Depends what you mean by inferior  :D

What's ENY?

Hahah, good point Von.  :lol

Any plane piloted by me is inferior.  :neener:

I think I can recall (since our squad only flies German planes) being affected twice by ENY.

But then I chose a 190 A8, and all was good   :aok

109 E is a helluva fun ride, also..

Best thing to do is stay open minded and pick the best plane available for the job in hand. ok so you may only be able to fly a Spit V instead of the Spit XVI for example. But hey they virtually the same but the Spit V is just slower than the Spit XVI.  And I tell you some players on the opposite side dont care for thier 400mph + P-38G to be shot down By an early war plane. :)  :lol  :rofl  :salute

Just left the late war blue arena because the ENY was high. That's what ENY is for right? Gets you so annoyed you leave. Trouble is the cap on the other late war arena is set so low you can't get in there. HTC is there some way you can coordinate those two annoying features?

It only annoys those who are married to an imaginary chess piece. Those that wish to play the game know what I mean.

First deliveries of the 38G occurred in June 1942 (According to Dean - AHT), and the plane is available to fly in the AH Early War arena - it is an early war airplane (for a U.S. plane).

That's true in the EW, I was thinking late war because that was the context of this thread. The 38G is actually not a bad plane if ENY's got you down.  While it is an early war bird it can get a decent head of steam going, dives well, has a great gun package, can lug 2000lb's of bombs around if need be, and comes in at 30 ENY.

Some folks need a plane to offset experience. If they'd just get some experience in the other aircraft they may be pleasantly surprised.

ENY is great. If your on low number side and didn't have ENY, not only would you be facing the horde, it would be a horde of high performance AC.

I don't think allot of people get the purpose of ENY. Its to balance the playing field..... AC vs numbers

Thanks for all the helpful responses.  Looking forward to receiving your 15 bucks in the mail.  Then I will be more than happy to do things "your way".  Which as we all know is the only right way.

Well seeing as we are having fun and your pissin and moaning, maybe our way IS a better way? Just saying  :aok

Don't express your political views in game and you won't get muted.  Political/religious comments have no place in this game and before you throw out the "Freedom of Speech" card, remember that you leave those rights at the login screen.

If you filter out the patronizing and the sarcastic self-aggrandizements, the point is that there are many great planes that are ENY 20 and up. 

For fast rides, there is the Yak-9U, or the 109K-4, among others. 

For turny birds, there is JunkyII’s favorite, the Brewster.  Or an I-16.  Or a A6M5 (20?); A6M2 (40 for sure.)

Some planes, like the P-40s and the P-39s might take altitude and some selective engagements, but they can be a lot of fun. 

You have choices other than logging off or switching countries.

Here we go again, school must be out and the heat on.

Don't these kids have a hornet nest in a backyard somewhere to go poke with a stick, or a lake to go off to and drown in this summer, or something better to do with their parent's CCs?

Thanks for all the helpful responses.  Looking forward to receiving your 15 bucks in the mail.  Then I will be more than happy to do things "your way".  Which as we all know is the only right way.

99 out of 100 paying customers have been doing it "our way" quite successfuly for a while now.


Oh, i know, that's probabley not what you came crying here to the boards about and expected to hear, so here: woo, woo, woo, we're so sorry, you're right, it's completely unacceptable to be flying on the country with the most player population and imbalance ontop of not being allowed to fly whatever skill-compensating late-war cannon-laden ride of your choice.  



Why does everyone in this game insist on telling people what they should like and how they should think?  I like hawgs and spitfires, it is that simple.  My reason has NOTHING to do with how they perform in the game.  That is why I pay to play!  I really wish the forum was used by HT/team to "listen" to feedback and not feel compelled to defend.  And everyone here follows their lead and jumps on people for NOT thinking like they do!

I know this sounds negative and for that I apologize.  I have said in other posts how much I have enjoyed the new towns, bases, views from this recent patch and I am grateful as a paying customer!  But adding yet another thing for me to wade through in order to get in game to fly is frustrating.  I'm now editing sound files for Christ's sake and once done I will still need to deal with the old issues of arena caps, Eny, and being muted for expressing my political view on a channel when someone complains they can't find work.  


It is simple, you like flying hogs and spitfires, so when ENY kicks in go fly one that isn't one of the top best late-war models, that leaves you with over half of the models of spits and hogs in the game to choose from and be happy... so why are you so unhappy here?... so simple a caveman can do it... or at least see through your teeth the "WAAAAAAAAHHHH I CANT FLY THE SPIT 16, C-HOG, or F4u-4 WAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!".



Sorry I was not specific F4U-1D and Spit IX.

But thanks for telling me and others what we should enjoy flying.

No one is telling you what you should enjoy flying.  We're telling you that you cant be on the country with the highest population flying some of the best planes in the set, but you refuse to see the logic in this and instead take it as a direct insult and spat in your face.  How about instead of blaming all of us for your situation you do somethin about it like change to a lower populated country, maybe?  PS - your mom said she'll be home in an hour, if you haven't cleaned your room yet or taken a bath and are upset that's ok, she'll be along shortly to do it all for you and make you feel better.

Ok.  So, the point is "Fly high ENY planes, or you will be thrown in a lake.  In a burlap sack.  Filled with hornets."
