I see all these guys crying about the ENY limiter, but you don't see anything about them outnumbering both the other teams put together. I say the limiter is not worth the time they took to create it. I mean sure, for a few minutes all the knits were crying because they couldn't up anything with an eny of less than like 35, but after just a few knits logged, they had 51D's and still way more numbers than everyone. I pay my $15 a month to have fun, and this is definately not my idea of fun, 100 vs 30 at 2AM. That's just part of it. All the things that go on that are just so unbelieveable, like hitting an M3 with an AP round and it not dying. Getting killed in a panzer by an LVT, which doesn't even carry AP rounds. Getting hit with bullets after a plane flies by. It's just too much bs. I'm seriously thinking about quitting. I don't expect anyone to care, but I don't really care what anyone thinks.

Threaten to quit.
Bad formating.
Good spelling.
Gives reasons.
I would rate this about 4 on a scale to 10, no insults, no multiple letters and nothing we dont know about yet.
He also mentions the 15 bucks like everyone, pretty lame.
One plus is he doesnt expect anyone to care, i would have expected hitech, pyro, god and the mighty US empire to care.
Play some more and give it another try with a serious whine, maybe take up some read from urchin... but you have to wait till next month there, he used up his whines per month this month.

The ENY limiter does not piss me off.
-
Is it stil on? I havent noticed it for a while...
-
I think the eny limiter is great, would like to have the variables fine tuned.
so for example have it kick in at min 100 total players.

Anyone else thinkin of the seagulls in Finding Nemo?

hehe,,,just left MA,,,,70+ Nits grabbin real estate
20 or so Bish and 30 or so Rooks earnin a ton 'o perkies, FUN :D

What makes me just *yawn* when I read threads like this is that the people who whine about it are the ones who dont dare to swich sides for the night and fly on the out numbered side.
I know there are tons of excuses people use to not swich over for the night, like "squad is ".
But hey if you dont like the 100vs30 fights and dont like flying lower ENY planes just hop over to the other side for the rest of the night. It will solve BOTH the issues. Then after you have slept and log in the next time swich back.

The ENY can save you from flying the 483 point 262s I saw last night.

YOU should be in bed at 2am!
Here's a lil tidbit of advice for you.
Ifluff'n its 2am, and it SUCKs because its 100vs 20!
Log Off! haha
Its 2am, go to bed, wake up, all better. :D
-
It's no solution TexMurphy because it's boring as hell to fly 100 vs 30 if youre in the horde. It's 100% about cherrypicking 'who gets to shoot the lone enemy first.'
Then on the opposing side it's all about 'try to dodge all the 15 ponies,spittys,tiffys,n1ks etc. diving on you and get wasted by the a6m that saddles up on you as a direct result.'
In the end nobody really has fun because there are no fights, only cherrypickers and victims.

You dont have to worry about ponies, spits, tiffys, nikkies or lalas when the ENY limmiter has kicked in.
You fight a hoard of 205s, P40s, Hurries, Zekkes and at the worst Yaks.
Which is quite nice when you come in high in a Spit9 or a Pony.

BTW this is why God invented the Tempests and the 262.

Did God invent the Tempest? I thought it was Sir Sidney Camm. And I have documentation that the 262 was given to Messerschmitt in a dream by the Devil.

But wasn't the whine about the limiter cutting off too early leaving the above option open?

That is still to be decided.
I think it will all be cleared up on 60 minutes tonight.
Topic:
The ENY.
Who does it really affect?
Who does it hurt?
Who does it help?
Who does it do nothing for?
What it really does and those who whine about it.

In addition we will be changing the minimum total players before the ENY becomes active from 140 to 200.

The premise of the orginal post is total BS.
The arena total MUST reach at least 200 players before ENY will kick in (<--- This is for Schutt too). From what I have read in this thread, the arena did attain the numbers that some have alluded to so the ENY couldn't have been in effect.
If ENY was in effect then the number brought forth were meant to be mis-leading inorder to make a point. Best to do some research and get your numbers correct to make your point.
Also ... 100 vs 30 across a front ... please ... that sounds like fun to me. Even if all 100 met all 30 it would still be fun.

well the rooks had the numbers, looks like it went to the knights for now, dont get your pantys in a bunch, bish is next. Seems to alternate every few months.

