fitty1 Dee is 5 eny now
Interesting idea. But I think folks will complain about eny no matter what HTC does. I've always thought the best coarse of action for a player to deal with ENY is to learn a high ENY aircraft for just such occasions.
Sorry, didn't have the ENY list memorized. Just tried to pick something from memeory. I agree, best course under high ENY is to grab a high ENY aircraft or switch countries. Since I generally like higher ENY aircraft (190A5, FM2, P38s), doesn't really affect me, but just figured it could be good to have a thought out discussion of if there are alternatives, so thought I'd throw one out.
I see what you are saying, however, you guys are a Rook Squad. The only solution is to switch countries as a squad.
I'm not sure how being a Rook makes any difference, as typically the Rooks are outnumbered in 1 LWMA, and are doing the outnumbering in the other when I get on.
Plus, I don't really care what country I'm on. I like to fly with other people that I know (which is truly, not that many people). I don't remember ever being told we are a "Rook" squad. I just tend to stay Rook even if none of them are around because it's easier if one of them jumps on. If you wanted to invite me over to your side of the fence, I'd be happy to play as bait for you as long as Twin or Fugi aren't on. (I did say "play bait" because that's really the only role I'm good at.
)
So, instead of dismissing my idea because of what country I'm on, or what squad I'm in, is there any thoughts on the actual CONCEPT you do not, or do, agree with, or tweaks to make it better, or just flat out feel current ENY is the best?
A huge advantage in numbers on your team AND you want the best planes available? SURE! WHY NOT! Heck yeah! woo hoo! ummmmmm....
Oh wait...I'm a Knight. I'll change my vote to....wait for it..............NO!
You're idea doesn't promote combat. After the ENY kicks in everybody on the affected team will be sitting in the tower waiting on their super uber rides to become available.
No thanks.
My thought Blooz, was while some people were waiting in the tower for their "super uber ride", the undermanned country could be gaining alt and pushing the fight/flight line back towards the enemy's base, as opposed to have to try and up their aircraft under an umbrella of tons of high ENY aircraft. I.e, the breathing room I mentioned in my OP. That extra time, is time you do not have right now to take off and defend with. Which do you see as more even? You on the runway vs. a BF109G2 circling above, or you at 4-5K vs. a P51 2k+ away from base?
I don't think introducing waiting is a particularly good idea. Fewer, better planes in the air I don't believe improves the situation versus having the zerglings able to up all they want in 'worse' planes, as it is now.
Fair enough response Wiley. I had thought it might assist in giving some room to try and take off to at least get some maneuvering capability, as unless everyone waited for the extra time, the "waves" of enemy aircraft wouldn't be as thick/heavy, hopefully helping the Defense gain some alt/room, but I absolutely admit I could be wrong in that. Would increasing the delay change that or is it just a flawed idea in your opinion?
BTW, just an addition here... I love how some people assume the only reason someone would make a suggestion is to benefeit themselves. Go through my flight record. You'll find that the vast majority of my flights and deaths are in higher ENY aircraft, so I'm not exactly suggesting this just so I can fly uber planes when I'm on a high number to horde.
