Flak Accuracy/ENY
« on: July 19, 2017, 05:03:49 PM »
With all the heart burn about eny vs the planes available, why not tie the accuracy of auto ack to eny and leave the plane selection alone? :joystick:

Increased auto ack accuracy wouldn't encourage balancing teams.

Well, it might encourage people to log much like it does now.

Please explain how the current system doesn't encourage swapping teams. People are making problems out of things that they can control. If eny is a problem, swap countries.

"But my squad/friends are here...", or, "I'm not flying for Rook/Bish/Nit...", or, "<insert random x/y/z reason>", etc, etc.

On the other side of the coin:

"You filthy rotten spy!  You sold us out!!!"

It's a double-edged sword.

If "eny" is intended to create an "equalization" of all three sides, it has failed. Not due to the intent of the methodology, but due to the human factor as stated by Volron. Most of the complaints about "eny" on the forum are about not being able to "fly" what the user wants to fly. I don't know anyone that changes sides because of "eny", not saying there aren't any, but I have never seen any switch for that reason. I know "eny" is NOT a reason for me to switch.

Sadly, this is how it is now. It's a problem with the community, not the game.

The reason ENY is there is to help encourage side swapping to even the number of players. If players can't fly their ride of choice due to ENY, they have an option to change that. Again, it's not a problem with the game.

Please explain how you think that increasing the accuracy of auto ack would help encourage balancing the teams.

Never, because we don't have complaints about ENY. If we did, we would swap.

It would not, but it would impact the effectiveness of the larger group, while still allowing the players to use their "ride" of choice. I understand the purpose of eny, and Hitechs reasoning for its implementation (as best as one can remotely), and it is HIS game to do as he sees fit. :cheers:
