I have flown in the mornings before work here and there.  No limiter effect is on during this time for the low numbers, and guess what?   Yep, it is pure gangbang city.

I've got a better idea. Let's just have the ENY thing only active  on Sundays, that is the REAL reason it exists in the first place. Let's all be honest.

What would be the side effects of lowering the side switch lock time down to say....two hours? How about one hour?

Alot of posters seem to be hung up on the lock time after switching sides being so long. It used to be twelve hours. I think it's six hours now. Would more people switch sides if they new they could switch again after a couple hours or so?

I'm not one that "games the game" so it wouldn't matter to me that someone could switch sides with impunity but if the lock time was lowered would that help people keep the sides evened up and planes available without causing some new weird game play?

back in 2000 i think it was... Not sure anymore. The side switching time was around 1 hour i beleive. I think it was version .48? or .47?

Anyways... There would be too much whinning aobut spies and who is looking at whos CV's.

I've got an even better idea Zazen. Lets get rid of it completely. Just for testing purposes.

I would be very curious to see what happens. Its already there. All they'd have to do is just raise the numbers thing so it wouldnt ever kick in.

Zazen13,

You are spot on!  that is one of the things i have been SOOOOOOO infatic about it's ONLY a Sunday problem that would have corrected itself naturally as Fall and winter set in.  Absolutely no reason to have tinkered.  Since the did then fine but let's back off a bit.

Limiter on at 350 should be tested.  When limiter is on Perk planes do NOT get cheaper and cheaper, they get capped.  Field/plane hardness...well that does nothing but make me angry!!

Point here...I am here to fly the P-51D.  It needs to be available MOST of the time.  I fly from 10-Midnight EDT.  No....I don't want to learn or fly something else.  No...I don't fly German crap or Jap junk.  I fly american.  Some Navy is fun when I need to soak my feet.  B model doesn't fit my needs.  Make it a "C" with Malcom hood and we'll talk.  Change countries?  NFW  I'll change Sims err....Games first.

I wonder.

What will numbers be like when the summer is over and people return from the nice weather out side to their PC's inside.

A big part of me hopes that the lack of numbers now in the MA is due to the time of year it is. Its the reason I dont play all that much now. But I can remember is summers past, nice or not out side, I would be in the MA fighting and having fun. I wonder what has kept many from logging in this summer.

At times, when you'd log in you could find 500+ players in the MA. Its no longer like that. I wonder why that is.

Make ya wish folks would do a little reading once in a while doesn't it? :)

For all those gotta have my D model Mustang types, remember it  was the airwar over Europe prior to D-Day that really made the difference and there weren't any D's in that part of it.  It was the Jug pilots, the 38 drivers and the B/C model Mustang drivers sticking their necks out over Germany at the time.  The very first D-5 model Mustangs were arriving in small numbers at the very end of May 44.

So get in a B and quit whining that you don't have a Mustang to fly :)

Arlo, Get outta my thread, please!  NO ONE has ever ever said it picks on the Rooks alone or that it's solely a Rook problem, and you know that!  However the whinning started from the Sunday night RJO's and the almost weekly resets made worse when HTC stopped the "Fuel Porking" for all Countries.

simshell, Well uhhh Duh!!!  That's because we are the ones MOST affected by the recent changes.  If you don't have a country alliegance and aren't a member of a squad  with a particular plane or mission.....!  See what I'm saying?  Those of us that are and have are just trying to find a way to live here too.  As points arise they should be tabled here.  That's what it's for.  Those actual arena numbers are very pertinent!  People need to see the Eny limiter at both ends of the spectrum.  Understand, you are under no contract to read stuff you consider "drivel".  If you consider this  drivel and you aren't affected by the past changes or aren't affected by my/our mod suggestions then move along please!

I do thank both you and arlo for the "punt".  It helps keep this thread near the top where interested parties might read it.

All!

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Here's my thought.

Throw the 2 week experiment in the circular file.

..for a 2 week experiment.

I fly to fight, just to fight. I don't care about the war that never ends, I don't care if I get perks and majority of time I don't care if I live. I just want to play.

The fact is, the reset the map war guys drive the dynamics of the game. They are the engine like it or not.

The passion in which they do that is in some ways what makes this game "go".

If the tools for their enjoyment are taken away ?? I will submit in the long run the game suffers.

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay

That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Can't ya hear them sayin'
Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
I'm goin' home, see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere

(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they're sayin', mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty

My work is so hard

You make the mistake of assumming we somehow care about a war that ended almost 60 years ago.

