How "disrespectful" is it to post yet ANOTHER whine about eny and threaten to leave the game if you don't get your way?

I'm sure not there is a good answer, especially with squads that are dedicated to one country/side (like us, DFA - 20+ years as BISH), or players that want to fly with their countrymates, or time zones, etc.   IMO, the only truly effective side-balancing solution would be assignment to a country when you first log in, ensuring the numbers were equal.  But then that ruins the game for a lot of folks because they are here for their squad ops and their country community.  ENY is probably the best answer, but I think it has to be constantly reviewed/tweaked, realizing no matter what you do, someone is going to be put at a disadvantage. 

I usually don't have a lot of issues with ENY because I fly planes like the Mossie/KI-61 or others, so I can almost always get my preferred plane up.  I have to climb higher (especially for you astronaut winged Rooks  :rofl) and TRY to fly smarter (mostly fail), but those are my choices.  I do understand why everyone gets frustrated, especially when the plane list is almost completely zero'd out with almost no options, particularly with the bombers and vehicles.

Very nice attitude!  AH has so many planes, it's a shame people don't use more of them.

I've been using the G-14 lately, while I am terrible in a fighter, I have been having some luck against bombers with it. :x

No offense intended

But demanding settings changes through threats, even if they are carried out, is the wrong approach.
To give in once means it ignites in the future the epidemic to giving in 1000 times. Today ENY, tomorrow Radar, the next day map settings or night, the list grows to infinite.

Every game programmer has heard it 10,000 times "Change this, or else".  The best way to not get it is to demand it. It may have been on the list of things to change, but once it's threatened off the list it goes, it sometimes forces it not to happen.

Its a shame some choose this path, better yet post it further putting a negative spotlight on the game, punishing all of us.

I can't go along with this concept. No small group should dictate the game to please them. No one is that special.

Problem is like McDs burger, the patty sucks, but will put lettuce on it and make it better, the patty sucks, put tomatoes on it too, the patty sucks, lettuce, tomato and onions should do it, the patty sucks. Anything but change the patty.

Anything but work on getting numbers up. Most of these settings fail (more noticeable) below critical mass 100-120. That same energy could have been directed in a positive way to advertise the game is still running. Instead they go negative and shrink numbers as if it did us a big favor.

But Finetime thinks he's that special. "OMG, on this rare occasion I can't use the quirks in the code I discovered to entrance and amaze my entourage! I must fly lesser planes in which I have no skill. This cannot continue! I am FINETIME!" Etc.
