Poll to follow up on ENY Question
« on: December 05, 2016, 12:23:02 PM »
A simple poll r.e. the ENY discussion below:

Who logs when ENY prevents them from flying their favorite plane? And who does not log but happily picks another plane?

I know this is opening oneself up to being flamed, but I'd like to really understand if ENY is discouraging players from flying while keeping the game fair for everyone. 

And for the record, I log when I can't ride my P-51D. It's just such a good turnfighter!

If I'm the only one logging, I'll fly a storch for an entire campaign for all to vulch.

Thanks -

Mutha

If I can fly my 38.....you will find me in a KI61 (35eny) If the ENY wont let me get into a KI61 that means that there wouldn't be anyone on the other side playing to shoot at....and if there was, I would have 100 friendlys shooting over my shoulder.  Poor sap on the other side would feel like:  http://www.ushistory.org/us/40b.asp

Honestly, I usually fly low number side anyway. Just winds up that when I play...Knits are usually low numbers.

I typically choose a new plane. If the eny is over 25, it's very difficult to jabo and destroy bases though. It's also difficult if you are fighting a side that has an equal or more players at the fight you are at, while they have La7s and 190Ds, and you have to fly F4U1s or something like that. Sure you can be successful and land kills, but the level of challenge is much higher.

I logoff.  When the reverse is the case often my opponents logoff.

Neither situation is any fun. 

I want targets.   ENY negatively impacts this.

As soon as they add planes higher than 40 ENY, I will switch to one of those if called for.

The goal of ENY is to get players to switch sides, but it sounds like most players simply fly higher ENY planes for the same side.

Therefore, ENY does not accomplish its main goal, which is to balance the numbers.

It does accomplish the secondary objective, which is to handicap the dominant country with fewer perky planes.  But does that matter if one country outnumbers the others?

It balances the numbers through logoffs...

The sideswitch rule works in opposition to ENY.

i do not mind switching planes.   The only grief eny has for me is base defense and the wirbel is eny out.  M16 still works though.

Change planes. If you log, you're a loser.

ENY doesn't affect me one bit. I can fly all kinds of planes badly.  :banana:

I've already been called a deplorable.  Loser is a promotion.
