Title: B17s limited too?
Post by: Alpo on August 16, 2004, 10:13:54 AM
Was this intentional in the new ENY "balancing" system?  I can't believe that bombers of any sort should be included as a "Deny this ride and it will be a balanced arena" solution.

Everyone says that buffs are just chew toys anyway IF you are smart enough to attack them correctly.  Plus, it's not like the  major buff killers are unavailable to the other side.

As far as the ENY balancer, I'm waiting to see how it develops.  I'm just against the bombers being included.

Why balance the buffs?

No one flys the damn things anyway.

*shurgs*

Leaving them out of the restriction may make the game more interesting.

Imagine rook pilots launching massive B-17 raids if they cannot fly P-51s.

I know, thats a HUGE leap to make.

I love massive bomber missions.

If I couldnt fly a plane I wanted to fly and there was a buff mission up. I'd join it.

Well, almost no one ;)  Needless to say, my squad was a little "excited" to find no B17s for our squad night Sunday.

They finally did free up later in the evening and we launched a couple of missions against the Bish in them.  But asking us to take Lancs or B26s when the other side is having a fire sale on Me262s makes ZERO sense no matter what the ENY rating on a B17 shows  :confused:
