« on: December 31, 2010, 03:50:26 PM »
just a lil curious here, why is it that the delta model has an eny of 5 and the bravo model has an eny of 20 when in the game the bravo is better than the delta?

What makes you think the B is better than the D ?

Now, where does most combat happen in AH? Above in that narrow band around 17k and above ~27k (that's where the B is performing better), or below 10k, where the P-51 is faster? And which model has 50% more firepower than the other? ;)

well that may be where you fight at but for me and the rest of the squad during our escorts we fly well above 10k. What i really would like is to have the eny on the delta up some, kinda tired of getting 4 or 5 kills and seeing that i barely get above 1 perk from a plane that was yes an icon of the war but not the best. thats all i want is for the eny to increase some on the delta

ENY isn't just about you only. ENY is about what happens in the arnena as a whole. And it will not get adjusted to suit the personal taste or mission profile of a small group pf players only.

Ok , but tell me this then why is the eny on the delta so low and the bravos not, i see no major advantage that the delta has.

I'd recommend taking note of the second half or my previous post:

You may also look up the performance differences yourself :)

P-51D is, by a significant margin, the most common airplane in the game.

Try doing escorts in P-47Ns perhaps?

so what if it is the most common plane in the game, even that i think your wrong i think those spitdweebs are the most common they spread like kudzu they are everywhere. Also the jug and the pony are very similar inside except the firepower and the ords varients are on the jug are greater, but the eny is still better. Btw lusche do you even play the game or do you just troll the forums and watch from afar?

To match the numbers of P-51Ds you have to add the Spitfire XVI, Spitfire VIII and, I think, the Spitfire IX.

So, no.
