I'd rather see it be made easier to join the team thats currently 'in the hole'.  Something such as the 'team switch' timer being disabled if you are switching to a team with a high perk mod.

HT - is this do-able?

I normally fly with country GangBang, and I see my country has 400 people, and country NoNads has 18 people, and Country WhinesAlot has 180.

So I switch sides to go fly for NoNads, and sure enough within one hour we get our Nads Reset.

If I could have the option to immediately return to country GangBang or WhinesAlot - that would be great.

WAAAAAAAH! life is not fair WAAAAAAH! I want everything to be Fair and even WAAAAAH!:rofl

Life isn't fair, or even, or anything remotly like it.  Was it fair to put these 10 hour wonders in the air during WWI(both sides) only to get chopped up in the meatgrinder over the trenches?  No!  I don't see any difference now as then.  The only difference I see is that NOOB doesn't really get killed while SuperAce just gets perkies and a better K/D ratio.

NOOB will learn, eventually.   After all there will be more NOOBs to replace him when he graduates to adequate pilot.

(lay off the  "WAAAH" BS guys... ya sound like a bunch of 10yr olds)

Ok now for something CONSTRUCTIVE...

I kinda like the idea of adding AI drones to even up the numbers, or perhaps routing the lone-wolf types to whatever country has the lowest numbers as they log on.  It "seem's" to me that your average lone-wolf wouldn't care, and you could even give them the option of switching countries once (as usual) once they arrive (just in case they REALLY must fly a certain chess peice).  If I'm even remotely right in my guess about the attitude of lone wolfs as to what country they fly... it might work, even if only a little.

(and for you guys that switch at every opportunity to have a numerical advantage?... well, ya still get your one shot every however many hours between switches is already allowed).

Fair?

 I don't think that's too bad, but I have a strong feeling other people are not going to like that.


Ah socialism at its best.