I for one don't.  It's tivia, but nothing more.  WW2 has no effect on why I choose the ride I choose.

ok .... Its time  ... Blue oyster Cult  (Me 262 song )

Goering’s on the phone from freiburg
Says willie’s done quite a job
Hitler’s on the phone from berlin
Says I’m gonna make you a star

My captain von ondine is your next patrol
A flight of english bombers across the canal
After twelve they’ll all be here
I think you know the job

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

In a g-load disaster from the rate of climb
Sometimes I’d faint and be lost to our side
But there’s no reward for failure - but death
So watch me in mirrors keep in the glidepath

Get me through these radars, no, I cannot fail
While my great silver slugs are eager to feed
I can’t fail - no, not now
When twenty five bombers wait ripe

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

Me-262 prince of turbojet
Junker’s jumo 004
Blasts from clustered r4m quartets in my snout
And see these english planes go burn

Well, you be my witness, how red were the skies
When the fortresses flew for the very last time
It was dark over westphalia
In april of ’45

They hung there dependant from the sky
Like some heavy metal fruit
These bombers are ripe and ready to tilt
Must these englishmen live that I might die
Must they live that I might die

Must these englishmen live that I might die...junker’s jommo 004

Bombers at 12 o’clock high


Muhahahahaa :D

So it doesn't apply to you then does it :)

You just wanna go really really fast whenever you want.  That's fine.  Lots of planes do it too.

Why choose just the 51D?

The 339th guys in particular have used the 'the 339th flew it during the war' argument , often

"Why choose just the 51D? "

I don't care about performance.   I don't really care for how it flies in AH.  If I was choosing a plane for perforance, I'd probably choose a Spit 9 or N1K2.  If I wanted speed I'd go with an LA7 which is, lets face it, a much better plane for the MA.

I pick it because I_like_it; because that is what Ive always picked in these online flightsims; because it's part of my flightsim identity.  Getting kills in anything else is meaningless for me.

Just keep the post to flight ratio in check to avoid the hypocricy, man. :)

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never need it
One headline why believe it ?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world


Tears for fears ...

People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe.

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me
But it's o-only make believe.

My hopes, my dreams come true, my life I'd give for you,
My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything.
My heart I can't control, you rule my very soul,
My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me
But it's o-only make believe.

My one and only prayer, is that some day you'll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My prayer, my hope, and my schemes, you are my every dream
But it's o-only make believe (http://jollyrogers.info/VF17/ItsOnlyMakeBelieve.wav)

Perhaps, but I have no problems shooting down Lgay7s with proficient alacrity without having ever flown one however. I will only wallow in the muddy quagmire of dweebdom to a certain degree. I draw the line at the Lgay7.

BINGO!!!!!!!! Poopie is once again right! Those of us that came from WBs saw what happened over there. First it was the RPS then the WWIIA and then tonage on target.

Everytime they added something it was to make a couple of very vocal whiners happy. And each time they tried a "fix" more people left the game because there choices became limited.

 Drac and I started the 339th to fly 51Ds, we found about 25 like minded fellows and we were happy.  Then came ENY, ply and myself already cancelled our acounts and several other members are thinking about switching to that other game.

You throw in the 412th and and countless other people that lonewolf in the 51D you start lose a large amount of paying costumers.

You can scream so what, change countrys or fly the B model! Well we pay our 15 dollars a month just like you, we should be able to fly what we want and for who we want.

When  you limit choices its never good.

I think it would be a fun and funny experiment to turn the ENY limiter on it's head and see if limiting the early war planes would even get noticed. If not .... just yank them. How many "I'm gonna quit because I can't fly ANY plane ANYtime I want!" arguments would you hear then? Probably about as many as they heard in warbirds from early war plane fans that were forced to put up with the rps forcing them out of their rides. :D

Good to see you feeling justified about it all now, zaz. :aok

Hehe ....

BTW .... you still don't seem too eager to try just flipping the switch off to see what comes of it nor do you seem able to come up with an alternative if that, for some reason, doesn't work out.

C'mon give us something that further justifies that endless hours in a virtual ostie or cruising at 30k virtual feet gave you greater insight about HT's business practices.

If it's even halfway good, I'll back you  ... even if you wouldn't know how to appreciate it. :D

I'm all for flipping the switch, I'm not sure how you got the impression I'm not. As for alternative suggestions, I have many which I submit to HTC directly, to avoid the Anti-Zazen bias on these forums. ;)
