For all I know Hitech is getting ready to perk the 190D but I'm guessing he simply disagrees with you.

I hope he is working on some kind of Eny update. I would never know because there has been no announcement. I'm not the first person to mention it, but I'd like for some adjustments to be made to eny even if we can't agree on the #. But he should at least acknowledge that some of the planes need to be updated based on MA performance.

Apparently he already adjusted ENY with disagreement about the numbers.  Why do it again? It might get worse. :D

He doesn't need to acknowledge a theory he disagrees with.  You still haven't shown a problem, just a personal preference for what other people should be doing.

Btw, if you all don’t like runners, next Monday in the AvA is the BoB.
109e vs Spit1
110c vs Hurricane 1
C202 vs P40E

I know the latter wasn’t involved just figure adding a spicy meatball in the mix would liven things up

Excellent marketing segue.   :banana:

How about we keep China and Hillary away from our computer software tied to planes? That's not a conspiracy either...

Software?   767?


You do realize there are stab trim runaway procedures that are as old as electric trim systems right?

This might be a dumb question but I'll ask anyway.

If, when engaged in a fight and you lose a bit of SA and blow your E, would it not be a good idea to extend to remedy your ride's E deficiency? Would it also be a bad idea to turn back in to an enemy that is chasing you while trying to equalize your rides E state?

Most guys who like to fight would stick around and try to equalize E again and/or force the over shoot and shoot him down. Most general player would have run lonnnnggggg before they blew their E.

Not sure he does, but, if so, there's still probably a conspiracy theory to cover it.  :D

Just ask Obama's Birth Certificate creator... Oh wait.

The Yak3 is an 18 eny plane just under the P51B with 2500 more kills and a .4 better K/D. How is that rational with the current stats every month? The 190D is a 12 eny plane that achieves 1000 more kills with a better or close K/D than the La7, P47M, F4U, K4, Nik, Ki84, better K/D than a P51D and spit16. And you guys think they are rated fairly?

Come on man...

I have made no statements about the fairness of the ratings but I see no reason to second guess Hitech. I'm just trying to help you make a better argument.

Do you think a fair rating would result in equal statistics regardless of pilot?   Two different pilots in the same plane have different statistics so what does that prove about the plane? You want to compare it to different planes with other different pilots and then somehow everything should equal out because of perks? How does that make any sense? You have too many variables.

FLS,

If you look at Viol's request from the perspective that we are playing a sport game and not flying airplanes to shoot each other down, it makes sense what he is requesting. At the end, we are in a competition just like any online sporting game. Most online combat games are structured like a sport game anyway. In some ways this reminds me of tennis singles players. He wants the field adjusted based on a relationship of player choice of game play tools to acheive their outcomes to how he views his outcomes. They are running away from him and not playing to his strengths on the game field. He is not getting his dollar's worth while it appears they are happy with theirs. He wants the governing body to review the current paradigm from his perspective to make changes. 

This post is 15 pages in and is reducing to finger pointing and hijacking. I can remember 2 maybe 3 major perk and ENY adjustments by Hitech over the last 17 years. The rest of the wishlist postings have gone like this one.

not an issue for me.  5% of my deaths are by Dora. 4% of my kills are doras. 

They're tough to catch, and easy to avoid.  :salute

Nonsense. You would have a point if we were discussing dueling. It's a poor argument for the MA.

The thing about perks and ENY is that they aren't meant to make things fair, that's a pipe dream however desirable, perks and ENY work to reduce unfairness and that's the best we can hope for.  The downside is losing players because of perks and ENY so it's not an issue to play "let's see what happens" with.

That's a bit extreme.  Just perk everything with an ENY less than 40.
