Using Tour 25 as the base:
Using these aircraft as a control base:
P-38L: ENY 30 OBJ 10
P-47D-30: ENY 29 OBJ 10
Spitfire Mk Vb: ENY 30 OBJ 10
I feel that the following aircraft in AH are in particular need of having the ENY/OBJ scores adjusted:
A6M5b: ENY: 25 OBJ: 10 (ENY should probably be raised)
F4U-1: ENY 25 OBJ 25 (ENY should be raised, OBJ should be 10)
Fw190F-8: ENY 25 OBJ 10 (ENY should be raised)
Hurricane Mk IIc: ENY 25 OBJ 25 (ENY should be raised, OBJ should be 10)
Hurricane Mk IId: ENY 25 OBJ 25 (ENY should be raised, OBJ should be 10)
Ki-61-I-KAIc: ENY 18 OBJ 25 (ENY should be raised)
Mosquito Mk VI: ENY 25 OBJ 25 (ENY should be raised, OBJ should be 10)
P-47D-11: ENY 18 OBJ 10 (ENY should be raised)
The control group's Kills and Deaths in Tour 25:
The P-38L has 12328 kills and has been killed 14203 times.
The P-47-D30 has 5179 kills and has been killed 6973 times.
The Spitfire V has 13354 kills and has been killed 13280 times.
Now the group that seems to have ENY/OBJ values that are inconsistant with their usage/potency:
The A6M5b has 5419 kills and has been killed 7848 times.
The F4U-1 has 1353 kills and has been killed 1488 times.
The Fw 190F-8 has 714 kills and has been killed 1023 times.
The Hurricane IIC has 1951 kills and has been killed 1532 times.
The Hurricane IID has 247 kills and has been killed 680 times.
The Ki-61 has 1377 kills and has been killed 1088 times.
The Mosquito Mk VI has 2415 kills and has been killed 3902 times.
The P-47D-11 has 829 kills and has been killed 960 times.
The A6M5b is no more capable than the Spitfire V, even taking its carrier capability into consideration. It should probably have an ENY of 30 or 35.
The F4U-1 should probably be set to the same level as the P-38L, ENY 30, due to its capability in combat. It is made rarer by the fact that more modern versions are available. The F4U-1's OBJ should be set to 10. If the C.202's OBJ is 10, then so should just about everything else's.
The Fw190F-8 has the same ENY value as the Fw190A-8, ENY 25, but it lacks the armament options of the Fw190A-8. Its ground strik capability is better than most German aircraft, but still not stunning. I think the Fw190F-8's ENY should be 35.
The Hurricane Mk IIc is the Hurricane contempory of the Spitfire Mk Vb. As the Spitfire Mk Vb has an ENY of 30, I think that the reduced performance of the Hurricane Mk IIc should give it an ENY of 35-40. The Hurricane Mk IIc's OBJ value should be 10.
The Hurricane Mk IId is a specialty tool and is practically useless in air-to-air combat. Its low usage and performance figures should give it an ENY of 45-50. The Hurricane Mk IId's OBJ value should be set to 10.
The Ki-61-I-KAIc has an ENY value at the same level as the P-51D, Fw190D-9 and F4U-1D, ENY 18. Its usage and performance numbers do not come close to the numbers of those fighters. I think that the Ki-61-I-KAIc should have an ENY value of 40.
The Mosquito Mk VI is not as good a fighter or as good at ground attack as the P-38L, ENY 30, and is seen much less frequently. I think that the Mosquito Mk VI should have an ENY value of 35. The Mosquito Mk VI's OBJ value should be set to 10 as it is most definately not bad at ground attack.
The P-47D-11 also has an ENY value at the same level as the P-51D, Fw190D-9 and F4U-1D, ENY 18. Even the more modern P-47s have higher values than that, ENY 29 and ENY 31. I think that the P-47D-11's ENY value should be 35.
Please look at the ENY/OBJ values of these aircraft. The other aircraft are all, more or less, where they should be. These aircraft are seriously out of balance though.
Thanks.
