Fugitive,

I agree, the "win the war" game has become one dimensional.  This is more of the reason why folks log off, but it is compounded by being horded, which is not always a result of difference in country numbers, but rather country tactics.  THEREFORE I stand by my statement the ENY does not IMPROVE balance in the way that it was intended.

For example:  Rooks will have superior numbers (therefore handicapped by ENY) yet the typical stradegy of Rooks is to try and defend against the Bishop horde (insert Knight as well).  This is a classic example of ENY interference that does nothing to slow down the advance of the HORDING country and punishes the ganged defenders.  Insert a two front defense aimed at both Bishop and Knight forces, which happen to be interested in Rook real estate, even I have logged off, given no reasonable alternative.

The fact that you have 3 countries was supposed to balance the numbers.  ENY has failed to address the real problem which is hording.  I  am just putting forth a scheme to at least make ENY a valuable component in a undermanned country's defensive.

not all squads are like that Chilli :old:  I agree that being stuck on one country would be annoying

Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

ENY should be available at any time from the clipboard while flying, landing, etc., IMO to allow you to decide whether to land or rearm, etc. Since the tower is not manned and someone doesn't always answer you, even if they happen to know the ENY on a particular craft....So? Sound fair to you guys?

^^^

I think that you can still get the country ENY while in flight, but if you don't happen to know what ENY cost (I can agree with that).  So if am I reading this correctly, the ENY cost is what you say is not available while in flight.  Even though it doesn't change, there are too many planes to be expected to accurately remember many of their costs.

Again, another way that current ENY application is a system that just rubs me the wrong way.

Actually, I was addressing availability, but why not both?  :banana:

So, now if I am reading you right, you would like to be able to pull up the hangar clipboard while in flight.

I agree that would fix the problem.   :old:  Sorry, I was slow on the uptake.
