Thanks Fugi! My suggestions were only for the sake of argument and to throw some ideas out there to see what sticks.  Truth be told, I too have no problem with ENY as I prefer the P47s and P38 lines just for this very reason. My main playing style is in attack mode but if I was a pure dogfight guy, I feel like there are plenty of Spitfires in the line up to be effective in the air to air role as well.  :salute

Once you forget about the idea of rtbing it's a much better game imo..

Landing is the exception not the goal..

Or just don't let the players decide at all. The game will put you on the side with lowest numbers at login automatically.

ENY is 100% a problem caused by the players and history has shown that they are unwilling to fix this. So now let the game control it seeing as how players are more concerned with country loyalty than the health of the game. You reap what you sow  :salute

No thanks.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

One you aren't in or at least on your way to participate in.

One of my wife's cats is also a useless furball.

I understand how ENY works and stuff from reading about it ad nauseam. But what the hell do the letters ENY stand for?

 I guess it rarely affects the FM2 and Brewster as I've never noticed it in action.

Sounds like tower lurkers have an effect on it. About a month ago I logged on at 22:00 PAC time only to see 11 people in the main arena. I figured there'd be a couple skirmishes I could make myself a target for but nope, nothing. The text buffer was blank and not a sole was in the air as far as I could tell. There was a person who frequently posts here in the arena and I hailed him a bunch of times in hopes he'd want to shoot me down and whatnot. He never replied and the text buffer remained silent. The only action was Dale's voice telling me my base was under attack. It wasn't.

As far as I can tell, based on that night, people forget to log off and they become tower lurkers.

I've seen other nights close to that. I saw a couple of nights where Yarbles was the only one in the air. I hailed him but he'd perhaps fallen asleep or didn't monitor 200.

I need to move east in order to be able to participate more during prime time.

Indeed it is. I enjoyed the entire state of Pennsylvania actually. Well, all the places on my meandering drive from Philadelphia to Pittsburg anyways. Beautiful with friendly folks at every stop.....I stopped a bunch.