Well, we do know god twittle'd up badly when he created you. :)

Last time I checked, we had the option to choose which country to fly for. ENY limiter is only a problem if you insist on staying with the horde. Instead of crying on 200 or on the BBS that your "Uber Historical La7 Only" squad can't fly its plane of choice, switch to one of the low numbered sides.
-
Thanks Morph, ya dweeb. Thanks to you my Windex and paper towel bill now exceeds the monthly price of AH. :lol

A paltry 100 vs 30 thats nothing.. should have been here about 2 years ago when it was 150 (knits) + 150-infinity (jokes on you bish) vs 50 (rook die hard vets)
consider it training.. and lackluster at that with only a 70 person advantage.....
(give you a hint.. dont engage the furball or the base they are attacking.. engage their climbout to jabo your bases and be way ahead..) (ive watched entire attacks against rook bases be thwarted by a 2-3 g10's (insert favorite aircraft but g10- accels at this)blasting everything trying to climbout and efighting them when they finally got smart and engaged the g10's) (end result their jabo comes in lower and your defense gets a better crack at them..) (you must adapt your tactics to guerilla war when outnumbered so dont fight them head to head... fight unfair and keep them offbalance..)
good day...

Lol think of poor guy in his Tigger I killed with an Osty!
Granted, had the same with M3s myself, in fact can go one better - hit an M3 3 times as he drove right to left past me at <600 and ALL 3 rounds bounced!

Big fat GRIN!!!! Much better!
Love the Nose Art!!!!!
LOL just saw the pilot name and tail hehehehe.

All I have to say is when eny limiter gets higher, jump into a Yak. Very little difference between that and a 51 besides ammo load. And at all alt ranges below 20k 51 only wins speed contest by a small margin. I think some of you guys would be pleasantly surprised by it. It seems much more nimble than the 51 also. Just my opinion:D
-
lol. I didn't even notice the FAA badges when I posted the first one. Was going to post a better shot, but nopoop beat me to it.

Sorry Jackal, kinda new and still don't know everything about all the aircraft. What I've heard from other players and have compared at Netaces.org, they seemed simular. Maybe you could give me a better understanding of the differences? Thanks.
Also, thanks for the insult. I know there's been a lot of bad blood between us that warranted that:rolleyes:
-
Nice poop,
I got my new desktop!!! :D
What do ya mean you didn't get the 20 bucks. I gave it to Slap, he said he was taking care of it!!:D

Here is an acceleration chart from Netaces for 5 K alt in seconds.

That is just one aspect. There is the size, the vertical and loop aspect, etc, etc. You drop the Yak from above to the deck and VOSS can outrun the fastest scorpion in it. :D It is also very manueverable.
Also, thanks for the insult. I know there's been a lot of bad blood between us that warranted that
Hmmmm....gonna have to say you lost me on this one. You used to fly under another ID or what? I don`t remember any "bad blood".
Wasn`t meant as an insult bud. It was meant as a joke. Ya know? Funny haha. That sort of thingy.
-
Since I have never chimed in on this issue I will now grace all of you with my opinion.....
It Sucks when you cant fly the bird you want to. However the benefits of ENY far outweigh any detractors (i.e. not flying the bird you want to).
Long live ENY
-
Good info Jackal, thanks. As for the bad blood comment, I was being funny too:D I took your crack comment as a shot at me and thought it was strange that you were being so offensive about my post. I couldn't understand why you would say something like that other than you must not like me lol. But it was my misunderstanding and I have nuthin against ya, sorry for any confusion.

One could sit forever calculating the possibilities on this quadry. More or less the mouse jumped the trap and all was lost for a time.
Who knows, the cheese wasn't that dry.
Just one to run before the snake arrives! :) But it was good nevertheless!

It was funny last night to hear some whines about not being able to fly some of the late war planes. Especially from the side that had almost 90 players compared to the 30 and 35 of the other two countries.
I do have to admit enjoying being a Bishop so far. ME262's grow on trees over here.

AKAK, you are probably just seeing the leftovers from my last few jet flights. I know it looks like blooms, but is actualy wing , tail and fuselage parts. Zoom in and look a little closer.

You got that right, after me it was all downhill. Nothing left to attain. No new heights to soar to. That's the problem, when you attain the optimum outcome.

It was created the day after the first P51 bounced a P38 that was winging with 2 109s and an La7. If you're looking for historical accuracy, you're definately playing the wrong game.
