I feel there are some aircraft that could use a revaluation in their ENY.
Bf110G: Currently at ENY 10, but use has declined recently, in favor of planes like the P-47. Proposed ENY of 15-20
Brewster B239: Currently at 25, but since it out turns a zeke, has no handling gremlins to speak of, and holds E like nothing else, possibly an ENY of 10-15.
P-38J could be reduced from 20 to 15, since preformance is identicle to the L.
Raise ENY on the Ta-152 from 10 to 15.
Just an idea. Comments, opinions, thoughts? Go ahead, I'm in my flame bunker :noid.

Has it?

Seems like it. Whens the last time you've seen an NOE 110 horde. Last one I can remember was back in '09.

Oh, so this is not based on numbers but just on perception? ;)
-
You need to argue how the current ENY effects its use in the arena and how it's use effects the arena not how the ENY should be changed because people are or are not flying it totally unrelated to its ENY value.
wrongway

Lusche, show me where to find statistics on the use of 110's for attack purposes.
OK wrongway.
110: The P-47's have equivelant or higher ENY values combined with much improved survivability. The 110 is also hard to fly in a furball, due to the "moin, moin... moin" effect it causes among the enemy. I enjoy taking the 110 out to a fight every now and then (as do some of my friends). I'd like to see more of a reward for flying a 110 into the middle of a furball, and making kills before I'm dragged down. But now its: What, I only got .8 perks for those 2 kills? Damn fights not that good, why the hell am I flying this crate?
Other aircraft that can do what the 110 does and do it better have higher ENY (20 for the P-47D40, 15 for the 38L)
Brewster: The brewster took away the advantage that carrier aircraft had: manuverability. Before, a CV could launch the most manuverable plane in the game (A6M). Now the brewster not only out turns the zeke, but out dives, out zooms, and out climbs it. Its also less prone to the fuel fires that A6M's are.
P-38J: When ENY climbs, people just go from the 38L to the 38J, and suffer no adverse affects besides the loss of 4 rockets. The D40 at least is slower than the P-47N, but the 38J is identicle in preformance to the L model.
Ta-152: Its quite average down low where most of the fights are. And the 109K4 or 190A8 are superior interceptors below 15K. The result is a relative lack of use for one of the better planes in the set, and a former perk aircraft.

I doubt the Bf110's ENY has anything to do with air-to-air combat. Unfortunately, what the Bf110 is used so much for doesn't get tracked in stats, but for that purpose it has significantly more destruction in its bombs and guns than the P-47 has in its bombs, guns and rockets.
-
P-47 can carry something around 3750lbs of ordnance (figuring a building takes 250lbs of damage to kill, and 2 HVAR's destroy 1 building). I doubt its all that much MORE, but it is easier to use SMALLER portions on individual buildings, which results in less wasted damage potential through splash damage.
-

I can show you where the total stats for the 110 can be found. And as attack has always been the dominant way the 110 has been used (by far!), any major reduction in usage for that purpose would also change the total stats, both in quantity as well as quality (composition of "kills of" and killed by" stats).

The Bf110G-2 has almost 9,000lbs of destruction in total. Its guns MASSIVELY out perform those of the P-47.
-
I'm not sure it would result in a large change in the "killed by stats". The 110 IS pretty uselss in the anti-fighter role unless flown by an expierenced hand. Exception could be mass cap 'n vulches, and more picks or lucky kills through the sheer number of 110's being used.
Kills of, I could see. More planes in the air means more wrecks on the ground. A 110 raid isn't real likely to make it through defense by more than 1 or 2 fighters.
Anyway, point taken. I'm not great at getting the type of usage and such out of basic "kills in, kills of, killed by, died in" stats.
And Karnak, the 110's guns do almost 6600lbs of damage? If so, then why don't more people use it against hangers at Vbases and ports?
-

Because it takes more time. The guns are and advantage vs a greater number of small, dispersed targets that do not need many lbs one for one. One single 110 can kill all 3 hangars on a Vbase, but takes time it will be exposed to enemy defensive fire all the time. A couple of wirbels coming out of the VH you are trying to strafe down aren't a good thing...
-
Tank, ENY is based on performance (or so it seems), i have turned with "better" planes then the 110 before with the heavy gun package. albeit, it turns like a pig and is slow as molasses with those guns, what it lacks in performance it makes up for when you get a shot... 10 is good for it
-
Alright, 110 ENY is fine, and thanks for filling in the gaps in my info. any comments on the others?

Brewster has been discussed ad nausem. If people don't fight the Brew's fight, i.e. slow and turney, it is easy to beat. 0.74 K/D ratio is not that of an overwhelming performer.
P-38J. Rockets. "Bazooka" versus 5" HVAR. No dive flaps(?). The L gets used more than the J probably for the ord alone.
Ta152. Remember when it was perked? Big Tater chucker that everyone complains about when it's in the 109K plus 2 20mm cannons. It's K/D is right up there below all the perk rides.
I think the reason you are seeing fewer 110G missions is the nature of base take missions now. Where the emphasis used to be on taking down the town fast with big cannons then fighting off the defenders while troops are brought in the new goal is to kill the ability to defend altogether. Heavy Jabos to take down the entire field first, all the hangers, so there can be no defense. Then, leisurely kill the town and roll in fourty or fifty troops. After all, someone could break a nail if there was a fight.
wrongway
-
65' dot-dar deck <------ reason you do not see as many 110 NOE missions anymore.
-
True wrongway, but it took away the one area CV planes could dominate. Before, the A6M was THE best turning fighter in the game; CV planes were guaranteed parity or superiority in at least ONE area. Now land bast fighters are faster, climb better, dive better, and turn better. Not arguing the ENY, I've conceded the point, just commenting.
ENY/KTD (statistics taken from Late War Tour 138)
Ta-152: 10/1.60

Again, I give up on the ENY issue, but the statment "It's K/D is right up there below all the perk rides" is false.

