What if ENY could vary by field?

[oboe]

Maybe ENY could vary by field size - larger fields naturally have more aircraft type availability than small fields - so as ENY begins affecting a country, the smaller fields feel the pinch before the larger ones do.  And what if you could affect the ENY for a field by flying cargo to it?   Spend enough time bringing in cargo loads and lower-ENY aircraft like P-51Ds could be activated at that field.

'course, you'd probably want a bigger, faster transport aircraft than the C-47, so you could do it faster or in fewer trips. 

Maybe THIS beauty?


The quickest way to avoid negative ENY effects would still be to change sides, but for those who simply cannot fly or fight for any other country but their own, this would give an option to gain some control over the situation.  Instead of logging off if your plane isn't available, you'd fly a cargo flight or two to get what you want.

Another great thing to do in the sandbox.  And opposing fighter pilots wouldn't be opposed to seeing more cargo planes in the sky, I'm sure...

dude you can get any plane you want at any airfield your at.

if I'm reading this right your talking 2 types eny-  plane eny and people eny- the higher people eny the less eny planes you can take.. bish almost always have a high eny but bish players be stubborn and won't change sides even when they sit there and complain about eny-- knights they same way   the Pigs on the wing changed to rook be they almost never have eny.

Eny is supposed to keep the sides even but they won't switch

[Vraciu]

Switching causes side switch timer penalty.   At present many consider it too onerous so they suffer or log off.

sorry I just found this out today on the buzzsaw map but some planes you cannot get and their some tanks you cannot get--I don't know why.

I liked the zone limits we had per base in Air Warrior but I'm not sure if it will work in today's AH3.

[guncrasher]

I dont think we have the numbers to even attempt to have a zone limit in ah3.  the other day I logged in frustration due to eny stopping me from flying my pony.  havent flowne in a couple of weeks and came back to find eny then buzzsaw map.  I think i had like 2 kills to 10 deaths.  then I logged off.  will try today to see what happens.
