Who Loves ENY?
« on: December 04, 2016, 10:37:24 PM »
I know there are some that dislike the ENY handicap, and some that don't mind it at all, but is there anyone who is HAPPY to get that little message prohibiting usage of low-ENY vehicles?

Or is it more like sitting down to play your usual game of chess and being told that in order to make the game more fun for everyone, you don't get to play with all your usual pieces?

I despise it.   It ruins fights and craters numbers.

I do! It's the satisfaction of knowing you won't be seeing many P51D, P47M or Spit 16 when you're country is already outnumbered two to one (or more).

I mostly fly planes with ENY 20 or higher so normally its no issue, If ENY gets over 20 its time for a side switch.

I like it. It means lots of perks earned. I got about 17 for 3 kills in a Mossie.

How can you compare it to a game of chess when in chess all things are already equal on both sides?

Just my thought on the ENY system. I understand the idea behind it but I would like to see it more as a tiered system based on pilot ranking.

Tier 1 – Pilots ranked 1-100

Tier 2 – Ranking 100 – 1000

Tier 3- Ranking 1000+ NO ENY because like me you are just a target for the other side and you need all the time in this fighter you can get…

It needs to be turned off after about 2 a.m. CST. Low numbers lead to idiotic results, especially when one side has high numbers just because a few people went to bed without logging off and are sitting in the tower overnight. With 200 players that doesn't make much difference, with 30 people actually playing between the 3 countries the 10 people afk overnight make a huge difference.

I see the reason for eny.  It is effective as it moves perk rides out of reach but the restrictions on planes like the P-51 and wirble just anger players.  I usually choose a P-38 so rarely am I affected by eny restrictions. 

I would be in favor of still letting eny stop perk rides but allow rides like the P-51 to to be unrestricted but let eny go negative and restrict scoring and perks.  Negative is just an example but might be  interesting.

Just perk the 190D, La7 and Spit16. Tired of runners and EZ mode flying. It's creating too much timid game play. ENY won't really need to matter if these hotshot planes are already perked. You should have to at least earn the ability to fly these planes so often.

I typically only fly the G2,47-D40, and my recent love affair is the 190A8!!

Opinions on timid flying are irrelevant and an EZ mode plane is any ride a pilot has mastered.  I suspect we all have EZ mode rides, and I know we all have turned away from enemy planes.  There are no perks needed. The Dora does need to have its ENY adjusted down, and I think you will see it happen eventually.  Should be a 5-8 based on how much it is used.  The LA's and Spit's are already 5 ENY so they disappear quickly when ENY kicks in.

Every time someone says they hate eny because they can not fly anything under 20
