HTC; A kind request...

[Sunka]

Trust me. I played in a game that didnt have kill shooter where if a friendly shot a friendly. the friendly being shot at took damage and blew up.

What you will end up with are  people who switch sides to help capture a base or clowns who think its funny to sit on the end of a runway and shoot up every plane that tries to up.
In the other guy after doing this 3 times. the next time you tried to up you were PNG and couldn't have any ammo for 24 hours. BUT that didnt help in the time it was being done. Kind of an after the fact punishment.

Here it works. If you dont just hold the trigger down and fire in short bursts like you should. And you pay attention to who and what is around you like you should be doing. and you dont insist on shooting over other peoples shoulders like you shouldnt be doing. The chances of you shooting yourself down become very small. I've been here over 11 years and the amount of times I've shot myself down or even damaged my own plane by hitting a friendly are minute in comparison to the amount of sorties I've had.

I like how it worked in AW and would like that system in this game.As far as kill shooter, trust me i don't spray and pray i fly a p 51 b most times and i don't have the ammo to waste, i have a very very good hit % on fighters,the problem i have is saddling up on a guy taking the time to wear him down and i am 200 off him (i dont fire before 200) and you get pickers that dive in from way up and get right in front of me as they try to cherry pick.

The fraggers were irritating to the point of inciting virtual road rage.  I'm happy to give up that little extra dose of reality in exchange for freedom from fraggers.

And they are wrong

The plane has far more to do with the success of the pilot than most give credit for.  The speed, agility, or raw firepower of an aircraft can give an otherwise careless and uninterested pilot a huge buffer to hang their hat on.  

Dont kid yourself, the "fear the pilot not the plane" knee-jerk response only goes so far.    

Oh, and I highly support a MAJOR over-haul in the ENY settings.  Dont forget the OBJ settings either!

[ROC]

it's a request that some of the ENY values be changed to that there is a reason to fly the 'crappy' rides against the late war rides.

Some:  Which Ones?

Crappy: Define which ones you "think" are crappy and why you believe they are. 

See the problem here?  Vague, you are generalizing, and making broad assumptions hoping someone who can change the game knows what you mean.

You know what you mean, so it shouldn't be hard to just say it.  No mind readers here, except maybe
Lusche, but even there maybe you should compare notes cause it's possible he only thinks he knows what you mean   Who can say? 

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, just asking for something specific to consider.

If it could be shown that certain early war birds had been de commissioned from active front line duty by 44 then I challenge why they were in a late war MA at all.  P40B? Spit1, Hurri1, others?

This may then permit the spreading of eny more appropriately over the remainder.

Absolutely NOT.  I would challenge more people to climb out of their LW cannon-laden monsters and fly some of the earlier birds.  At least there's still a choice for people who like the challenge of it.

Maybe you want an arena with just Tempest, C-Hog, and N1K1?

That's a good point, if that could be shown. Perhaps the LWA should be changed to... the '1939-1945 Arena', if it turns out it currently contains a historically inaccurate plane set?

Maybe you want an arena where you can up your Sopwith  Camel and  take out an ME262. A boost to your ego may be but not a late WWII ac match.

On the basis that

Early= Sept 39 to Aug 41
Mid  = Sept 41 to Aug 43
Late = Sept 43 to Aug 45

Why should a Spit1, Hurri1, P40B, I-16? or any other ac with drawn from front line service be in the late war arena any more than a 262 should be in the early war arena.

So we call it the WWII arena as LCA Dolby suggests?

I need no ego boost; I play to have fun.  To me it's more fun if it takes a little skill and time to kill someone.  To each their own, I guess.

Why shouldn't Spit1, Hurri1, etc. be in the late war arena?  They still existed at that time; even if they weren't front-line planes anymore.  The 262 didn't exist in the early years, so it's ludicrous to made your argument that way.

No it isn't.........

262's were not in combat in 39 and Spit 1's were not in combat  in 45 . The logic is perfect.
