That is an interesting thought.

you would think most active players have enough perks that it wouldn't matter.

Maybe perks should age out.

I've always been a fan of perks resetting with every tour.

make perks reset monthly when the score does. then let people buy planes with perks during eny.

If everyone has millions of perks, like you said, they sorta cease to serve a purpose.

Except to put noobs at a greater disadvantage.

Thank you for replying Dale. I do understand that the game is the same for everybody, so in that sense it's fair. But the fundamental part of the unfairness is that you can't take equal planes up against other people unless you switch sides or something. And then I really don't want the advantage the other way around either.. do you know what I mean?

Like I don't want to be in a superior plane that is against somebody who has crappy planes either.

So thanks for your reply!

What about 1 person fighting many , isn't that the same type of issue?

Fair. And I basically understood where you were coming from. Just wanted to put it out for others who may be confused. I think quite a few folks agree that the AWACS needs to be addressed. Several initially liked the change and have reversed their opinions. It has run players off and it’s well documented here. I want those guys back. I want some of the magic to return to the MA.

On the ENY question…
I’ve always thought ENY should trigger perk usage instead of simply making planes unavailable. You want to fly that P-51 while your side has vastly superior numbers? Cool. That’ll be 15 perks. Any perks you use should be awarded to the player who killed you and should be inversely related to the aircraft ENY. Side note: I think it would also be amusing if the perks showed up in the kill message. “Dave just killed Bob and was awarded 15 perks”

Logic is not acceptable here sir!. Please stop.

Seriously though, I think LilMak has some good ideas.

Since an email is needed to sign in, maybe a survey could get sent out to all current and former players asking them what needs done for current players and what would bring back former players?

Let the mob rule? Lolz

By the way, the new guy that was playing last night and on our squad channel said he was 28 years old. He came from war thunder. He said that he saw a video of somebody playing the game and wanted to check it out.

Those videos are effective. Really effective if they're short Instagram, YouTube shorts and Facebook reels.

My top problem with ENY
When a country being gang bang by other two, yet have slightly more numbers than the other two, not only do they get gamg bang but hit with ENY too.

Not sure there is a way to calculate that scenario. But it makes me want to choke lil white bunny rabbits (in my head). No animals were harmed while posting this, yet.

So you’re saying my 3 hour movies don’t help? <kicks rock>

lol. People are hyper-scrollers. Stats show most people scroll before 3 seconds. Gotta grab  them fast and make it short.

Long videos have their place too. Just that the short ones that hit the 3-5 second algorithm get promoted and can go viral, or get thousands of views really quickly.


I do stuff for my band. Posted a 15 second video with no description the other day and it went over 1k views on youtube in about a few minutes - then it stalled at 1.5k or so after a day. The initial "scroll past" time kind of determines how they will suggest the video in people's feeds.

It's interesting how it all works. I like diving into the minutia of that stuff and learning how it all works these days.

Also - the percentage of the time people view the video matters. Like 40% of the video, or around that, it getting pretty good. So short helps that algorithm too.

Short clips that loop also do well because people replay them over and over - sometimes without knowing it at first.

Well look, they just need to grow the **** up.

I just don’t have time for short attention spans. <blank stare>

This is what Gina also brought up and it happens to me all the time. The other issue i run into all the time while on auto switch is I will be having a good fight and then get switched to the lower country that is actually just milk-running without opposition on a dead part of the map. I would really love to see lower switch times. Maybe we can spend a small amount of perks to switch earlier? Maybe those perks go into a pool that gets distributed to whoever wins the war? Im just spitballing.  In general, i like the idea of having perks be more consequential to more things in the game. Really glad to see progress regardless. <S>

maybe some check, like if there is a bunch of enemies in a fields dar ring, raise the eny for that field only. that way local fights stay a bit more fair.

id also like to see eny limited to not dropping lower than like 20 or so, but thats another discussion.
