I know that if one side gets a large number of players the ENY kicks in and prevenst them from flying the hotter planes, BUT sometimes it almost prevents them from flying fighters for the most part.
Why can't it be changed so that all the planes get perked and as the pop goes up so does the points for flying them. IF one side is totally out numbered the perk cost go down to 0.
Don't know if its been brought up before or not.

Or you could just change countries? It's alot less work on the folks in Grapevine and very simple on your end.

S!
or just get rid of ENY :)

Just get rid of ENY :aok

Ahh... I can tell by the whine that ENY is having the desired effect.

I'm not whining. Just read another post where a player wasn't able to fly with his squad. We've had a few times where some of us couldn't up in fighters to escort bombers because of the ENY.
Besides if they perked all the late war planes players would be abit suicidal. I hate it when I see an enemy fighter come screaming in through all the fighter CAPs just to vulch a plane taking off or landing at an AF.

If your side reaches ENY 30 and more, your numerical advantage is already ridiculous.
And a big NO to both having overwhelming numbers AND La7, Tempest & F4U-C at the same time.
Learn to fly the "crappy" planes, you might be surprised how much performance you can squeeze out of a ENY 30 plane...

There is always a fighter you can up unless flight is disabled for your country - which means you've basically been playing with yourself anyway ;)

To fly what you want is simple.
A. change sides
B. change arena

Lusche, I do fly the crappy planes [190 A8, P-40, etc.] the majority of the time. I just get sick of flying against the hordes of late model planes.
-
Bronk, thats what we usaully end up doing most of the time but when we fly in Mid war its a pain in the butt do to the low numbers in there.

If eny is kicking in, then I find it difficult to believe that you'd be flying into the "horde".
Edit: ohh and a quick check of score shows you do not fly those claimed AC. In LW anyway.
-
but the numbers change some times and all of a sudden the eny prevents you from flying what your squad needs {such as a long range fighter for escort}.

Except for this tour where you have more kills in a tempest than any other plane. :aok

So what. Do you fly ALL the planes? I get a hankering to fly a particular plane for a week or so and fly it. I guess next your gonna start branding me a Rook or a Bishop? Even though I fly for whatever side is the underdog.
If the upper planes were perked more than they are now and the ones that aren't, maybe we would see more players flying the "Crappy" planes.
Then again it just amazes me how someone can come in and make a simple suggestion to improve the game and those that don't like it simply start flaming away at them instead of talking about it.

Tango you were caught BSing, don't add insult to injury by now claiming victim status.

or just learn to fly the older "junk" fighters? there's plenty of you guys out there that can kick butt in the older ones, even when outnumbered and outclassed by the newer ones...

You call my post a flame? :cry Geez, need a tissue?
If you fly for whatever side is the under dog, then you have no issue w/ ENY. Get your story straight before you try to play the angelic martyr, Pinocchio

Umm, look at ALL the tours I've flown and it will show I do fly them. Probably a better mix up of what most fly in here. I guess the fact that I fly the 190 A8 makes it an uber plane?
Tour 92 was when I had alot more time to fly.

Never said I had a problem with it. I see others that do and sometimes it effects our missions when we hook up with other squads for large realistic ops.
But most players in game don't want to see realistic missions in game. they would rather see the things stay the way they are.

Missions are cool...why not your squad to the low side and run missions from there? I know this may pose a logistical challenge(moving several people) but it can be done and the weaker side would be glad for the help.

We do that when we can. We prefer the mid war setup but because the numbers are low we ususally have to have the bomber pilots back out so the escorts can get thier fighters [38s, 51s, or 47s] and then the bombers come back in. IF a fighter pilot comes in after the mission has started hes out of luck.
As for my suggestion, its not about me or my sqaud. I don't understand why the ENY system is the way it is now. It would however make more sense to see the upper planes become perked or increase in perk value [like the 262 is] when the numbers become imbalanced. That way sqauds don't have to be split up between 2 rooms.
For example a late fighter jock comes in and can't get a long range fighter to hook up with the group because the sqauds that joined the mission bumped up the numbers for that side. He may be stuck flying a P-40 which doesn't have the range as the 51s or 47s do.

Bronk, this is my last reply to you since you apparently didn't look at my Tour 92 stats. I think it shows pretty much that I DO fly the older planes more than the newer ones.
