Anybody know HTC's stance on ENY?

[mERv]

Some of you folks either don't remember or don't know HTC's stance on ENY. So imma share what Dale has personally told me. You solve the ENY problem by switching sides.

So, if HQ is in this game it is always going to be a very attractive target in some cases. If your sole purpose to play this game is to be a fighter jock, which I have no problem with btw, then I suggest you switch sides for 6 hrs if you lose your map or resup it.

I understand ALL of the dynamics, concerns, and complaints. This isn't a new HQ war, these are 2 situations where strategic suppression was intended and worked. You know how I protect my efforts against 20-40 players? I take away a crutch that gives my team an edge defending captured bases.

This whole nonsense of people logging , that I'm killing the game...  I log out when there is a double team going on and you have to fight 20 guys at whatever base your defending on either front. I log out when Bishops horde 30 deep and take everything I just worked hard for. We all log out for various reasons we don't like. 

Like me or hate me I'm going to exercise my will to the best of my ability every single time I log in. You can try and stop it. Some of you do and it works! Just takes coordinated effort.
That's how this game works. I don't fly off map, I don't fly NOE.

75% of the time I'm working on base takes or defense, 20% of the time I'm furballing in gunships. That other 5% I promise you this. If I take bases all the way to your strat the HQ is getting dropped and for that matter double tapped. I don't take bases like that during the night. I do it during the day and sometimes it happens during primetime.

You have two options. Play the war and defend your HQ or do your thing and end up right back where we started.

All I know about ENY is that the 190D and yak3 should be a 5 ENY and the spit16 should be perked

II have felt the same. The game is pseudo-stagnet and needs a few good events like this to shake things up a bit. AH is not dead. She is alive and kicking still

its wild to me the 190D isnt already ENY 5.

Agreed with all that!

Add the incredible hard-to-kill and very fast B26B and set it to a lower ENY, currently at 20. I remember when 6 sets of B26's went rampaging, killed all the defensive fighters, obliterated the field they were attacking with only a few losses of their own.
You have a very hard time getting within range often with its high speed at low altitude,they also take more damage than any other plane in game.

I'm with you man. B26s are super fast and incredibly tough, along with TU2s that are also light, can turn very well, have nasty guns, and can sink a CV. Should easily be perked or 5 ENY for what they are capable of.


Here's my thing: how is it that the spit14 and TA152 used to be perked, but then you have a plane like the 190d and spit16 getting 35% of kills as fighters and they weren't replaced with the perked fighters that weren't even as good? Unfortunately we have good players taking advantage of these planes and its not doing noobs any good.

IRL the B26 were very fragile, susceptible to wing damage from flak and fighters, due to its  high  wing loading.

Personally I think his stance on ENY is "IDGAF!"

The perk system was implemented in 2001 the NMY system for side balancing 2004. It's been 19 years and ENY Is and always has been a Fracken Feces Fest! It has been a contributing factor to me leaving AH more than once, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

If HT wanted people to switch sides than maybe he shouldn't have a time lock on side switching.

No one wants to get stuck an opposing side opposite their buddies/squadies for 4 to 12 hours and the new autochange for perk system can still leave you high and dry on an opposing side so it really did very little to fix the NMY Probem because very few people use it and it can't really be used at the squad or a group level.

But then again I wonder if HT realizes PEOPLE LIKE TO FLY WITH THEIR SQUADS AND FRIENDS.

The only major argument against unlimited side switching is spying and taking control of CVs to sink them from another side.

The spying issue is a suppository and people that complain about it should use it as such. Better yet, maybe people should just put the spying thing to rest and live stream their map from the tower to youtube/twitch/facebook. I mean it's not like there is anything anyone can do about it, I would do it but I have better things to do with my time and money like trying to get the bikini barista to flash me when i get my Coffee in the morning.

Side switching to sink the other guys CV has an easy fix .... Time lock CV control to prohibiting a player from controlling the CV from 1 -2 hours after a side switch. I'm guessing that would have used less coding time than the autoswitch system and it would be less of a problem then getting stuck on a side for 4 hours.

I don't care I fly DCS and IL2:GB.

The last few days on this forum have been more entertaining than any game.

Speaking of Forum Fun .... I kinda wish some one would crawl this forum and compile a list or at least make a count of every "ENY SUCKS" Thread .... Warning: they go back to 2004!

You are missed Mayhem

Hope we can get you back in here for a tour or 3
