often even more than both combined, yet will have less in flight.
When ENY is 20+ forget about any fair chance in the GV game.
The old argument that 10 tower sitters up
two things,
first - an example Bish had 28 online, 16 in the game (12 in the tower for hours, no mission), rooks had 9 in the game, knights had 8. Rooks and knights were not fighting. it was more r less 16 v 17 witht eh 16 flying early war only, carrier was useless only ftr was a pathetic zeke. best tank was a panzer mk3 or 4 the one w/o the side skirts
second - talk on 200 from more than one player was that non-bish were joining bish to sit i the tower and drive up the eny. I have to admit a few names in there I never noticed on bish before.
solution - it is so simple and easy to implement ( literally a keystroke)
1. idle time out setting on the server. sit still and do nothing for "x" amount of time, booted from the server. I mean literrally do absolutley nothing, moving it turret after the time out warning is enough to reset the timer, but go have dinner, come back and yer booted.
2. turn off eny
3. encourage side swapping (DIDN'T WORK)
So we must ask why? One reason might be, you go to log in and play and see only 24 players on instead of 42. regardless the pro_eny f4u-4 dominators who rack up their scores on these eny day have won the whining war and as a result, numbers seems lower. hytech needs to consider, why are numbers are in the 50's range instead of the 200's range of ten years ago, what has caused that and what can be done to shift it back. If iw as runing this show, i would do every single thing in my power to get numbers up. That includes the passing on the cries of the 10 to 15 who love the eny disparity and side with the other 60 or so who are sick of it INMHO
