a 1v1 duel, i would clearly be at a disadvantage.

anyway I would be interested if any of you have any other possible solutions?

I think ENY is a pretty good one.

[BaldEagl]

Your solution isn't even a solution.  How does a 1-2 minute delay help balance sides?

You just want to be able to hoard the enemy with Spit XVI's, N1K's LA-7's and Tempests and delaying you by 1-2 minutes does nothing to help the country you're hoarding.
