Tour reset always late

[The Fugitive]

Apparently, the Knights who logged didn't have that much fun.   

Adjusting the ENY of troop carriers -- M-3, SdKfz 251, LVT(A2), and C-47 -- might slow down the hordes.  If ENY 27 had forced the Bish horde to use C-47s, it would have given the Knight 262s something to hunt.

We did have to use a goon, but it didnt slow us down much

And it effects them as it is suppose to.

I could see a few minor tweaks on some planes, and a way to take the "tower sitters" out of the ENY calculations with out bouncing them would help a lot, but a total revamp? I dont think so.

Thursday prime time Bish had 27 ENY. MDStampf and a half dozen of his crew upped 262s to try and stop us from taking their bases. Most of them logged about the time we took the second base. Sure it sucks not being able to fly you favorite planes for some players, but you can still fight the fight. Did we knock down a bunch of 262s, I dont think so but even under equipped we got the bases. I cant speak for everyone else, but I had fun.

 

No not totally or even much more than what seemed like a suggestion he regarded well, the 15 min inactivity the not counted post.

I wrote a long post last week about a system where ENY 5 sorties eventually need to be earned in a tiered structure. Probably not ever to happen but I still will always feel the MA really shouldn’t be majority late war all of the time.

This morning before the reset there were 4 Knights AFK overnight, for a short period it was just me, then AKCaine vs 8-14 Bish who weren’t restricted much. 6 Knights but only two playing…

Maybe everybody should just play bish in the mornings?

There is a threshold for ENY to start. Im not sure of the numbers, but if there is less than 25-30 (just checked, it looks like it is set at 29) players in the arena then ENY is off. Once the numbers climb past those then ENY will turn on and start to work. So with a low number situation, ENY is not even a factor and you can see how it works without ENY. Pretty much over whelming number WITH good equipment. Once ENY kicks in, like we had Thursday night its harder to fight, but with plenty of players to throw to the wolves in their 262s we could still advance our front.

If you’re saying 29 players have to be in the MA for the minimum ENY threshold to be met, I don’t believe it’s that many. I see it start to go in effect and increase regularly around 0700 EST w/about 4-6 Knights, 2-5 Rook and 8-10 Bish. On the high side that would be ~21 players. Often, at about 0900 there will be 15+ Bish, 3-6 Knights and 2-5 Rook. That’s when we see the B-24s stop and it’s Tu2s, B-26s and B-25s for quite awhile. It still only takes 2-3 sets of bombers and a couple Jabos to make it nearly impossible to stop rolling another base every 10-12 mins. Or just one M4 w/rockets and the base capped.

These are takin around noon on Sunday est.

It means no lancs for the Bish, but leaves B17, B24s, and Tus still available (20 ENY).

Also at this time Knights have captured a line of bases to the Bish HQ and have flatten it so Bish are without radar, so the game looks completely dead to any new player logging in as a Bish. Great selling point that is 

ENY is tricky, but necessary. Lower numbers seem to cause issues. But in todays layout it looks more like the Bish cant be bothered with organizing or defending. They are hardly "dominating" the map yet are the one under attack even though they are being hit with ENY. That is where the frustration comes in. On the other hand if the bish got it together like Finetime and the Knights are doing right now would ENY be a problem then?

ENY does what it is suppose to do. With our numbers advantage had we been able to up 262s as well they would have been too busy dodging our 262s to even slow the rest of the Bish down never mind stop us from taking the bases.  The advantage would have been so bad that the Knights would have logged faster than anyone who couldnt fly their favorite plane. So which is better?

That was a fun Night the 262 run was the ending of our night…. I lost mine but who cares its only perks and I had a blast. Ya can always find a good fight when the Sic Puppies are on

Correct but there will always be a fellow countryman who thinks he can choke the horde to death with endless easy kills. 

We need more cooperation from our own countriesto stop feeding the horde.
