They called it "Omni" back then.

I never installed any mods cause I read somewhere you couldn't play online if you had mods installed. What is this BAT thing you speak of?

BAT is the most robust mod for 1946. Adds an f-ton of planes, missions, graphics, etc. google “BAT Mod IL2-1946. It’s the most comparable thing to AH for free if you own 46. Check out the YouTube page for an old AH player. His videos will walk you through the mod install and he has really good 1946 videos almost weekly. Tried to get him to join the MOTA but he said his AH days were over. Would be cool if we could get him back his videos are really good.



This video was for the last mod before the most recent update. I assume the install would be the same. I haven’t reinstalled it yet.

Cool. Thanks for the video. I skipped around a bit so I didn't get the details on what exactly was new other then he seemed very impressed with the ships lolz.

I need to get back to it but I've been too busy with other games lately.

That’s not the video for the most up to date BAT mod. It was updated a few morbid ago. The video above was to install the previous version.

How is AH "not fair"? You can fly whatever plane you want

Does all the allowed "modding" eventually result in hacking?

When you help make sides fair....

How those numbers working as of late?
Are the sides Balanced?
Is ENY working?

It sure helped me loose interest in the game, I stopped playing, and finally canceled my subscription.

One less player in the game, Hope that helped balance things out for ya.

Still doesn't change the fact that with ENY You cannot "fly whatever plane you want".

Yes ENY works, as the Knights were logging off ENY kept climbing for us Bish making it harder and harder to get enough ord on target to get our bases back.

What I would like to see.....

Is the ENY tables reworked for the planes/GVs. Some of those numbers are pretty wonky both in earning and using.

ENY reworked so you can use PERKs to buy those planes being hit by ENY up to 10%. Anything over you have full ENY hits like we have now.

PERKs reset every tour. This way if you want to use PERKS first you have to earn them. I would think the "war won" PERKs would become more valuable making players stick it out longer to get them. Also you may see a better variety of planes being used as people try to earn PERKs quicker but using something other than late war monsters. Speaking of late war monsters, youd see less temps and 262s in the air. No more players having 10s of thousands of PERKs in the bank being able to upset the balance in the game any time they wanted.

Just a thought.

We have been rehashing this old BS since ENY was put in place 2 decades ago.

We all know that there are limits to side changing, especially if you're flying with your squad and/or friends, even the Auto Changer doesn't take that into account. Be nice if it could move you as a group but it doesn't.

I would fly FSO and then drop into the MA with Drano and J0ker. We would be able to fly for about 15-20 minutes until most of (Sometimes even all of) the F4Us and P38s got locked out by ENY. We would change side and 15-30 minutes later the same problem would rear it's ugly head, Planes would get locked out due to side balance. Can't change sides again due to the lock out and with auto changer there was no way we could stay together. At most I would stay in for an hour maybe two before rage quitting and firing up DCS, IL2, or even Fallout 4.

Just uncapping side swaps or making the timer more reasonable like 1 change per half hour probably would have fixed this mess, but way to many people cried about Spying and CV manipulation. Meanwhile some shmuck is live steaming the map from his shade account to YouTube for his friends.

Sorry not worth $14.99/month so instead of changing sides, I just changed games!

I only subscribed for 2 years in the 2010s (Flown more in the 2000s and 2020s), so not playing for that 8 years saved me $ 1,439.04 (8*12*14.99) that savings paid for all my DCS modules all My IL2 games and even left with with enough money left over to buy a custom 3 axis trim controller and custom F-18 UFC.

ENY has been a contributing factor every time I left and stopped subscribing. I bet ENY has chased away more customers than even good old Jon Ray ever could.

ENY sucks, Aces High has been bleeding customers for well over a decade and even mandatory quarantines didn't really help. It can't draw in new players while crapo mechanics like ENY are driving away existing customers/players while the remaining customer still complain about side imbalances that ENY didn't fix.

Enjoy!

Playing the devil's advocate fore a moment: You can only change sides every six hours, and ENY is swinging wildly these days.

ENY wasn't supposed to even the sides by numbers. It was meant as an incentive to switch, but hardly anyone expected to balance the plain numbers. It's a handicap for the side with too many players.
