It does make sense actually if you’re on the low side #’s, say there’s 12 or less of you on and 25-30 of the other country (often seen off hours) when 4 of the 12 are not in flight that leaves 8 to cover being attacked by the other two countries in high ENY rides always of course.
So while it doesn’t prevent the horde, it makes the horde have to learn/use more skill to achieve the results they want in more difficult planes. Does it not?
Maybe if there’s not going to be ENY going forward the high ENY LW planes much heavier, maybe?
