Who Loves ENY?

[BuckShot]

Yes, kill eny and then change the name of the game to "P-51Ds High." Cough,  cough...

My latest thought on side balancing and let everyone fly the non perked plane or gv of choice is a bit of a different look at the problem.

A large side imbalance  has little effect on furbals.  A furball is just red against green.  ENY restrictions just angers people.

A large side imbalance does have a large effect on field captures and map wins. Again ENY restrictions just angers people and have near zero effect to drive down a large side imbalance.

Now my latest idea.  Why not change the parameters on things like strat rebuild time instead of ENY restrictions to keep thinks like ack guns from being down for 2 hours.  Maybe make the city nearly indestructible or simply do away with starts altogether.  You still need perked plane and gv restrictions when an imbalance occurs.

That would be fun as far as I am concerned.  Nobody could run, could they?

[Lazerr]

ENY needs to be adjusted.

Also, so does perk point cost per plane based on usage.

We arent in 2008 anymore..

Instead of limiting plane/vehicle selection, maybe numbers imbalance should more directly affect base capture.

Instead of 10 troops, the high number side would have 9, 8, 7...etc. per Goon or M3.  (This would also reduce "sneaks".)

The high number side would not have bombs heavier than 500lbs (250kg), or fewer bombs or GV ordnance per load.

Or, something....???

[icepac]

have numbers imbalance affect score multiplier drastically.

ENY serves its purpose...

If you don't like the ENY...fly early war planes more often then you can't cry when you can't get a Pony or LA7



To leave ENY in effect as is and kill 2 birds with 1 stone...allow people under the duress of ENY to use their perks to get Ponies or LA7s...

You just stopped 100 people from crying about ENY and you gave another 100 people something else to spend perks on...

[Vraciu]

I don't like it so I log.  Many others do the same.  It's getting to the point I am hit with it on nearly every login.  That's not a system that's a nuisance. 

Perk offsets would help.   I never use perks any way so at least I could use them on a Mustang. 

[Golden Dragon]

I agree.  The Yaks take more damage than a B-17.  I simply don't fight them anymore.  I just zoom up to a higher altitude and extend away.  I've emptied an entire '51 B into some before without even causing them to leak.  I doubt that's accurate damage modeling.

[gflyer]

+1 to Pullers idea.

That would work. If ENY kicks in and keeps you from using something, you have to SPEND perks to use it.  Want to use that Pony D at 35 ENY?  That'll be 50 perks.

[popeye]

XX perks for a (insert plane type here)?????

No way!!!!  That's too (high) (low)!!!!

problem solved....   

[morfiend]

How about leaving eny as is but add a perk cost to planes with a 15 eny and lower. As the side eny increases the cost of those non-perked planes increases!

  So what about new players with no perks.... give them a 90 day with the 2 free weeks included exemption. Allow new players the use of any plane perked or not during the exemption time.


  Down side,well I can see many shade accounts made to try to get the free planes,but that gives HTC more accounts and more revenue. Besides it doesnt matter what you wrap hamburg in it's still hamburg!


  Just something I thought could help,maybe not but I'd like to hear others thoughts and maybe something can come of this!


  YMMV!

That may help out the people on the high numbered country that have the perks to burn and are willing to spend them.  But...


What about the newer or less skilled people not being able to do so, because of insufficient perks?  They will whine about this for sure.  Maybe even leave , as some uber vets are claimed to have left due to ENY restrictions.  The resulting situation would be almost identical to the original problem, no?  No P-51Ds for them.  Are new people leaving somehow better than regulars leaving?

And what of the low numbered side now having to face skilled vets in perked planes, in addition to being significantly outnumbered?  The country loyalists might just log off, due to the untenable situation of fighting against such a force. 




A much shorter side switch time would help, if the P-51D loyalists would use it.  But they wouldn't.  Everyone wants to eat their cake and still have it too.  Suppose someone's favorite plane is the Tempest or C-Hog or the 262?  Should they also get unlimited use?  It's their $15, right?  This is a game and ENY is to keep the uber planes somewhat in check.  Without ENY, it would just be everyone on one side, all flying uber planes and the game would be over in short order.

If you really want full time availability, you can always create a custom arena with only the P-51D enabled.  It would be interesting to see how many exclusive P-51D players would show up in an arena where it was all down to skill and nobody could run away.

I have a drastic solution to this issue.
