Why is it I have an ENY of 10 consistently as a Bishop and Rooks have the same, whereas the Knights never have ENY? What is it that drives people to not want to fly for the Knights? I have tried to get my squad to go Knight so ENY isnt a problem and none of them want too. Is it the players that drive people away? Is it cuties? Why oh why are Knights so unpopular?
I feel no loyalty to any country and would gladly go knight to evade the sometimes 30+ bish ENY block.

I have noticed the sheep are considerably better looking than bishop or rook sheep...I just don't err....swing that way :lol

Cuties shouldn't be keeping anyone away. COOTIES, however, that's another matter.
:D

funny, I started flying bish more because of the nits having ENY alot. Today is first time I remember having ENY issue while flying bish.

I dont think TxMom keeps anyone away :D

I think Nits have the lowest chance of getting ENY for some reason...but theres plenty of factors.
-
I think it really depends on what you like doing, I have played on all 3 sides and what made me stay bish was the organization. Rooks for the most part (and i don't know how it is now) were really unorganized and I really got tired of being told what to do and listening to the power struggle amongst some of there Arm Chair Generals. And I have friends that are still Rooks and by there complaints it hasn't changed, and knight's though smaller groups and there are some great guys and gals that or knights I think they got a bad rap years ago and that just kind of follows them around now. But I have some friends that are knights and I go fly with them from time to time and we have a good time, but at the end of the day I always come back to the Bishops.

You mean Cooties?
I left Rooks because of a few people who are given full monty to act like love muffines in front of the hypocritical "moral majority". I rarely fly Knight (and would love too), but ROX has pretty much used my last nerve.

Yeah Mash the damage inc boys get me peeved every time I encounter them.

The VF-6 will be knit in August. We will be their token cheat ppl. I can't wait to hear the whines about cheating and no 6 calls. It will help beat the Texas heat.

We just rotated through all 3 countries; Nits did have a paranoid/conspiracy vibe. It was either the rooks and bish have an agreement to not attack each other, spies or the game is slanted against Nits. Was disappointed we weren't accused of being cheaters.

Actually I have to partially agree with this statement. The problem lies with a couple of nit squads not the nits as a whole though.

Actually I should have said that exactly, it was coming from a couple squads that were very vocal about it
-
Nits are a nice bunch , with few or no organization at all, so far no missions to join. some squads doing their stuff together without the rest though.
Maybe knights have higher percentage or fighter pilots than buffer than the rest ?
Loose Deuce squad has also rotated through all countries, currently with nits.

They only have a higher percentage of paranoiacs. Everything else is the same.

Dont just primarily fly 5 ENY birds and you won't have this problem. Problem fixed.
:aok
-
I am not sure why Nits have such a bad rap, personally I have had many private messages from Nit players after encounters either complimenting myself, or just plain ole slap happy, fun messages. However I have had some pretty foul private PM's from Rooks on occassions, which makes me think they are all a grumpy lot. What Nits lack in Organization, they make up for it in good game play and spirit. Being a Bish I respect that, and :salute them all.

I fly the mossie when ENY goes up, but when it exceeds 15 I get annoyed because I cant drive a Sherman or T34-85. I have also started flying the 109's a little, but with an average Bish eny of 10 you arent even rewarded for flying a high ENY bird.
I never get above 700 perks in any of the feilds and I only use perked rides in a gv usually, it's not right.
I dont mean this to be as much of a whine as I guess it is lol. I just wish the sides were more balanced, I have no qualms with helping the balance by switching myself.
-
Go to lowest numbered side: eny goes down, targets go up. Done.
-
you guys are so full of crap its unreal! Here we are, check the map, its bish vs rooks and knights vs rooks
Come back to earth and get real
YALL must be JOKING

Is it the players that drive people away?
In short, yes.
Knits have, by far, the highest ratio of twits to non-twits.

Please keep posting the cougars...

they are out to get us. . . and every week we feel their wrath. Being knights means you always get pincered to death. . .but there are always lots of bombers to shoot!!
-
I started out a knight, you know the reason? Well I was about 12, and rook and bishop sounded stupid... So I said that I'll be a knight because they sound cool.
OMG!!! That's it! All the little kids go to knights because it sounds cool. If not knights they go to rooks because really, bishop sounds queer. All the old people realize that the little kids don't want to go bishop so they all meet there (explaining the high numbers) and there you go!

If your a Rook its the knits and bish ganging, if you a bish its the rooks and knits ganging, if your a knit its the rooks and bish ganging, been hearing that whine since I started playing, and I have even started it a time or 2 :devil

because Bish and Rook have consistently higher numbers (eny 10 is ~50% more players). maybe the question should be why do players want to play for sides which usually have a numbers advantage?
-
Went to LW blue yesterday while nits had 29 ENY and bish had 15, rooks only had 2 ppl in air.
Sank a CV and cruiser with B24s and got 49 perks. Even fighting A8s with a 30 ENY value will get you 2-3 perks each in those situations. Even more incentive is the target rich enviroment :devil

Being Knight is not for those who want, it is for those who can.

good question :aok

Start with 100% of the player base:
1. "Ok, so this piece can move up and down in the same row or column"
2. "Cool! That sounds easy -- I'll take that shiny fast plane that i see on the history channel and fly at 25k!"
35% of the player base goes rook
1. "All right, this piece can move at diagonals, but has to stay on the same color the whole game"
2. "That sounds simple enough. I'll go find as many friends as possible who can stay on the opposite color at any given time, and fly this crazy looking English bird with these big roman numerals."
35% of the original player base goes bish
1. "Finally we have the drunken piece, which can move two steps in any one direction then has to stumble once to the side to regain its balance. Also, for no apparent reason it can jump over anything else."
2. "(incoherent drunken babbling acceptance)"
Remaining 30% of the player base, much too drunk or disoriented to piece together any coherent logic or argument joins the knights.
In almost 4 years of flying knights, this is the best reasoning I have found for our lack of numbers. :salute
-
i havent played in like 5 months............ when i did we ALWAYS had eny, i also played knights for over 5 years, so idk what your talkin bout. We were almost always outnumbered as well, you would look at charts and see rooks with bout 20-30 more then us, and bish with like 50 more then us.

The ONLY thing more worthless than having Crayababy fly for your country is a first day noob who keeps asking how to start the engine.
