I could say the same

You have yet to provide a valid reason or data that shows that a RPS system would encourage more people to play the game versus the current setup of the Melee Area or other arenas. Many people have brought up reasons, but your still drinking that kool-aid. But, all this is for another thread.

I agree with fork, as I have said in other threads the horde thing is killing the game play.  its to the point I am considering not renewing my acct.  every morning about 9-10 am I log in to a rolling horde of bish.  there is no way for an avg to sub avg player to defend against 4-5 planes booming and zooming while three gvs are destroying the town with there rocket tanks and there is a constant highway of events to the knight and rooks strats.
much like popeye don't want to pay to fly planes he don't like I am tired of logging in to be owned by a horde of picking and vulching bish every morning.  I cant say I feel bad for anyone that has 2-3x the people on not being able to up a tiger2 against an already struggling group, or judge in his 190d that does nothing put vulch and pick.  then its even better when we are out numbered and guys go to the higher numbered side and then asked why the reply is "it is funner over here lol". 
I think the eny should be doubled in those cases as well as the hardness of the cities and strat follow eny.  like bruv said it sucks to loose a base to a swarm of jeeps after you have defended for an hour

ENY isnt that big of a deal. If you want a P51 fly the P51B. If you want a Spit 16, fly a Spit 8. If you want to fly a N1k fly a Hurri2C. LA7? Use the 5. Theres almost always a slightly less well performing but similar optiob available. It just helps even the fight when your country has excessive numbers.

this is popeye we are talking about though atlau he doesn't get a chance to get out of his M3 much therefore is reluctant to learn to fight with any aircraft let alone 30+ eny.

I play during these conditions too.  Maybe it is the way you look at it, your attitude.  My attitude is I probably am not going to stop them from taking a base, but I am going to defend that base.  I'm going to kill them one at a time.  I'm not going to get them all.  Then they take the base and switch to another base to take, and i do the same thing again, joyfully, giggling.

I know this subject has been discussed repeatedly, but I've finally had enough of it to finally say something.

I've been playing now for 4-5 years as a Bishop. Currently the Bishops have more players so the ENY kicks in.
Because this almost every time I log on I'm forced to use planes and tanks I don't what to use, nor should any player in any other country.
And please don't suggest I switch sides. I know some guys do, but there is no way I'd shoot down guys I just flew with..."Band of Brothers."
And also do not suggest I learn to fly high ENY planes...I don't want too!
I pay a monthly fee to play AH, which in my mind, means I should be able to fly or drive anything I want at any time?
Not fun, nor right, for me to constantly fight say fight Tiger's with high ENY tanks, or defend a base in a Brewster while they're flying 262's.

Additional thought. New guy is thinking about joining AH, his favorite chess piece is a Knight, and he wants to fly P-51's. But he logs on the Rooks & Bishops have a few more players and he can not fly his preferred aircraft? You think he's going to start an account where his options in choices are limited?

I'll deal with it for a few more months, but if it does not change I will cancel my account.

I know it's only $15, but I'm guessing I'm not the only player who is about to quit, or has already pulled the plug over the ENY issue, which is one I perceive as ill-advised if you want to retain the few accounts you have.

V/R
Commander USN-Ret


OMG...........This new guy must fly his favorite ride on a county that isn't troubled with ENY........Problem solved

"V/R  Commander USN-Ret "........wow take your ball and go home...really quitting....never knew a Commander in any branch of service I have know with that attitude. The Bishops have dominated AH III and you want to abolish the ENY, then tell your folks to log and even the sides up..........or do away with the perks awarded for the map win and that will really even up the game play as you'll earn your perks on your combat skills. As long as the Bish have a 92% win rate on the current maps.....deal with the ENY like a grown up. Your domination of the game is leaving a bad taste in a lot of folks mouth, and has contributed to a lot of players throwing in the towel ...and you have the gall to say do away with ENY, next thing your going to want are perks just for showing up. The game has some real flaws, but ENY is not one of them. If you haven't noticed AH III is a much harder game...............for everyone, and not just you.

No I get it all right, a bunch of whiners don't give a darn about what losing play balance does to a game (it kills it)....

They just want to join up with their buddies and count coup on someone else  the entire day...

 NO ONE wants to log in and face unequal odds (to be your B!@&ch all day) just so you and your 4 best friends can delude yourselves into thinking you're actually good gamers (not to mention good pilots).

 Grow up, take the remedies offered (change sides, fly another plane) and stop being a bunch of old loser farts who can't stand change or competition.

 It's not your place that you should decide at the expense of everyone else what should be done.  Whining about how you pay your money doesn't mean I should pay mine to be your B%$#ch. Your kind of crotchety old fool attitudes have gone a LONG way to killing this game.

Nonsense.  People want to switch for balance but get screwed by the six-hour rule. 

WE NEVER had balance problem in WB with two sides.  People switched for balance ALL THE TIME

ENY primarily balances sides by causing log offs.   Real productive.

I don't like the 51B.

51D the most overrated ENY in the game.  It's fast.  That's about it.
