I realise that of course the eny value is there to offset the numbers game, but this is getting rediculouse, i dont log on so I can spend all night trying to climb to the nme in a p47, and I dont log on so I can fly on a map that is boring, small, or badly designd.
Now Im not trying to offer a fix, because I didnt dig this hole, im just letting the community know that if this is the best we can do then somthing is seriously wrong. to many times have I upped to defend a beliegerd base only to be killed by some hot rod who has plane type on his side, we where within 14 players of the next largest team, and we lost several bases to the altitude game....its enough allready, as far as base taking we where very closs to the bish tonight, and myself and my squad logged off in the face of better planes, at high'r alttitudes...
La7's vs pre 1942 planes is not a good match, and frankly some of these maps arent worth changing rooms for...get it together!
:mad:

ENY sucks.
-
La'7's vs 1939 is good. I kill lalas in spit 1's all the time, and P-47 are great fighters. Just take off from a base close to the one being attacked at climb up above the enemy. Now YOU have the alt and the guns to kill em all :) .

ENY is great, it makes horde monkeys whine.:aok

Switch countries, problem solved.

ENY is a part of the game.Deal with it or CHEESE IT.

HTC has given you all the tools to fix the situation. change arena, change team, learn a new plane. There's 3 quick ones. It's not everyone elses fault that you are flying for the team with a large number advantage. Maybe you would prefer locking country numbers per arena, which would probably make your options even more limited. What idea's do you have to encourage some form of competition in the game? Or do you just want to have no penalty for already having the largest advantage in game, which is large numbers.

I can list about 15 planes above 15 that can pwn an La7.

Coincidentally, I do spend all night trying to climb to the nme in a P-47. As a result, I have no issues with ENY.
-
If ENY restrictions didn't exist, I'd be able to afford a lot more -4's.

I'm with Stoney,
My best tours were in the 47, maintained a 14 to 1 ratio for a while...

Most fun I've ever had was taking down late war planes with a Hurri MK I.

I do switch sides and such. My gripe with ENY is that it eats into my perking earning when flying 190A8.

I'm not going to offer one of the obvious solutions to this problem of yours, because it's not my fault. I will, however, say that if griping about ENY is the best you can do, then something is seriously wrong.

Try hopping in a G6, or G2. They are always available and great for climbing up to the alt monkeys
i like ENY

What do you want perks for? All they are good for is flying homo-erotic planes ;)

I do like flying them...

See my sig...
A Mossie at ENY 25 is an excellent attack and a fine fighter.
-
All my rides are above 20. Bf. 109 G14 and K4 are 20, and the G2 and F4 are 30. The Yak 9U is 20, as well as the Spit 9, which I fly occaisonally. I have no problem with ENY. Infact, I dont even start to realise theres an ENY until I see the whining on country channel.

Had a night of blessed reprieve, but back to the gripe at hand.
Now honestly folks, la7's spit 16's temp's are gona usualy kill p47's, c2's p40's and early model 38's, thats just it....
Personaly I prefer the FW-190d9, or ki84, and yes I fly perkies a whole heck of alot as well, {f4u4-temp} and I recall that night that the eny was way up, and I was jumped along with a couple of squaddies just over the water out of a22, by approx. 6 nme a/c, was stuck in some darn p47 midwar model, and was just outperformed.
Its kinda like ww2,and lets say... the Japanese, flying what ammounts to an early war plane for the duration {a6m} your fighting an uphill battle, playing with a stacked deck, etc. etc. and appart from how dangerouse that was then, NOW its just boring, frustrating, and to tell you the truth its not fair to those that prefer to fly away from the great green and red blob.
The fact that it {eny} affects primarily the best room at any given time only makes it less likly im gonna change teams {and the fact that no self respecting player would want to be a knit or bish anyway},...Oh yeah and why after working base captures and the like for two hours would I want to change into another room and start over again anyway?
Perhaps in fairness there should be a system were if the eny goes to some insane ammount, then beginning with the most recently logged on pilots on the offending team, eject with a quotation explaining that they need to go to the other room and party in there for a bit. whine or no there must be a way thats fair.
:aok

LOL learn a new plane... The KI61 is wonderfull at 15 K and will out turn an LA7, at least the ones that tried with me. I have no issues with ENY at all because the planes I love most are well below ENY usually other than the B-17 :( but I understand that as they are by far the most capable bomber.
Others in my squad have complaned about ENY but I see it as an obstical to over come rather than an (Aww CR** I quit button) . I say learn the lower end planes and over come the obstical that is in your way rather than just give up because you can't fly your uber plane

No, how about you and the rest of your horde monkey compatriots jump to the low side and even it up. If ya do like that, then suck it up and learn to fly high eny AC.

I bet you can't, if the LA7 driver doesn't want to die then he simply won't.

I upped a SPIT V last night. Hadnt upped one for so long now, had a blast in that thing. Gotta choose your fight a little more cautious, but was fun.
Still learning the YAK, another plane I dig. It again has its nuances that Im still dealing with. I try to maintain my speed, but Im so used to using WEP, that I must control my reactions. Either way it helps my uber doober ride the 16. Im actually getting alot better in the plane. But mostly Im a spit dweeb that drools on self. So screw it.:aok

dont really dig on hordes Bronk, but thx for the response all the same.

Only if they don't engage, has a boat load of E, or run after the first 2 merges.

which 90% of la's do.
anyway as an update ive decided you guys are right, so instead of joining the largest room, from now on ill join the small ones..eny seems more constant the worse the map is.:aok

I agree, just fly a spit 9, you can not only fly a plane eny of 20 and kill all the La7's you like, but you can be called a dweeb while doing it. It just doesn't get any better than that.

If you are flying a 190A8 then you have no need for perks.

La5 is a 20 eny plane. I kill La7's and p51d's in it quite often. Perkies are great in that plane.

I do when I want to fly 262s or other perked planes, and ENY cuts into the earning power of my 190A8.
To me ENY is like welfare. Another bad idea.

Heck, the K4 is one of the uberest planes in AH, --essentially an La7 with less view, but taters instead of 3 20's...and it has an eny of TWENTY....if your eny is past THAT you deserve to die in whatevr P.O.S. is left over
