I Hope to do a release Tusday.

Again, not like this is supposed to be some complaint fest thing..... And I know it's just all been said before and all that, however.....


The number one thing I think would make a difference right away would be that the eny should not kick in at all when numbers are low. What that number is I don't know. But if I had to throw a number out there I would say that e n y should not kick in until there are over 100 or more players online.

One thing that happens with really low numbers is that it's so easily manipulated as well. We've done that ourselves. Like we'll be on a base taking deal and suddenly you can't take a certain bomber or whatever. So a few of us will just log off. And it only takes like one or two people to do it. Just log off so that I can drop back down and they can grab their bombers. So it shouldn't be manipulated like that either.
The low numbers really throw it off

Again. I think applying a perk cost instead of outright locking people out of rides when ENY hits addresses most of your issues. Perks seem to work as intended for whatever reason.

Yeah, I don't like ENY or the idea behind it.

In my opinion, ENY doesn't change anything other than irritating people who can't fly what they want. The numbers don't change - or if anything, they DO change because the side with ENY will only deal with it for so long before they sit in the tower waiting for it to go away, or just logging off.

So all it seems to do is make people pissed that they can't compete on equal terms and have to fly crap planes so that some other people can have an easier time killing everyone.

I don't like that at all.

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.

You should ask him when you see him next what platform he saw it on and whose account it was.

Like I mentioned to another tribe, this should be handled in baby steps.
Make a tweak and observe the true reactions to it before making another.
I think it should be seen in low numbers and high numbers and find the honey spot that works in both.

Knee-jerk reaction milage will vary.

The willingness to make tweaks exist.

The new ENY setting has only been in play 2 days.
Several to many may be correct. But you need more observation to determine that.

HT:
“The low-population example may justify reviewing whether the existing thresholds are calibrated correctly, but it doesn’t show that ENY itself is fundamentally unfair or ineffective.”

I think I could safely assume HT has real-time scrolling line charts on MA population. They can be compared from day to day for an average. The longer it runs, the more accurate the average.

IMO, let the dust settle. Any flaws will stick out.

I think we all agree Dar and ENY (and auto-switch) are the top topics.

But just because a former player says that’s why they left does not mean they will return if it changes. I (any of us) could put another sim under the microscope and just shred it. Yet they play that one. So……

I saw some return last night just because there was an update, period.

If ENY is removed, most of the plane set will never see the light of day.  It will be all 1945 rides, just so you can have your 1945 ride.

So forcing people to fly those planes is better?

Push vs Pull. 

If he wants more variety, put those mid-war planes in a F2P set.

His response is like the callous nature response that you hear all the time."just so you can fly your 1945 plane"

Like dismissive of the whole argument that I've been making all along. And that others have too

It's not that I vainly want to only fly a plane selfishly that no one else can fly. Lol. The point is that every single night comes almost without exception, I log in to having eny. So I go up against people who are twice as good as me in planes that are much better than I am allowed to fly. And I'm supposed to enjoy flying an fm2 against La sevens and tempests and dying left and right until I finally log off pissed off that I can't even do anything at all. That's supposed to be fun for people


The si almost every night when I log on the eny kicks in with only maybe 10 people flying. Maybe 20 people flying. There's never some swarm of newbies that need to be having me in a toejam plane so they can shoot me down easily. The people that are on at the time of night are all super good. Better than I am. And I'm supposed to have fun flying a crappy plane against these guys?

The other callous thing that people say is oh well then why don't you switch sides then.

I don't even know what the statistics are for myself. I'm guessing that if you look up my statistics for last campaign that the plan I have been flying the most is the p-47d 40.

Anyway. I won't say anything further about it. Sorry for making a fuss

Eny is not an issue if you fly the g2 with gonds..I have never had an issue with it
.

You can kill 90% of what you run across while building perk points out the wahzoo..

I do like that plane. I like the ki and the jugs as well.

I mean, if we're being honest, most of the planeset already doesn't see the light of day, percentage wise.

[Animl-AW]

Everything can be talked around.

If you do not like something you most likely will not have a workable idea.  But this or but that. No idea is acceptable

Ya don’t want any compromise ya just want it gone.

I’m pretty psssed White Castle hamburger restaurants were not placed in refueling stations

The second you move the joystick or keyboard, you are no longer AFK.

So if I am in the air but AFK am I affecting ENY… as I should be of course?

Btw ran DX11 last night no issues. Four days in a row with no stutter is my longest so far after my last GPT tweaks.

Dale… am I able to turn off the extra friendly icon info for the map?
