Well here's a perfect example of how ridiculous the disabilling of side balancing is. This AM  29 Bishy.. 11 rooks...12 Nitzies...  and Porky Pig can fly a 262  or a C-Hog. Good for him, hope he enjoyed the couple of kills I gave him (not to mention I bailed out of the other buffs  LOL)

weren’t perk planes except feom ENY cap?  I thought they were available at higher prices.

Yes perk cost would rise with eny. Now if everyone gets on one side they can roll the terrains for perks. ROTFLMAO.

Perking low eny planes is the solution. I think its better if players can play with their rides, as long as they pay substantial perks when the #s are lopsided. By having eny take these planes out, more people will log off. Atleast with perks they would have to take a risk. It might stop them from logging out. IMO balancing the #s by forcing logout are not good for the game. We need as many #s as possible in the MA as can be.

While perk prices were rising when your side had a numerical advantage, perk planes were subject to the same ENY limits as any other plane. Once ENY  limit went 5+, you couldn't launch perk planes anymore.

My 109f, Spit 9, and La5 are usually not affected by the eny.  I like the best fights I can get so if that means allowing people to fly their favorite planes, let's keep it the way it is!

Oh and Dolby:  let's, minimize, Town buildings, take-off

How about this.

Turn NMY on only when one side outnumbers or equals both sides combined or one sides has double the numbers of one of the other countries provided we have at least 50-75 people or more in the arena. (This alone should do away with the Off peak NMY BS that has me at the point of giving up on AH for good.)

When NMY is on you should get a free change to another country and 5 perks for changing to the country with the mid range numbers and a free country change and 10 perks to change to the country with the least numbers.

Country changes outside the free NMY change should be reduced from 6 to 1 or 2 hours at most. This will reduce the likelihood you will get screwed if NMY follows you. Or you get stuck after NMY turns off and you can't change back to your regular country.

The country with the least numbers when NMY is on should get perked rides at a much lower price to even free depending on how badly they are outnumbered.

When you all come up with ideas remember HiTech is the one that has to code them into the game and thanks to the pandemic he's not going to have a lot of help. Some Ideas are going to be harder to implement than others.

Bish have been running double #s than both Rook/Knight combined most of these nights. It's only natural for both sides to gravitate to fight the higher # side.


So double teaming is OK?

Lame excuse for it.

Think you missed his observation? It is the "NON numerically advantaged teams" fighting the "Numerically advantaged" team. IMHO the higher player team should LOVE this! More fights! The "Win De War" mentality isnt as rampant these days, in my experience. Its about finding bad guys and killing them. I tend to see 2 sides with close numbers, clubbing the lower numbered team, more actual these days. Its the same for me, either way! Either scenario means fights are to be found! With the "New" ENY setting...it doesnt matter that 12 guys are sitting in the tower causing my teams ENY to be a dis advantage. This was the best change I have experienced! Without a way to "Kick/Purge" idol players, this is acceptable to me!

Looks like most of the folks should just get on one team and run the maps. That seems to be what they really want. Fight those pesky fields.

ENY is going to drive more players away from the game.

It's the same typical crap day in day out. NIT's & Rook typically double team Bish. Bish forced to defend 2 fronts with paper tanks & planes on either front. Then one country runs up base takes of Bish bases...then y'all log off and leave just enough guys on to keep them screwed.

Guys running around in 262's & ME163's, Tiger2's, etc and we got crap.

So done with this crap.

ENY should just trigger a perk cost. The more your side outnumbers the other(s) the more planes are perked. Wanna fly that P-51 while you club those seals in a 5 on 1? Sure! That’ll be 5 perks. 10 on 1? That’ll be 10 perks.
