Okay so he probably could have seen the #s right after a new map reset. I know Oceana was up a couple of days and it's a very hard map to win that can stay up for days, which doesn't benefit #s. Espcially right after CraterMA which is another huge map with small daily fights. I haven't seen below 30 past 4pm.

And we're still stuck on it.  This is one of the harder maps to reset, but if players leave FT/TT alone, fun  fights can still be had.  But it is very difficult to reset with lower numbers - it usually involves letting whichever side gets enough bases to continue rolling, if they leave FT/TT up.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Im not sure because I never logged in…

The map in this video was up Tuesday, not sure if that’s what was still up yesterday or not, doubtful.

High eny and maps like this recent island map kill the will to play. The #1 issue in the game today is filling up the MA. For the sake of the paying community I hope ENY gets addressed and maps that do not promot equal action between all 3 countries should be removed until further notice.

We should not be penalized when we show up and others do not. No one should be stuck in +20 eny planes all because they want to play with their friends while their enemies enjoy real life. Rooks have showed up this week. Most nights they end up with +25 eny for 2-3 hours right in the middle of primetime. It has been a shame to watch. It creates unbalanced fights for everyone. You end up up putting the high numbers in less quality planes while the other country rides low eny ubber planes and rack up easy kills left and right.

We should not be forced with 70% downtime of flight to and from action for 30% of action. Maps where everything is spread should be temporarily locked.

Let the maps roll. Reward those who show up by not working against them please. RESPECT THE COMMUNITIES TIME INVESTMENT.

 RESPECT THE COMMUNITIES TIME INVESTMENT.

Equal the numbers per side, equals no ENY

RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE AND EQUALISE THE SIDES RATHER THAN CRYING ABOUT ENY WHEN YOU ARE GANGBANGING THEM AND BEING A HYPOCRITE ABOUT YOUR TIME INVESTMENT.

I do

And when I do I shoot my friends down. That creates an issue you seldom had. Your speaking on things way above your pay grade.

Nobody is obligated to do what your suggesting but they are penalized if they don't. You don't offer a realistic solution that preserves the game where its at today. It actually breaks up da squads and groups who play together often. Good luck with all that.

You do? So why are you crying about ENY?

Don't be ridiculous, I've had to shoot friends down, people from; TheFew, TopGun, LCA, KN, Freebirds, C-Hawks, TheGFC, and a whole host of unaligned squadron-less friends.

They are penalised with good reason, gangbanging single cons with 10 people is the one of the fastest ways to cause someone to log off with crappy gameplay. The realistic solution is to equalise the numbers by switching sides and giving people a better chance of good gameplay via even odds.

Preserving the game as it is today as a gangfest of ENY cry babies that are too daft to switch sides and engage in friendly competition isn't going to help the game survive.
Rather than the mundane repetitive; horde base land repeat (that is the leading cause of AcesHigh burnout), start encouraging switching sides, engage each other in combat. Give yourselves some bloody gameplay.

And if they cannot take being shot down and it breaks up a squad, the bond of friendship was never strong anyway.
