Simple.

Anyone can gang up.  Take a large group and pit them against a small group, that's about as No Brainer as you can get.

Stick in a third country, and you might want to gang on one side, but some one else is coming for your back.

Keeps you honest.

There are only 2 sides.

The red side and the green side.

Because back when you were in diapers, the great gods of AirWarrior stated that there will be Az, Bz, and Cz.

"One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.
  Two can be as bad as one
  It's the loneliest number since the number one."

The team selection was made on a whim..... a tootsie pop was used, they found it takes 3 licks to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop.

Tootsie pops don't lie!

But if the ENY is used to keep a side with the high numbers from launching then it should work with only two sides as well, shouldn't it?

the teams should be based on nations. for example, usa can only fly usa planes, british, can only fly british planes. so on and so on.

Sorry for nerding this up guys...

But in chess there are King and Queens (not a good name for teams)
Then there are Bishops, Knights, and Rooks
And lastly for the standard chess piece is the Pawn. (could be added)

Therefore, we could have up to 6 teams, I guess HTC thought only 3 were "logical".

3 sides allows for a greater variety of numerical imbalances. If there were just 2 sides, there could be only one horde. Now, we can have 2 hordes, and still have one side completely overwhelmed, thereby suiting a full 2/3 to 3/4 of the players online at once, instead of a mere 1/2 to 2/3 of them.

That would be better. I just get tired of fighting 47s against 47s etc.

You have 3 teams because you have the Knights and then you have the herd (Bishops and Rooks) It has always been this way because it works the best.

Even in AW you had the Bz and then the Herd (Az & Cz) All newbies that pressed the "Fly" button for the first time, automatically became Az. They were the cream of the herd. Once they learned how to fly a little better they realized they were flying with the herd and they switched sides to BZ. Once they got really good at flying they switched again. This time to Cz, and became known as traitors. Thats right, traitors to the Az herd and traitors to the Bz. This setup an excellent rivalry that continues today.

Yes, 3 teams are definitely the way to go. Everyone can take a turn beating up on the other two. Sometimes the Herd still bands together and attacks the Knights. That is when the flying gets a lot of fun and images of the herd on a rampage fill my mind now as they did long ago.
Long live the Knights and the Herd!
