Yak9U vs Yak3

[Chris79]

This is more of an ENY question, why does the Yak9u have an ENY of 23 and the Yak3 have an ENY of 18? It seems to me that the Yak9u is more versatile then the Yak3. The Yak3 is a slightly better turn rate and rate of climb, the Yak9u is faster and dives a whole lot better. I feel the Yak9u's ability to boom into a furball at speeds 75 to 100mph faster then the Yak3 negates the slight turn and climb advantage that the Yak3 pocesses.

As far as I know usage numbers determine ENY/perk cost, not capability. It's a usage balancing tool. Although capability and usage numbers are usually closely related.

Why does the CHog have a low ENY?  The 262??

[PR3D4TOR]

Because they're perked and awesome?

Well yea, I agree, but does not support your statement that "usage numbers determine ENY/Perk cost".  Be clear please

If you were here when the chog  came out you would understand the usage part. It was wall to wall  chog when they came out, pretty much the only  thing in the air.

I was.  It wasn't the problem you make it out to be and I have always held the stance that HTC was wrong in perking it

ENY limits the usage of the best planes when there is an imbalance in player numbers. So the horde can't use Chogs and 262s even if they have the perks. Also without a low ENY the perk rides would also be perk farmers which is counter productive to the whole perk system. A high ENY in aircraft that see little use is an incentive to use those rides to farm perks.

I completely understand the idea of ENY but believe it was an HTC response to complaints from multiple subscribers that fell victim to a HO attack.


A Chog is not a deathstar

HTC collects usage statistics I suspect...

Please elaborate to my response.  I believe we have established usage is NOT the only deciding factor

What makes you believe that?

[DmonSlyr]

It is based on the estimated effectiveness of the plane. The ammo loadout, ord load out, fuel load, and the planes real capabilities compared to others, and the time it was used in the war. These all have a factor on the eny # it is given. While some planes could be disputed. I think the scale is very quite accurate. The yak3 holds and retains E better and turns better, so it could be more effective in the MA. Idk, most say that plane is a beast, but Im not that big on yaks.

No, usage isn't factored in to determine ENY or perks.

A perked ride will never be a good perk farmer, as ENY does not determine the number of perks received at the end of your mission.