Tank-Ace,
The A6M2 still turns best, but that crown will be lost the moment the Ki-43 is added.
As to your perk plane K/D comparison, you left out the Spitfire Mk XIV.

Yup. Omitting that number killed his argument. Of course, including that number would have killed his argument too.
-
damnit, I was hoping no one would think about the omition :noid.
Either way, if you average out the KTD's of the perk planes, its still significantly higher than the Ta-152 (4.07 averaged out). Statment still false, proving that the Ta-152's K/D isn't "right up there" with the perk planes'.
However I do note that there is a direct relation to increase of ENY and decrease of K/D in the unperked aircraft I cited.
-
As the top K/D free plane it still far out performs the bottom end perk plane in K/D.
-
That particular perk plane is flown VERY poorly. I have yet to see one up high on the occasions I take the 152 up high and hunt bombers. Its usually just me and the occasional bomber formation. Not my fault if people abuse the perk plane :bhead

I've flown it up high. There is nothing for it to fight up there for the limited time you have. I once even drug an La-7 up to 25,000ft before turning on him, he lasted a turn and a half before he put the nose down and abandoned his lust for killing the 60 perk point Spitfire. I disagree about the poorly flown as it is hardly flown. If a lot of people used it I could see that, but....
The fact is, the Spitfire Mk XIV is a poor fighter for AH. It is very much exacerbated by the 2.0 fuel burn.
-
If flying a spit 14 on the deck like a spit 8 isn't flying it poorly, I don't know what would be.
And the La-7 is hit by the 2.0 fuel burn rate. So is the 109, the 190, the Yak, the Typhoon, and every other spitfire. Granted that the spit 14 is probably hit harder than most because of its intended use, its not like its a real slouch in preformance on the deck, so thats not an excuse for it poor K/D.
-
The Griffon 65 in the Spit XIV guzzles fuel far faster than the Merlins in the other Spits.
You might also notice that none of those other aircraft you mentioned are perked and some specialize in low altitude work where they don't have to spend all the fuel in their drop tank just to reach their combat altitude, where they can then fly around all by themselves.
In any case, my point is that the Ta152's ENY is fine.
-
As I said, I agree. This thread has degraded into a discussion of a miriad of related topics.
-
I've tried to get the Spit14 unperked numerous times, but to no avail.
-
Why? Reducing the perk price? OK. but UNperk it? Do you deny that it isn't perk worthy if it weren't for the fuel burn rate? Its probably one of the 3 best aircraft at altitude.
-

So is the Ta152 and guess what? It got unperked even though it got used more and had a better, though still crappy for a perk plane, K/D ratio. The P-47M and N were never perked and they are also one of the "three" best at altitude.
-
Ta-152 is worse than the spit 14 in the average low-alt furball IMO. Spit 14 turns better than the 152, spit 14 climbs better than the 152, the spit 14 is almost as fast as the 152. The only areas the 152 clearly beats the spit 14 is firepower and dive. The 152 also has what is one of, if not THE, worst stall in the game.
-
Take a slip with the Spit14 and fixed. I know there is a push to unperk the 14, but I say leave it as a cheap perk ride. A deck speed of 345-ish is avg for the MA. The 14 can do 361 on the deck iirc. That edges the likes of the G14,Yak9U and F4U1A.
P-47N: Excellent ord, roll. Good speed but poorest performance without WEP of ANY jug. This seems like a good candidate for raising ENY but showed up late in war. Leave at 10ENY.
P-47M: Better K/D than Pony. Better gun package, better climb with WEP, better angles fighter, much better toughness. No A-G capability but it was a rarity in RL (130 built) and this should be reflected a little. (5 ENY)
F6F: Compared to 20 ENY P47D40 the Hellcat has worse: A-G ord, flaps, roll, guns, visibility, toughness, dive, and SPEED. The F6F has a climb (maybe, and only below 10k), a tailhook and turn going for it. The Hellcat's rearward visibility is probably the worst of any fighter off the top of my head. The F6F was a major US type and sees the least use of any US of LW ride. Even with an ENY increase, I don't see the F6F reaching parity with the F4U-1D to say nothing of the F4U family as a whole. (20 ENY)
Ki84: One of the best K/D in game and it is at 20 ENY. I'd compare it to a fast Spit9 (which is 20 ENY btw) with A-G capability and much better fuel economy. (15 ENY)
Seafire: This 15ENY ride has vastly inferior performance to Spit9 with exception of turn. It is as the F6F is to the D40. (20 ENY)
Brew: Leave as is. It is not a threat to most birds. A6M5b has better speed and climb. (25 ENY)
109K4: This is a monster. Arguably the best all-round E fighter in the game. The Spit 14/16 can give it problems but it is tougher and faster. Faster than a Pony at some alts, decent turn, outstanding climb. Would be even lower if the tater weren't so difficult to use. (15 ENY)
A20: 10 ENY.
110G-2: 15 ENY. Sure the firepower is awesome but it is at a handicap in MA A-A engagements. In the same boat as the 47N imho.
190D9: Sure it can't flat turn a Pony but it outruns a Pony, has far more WEP, cannons w plenty of ammo, better climb/accel, and rolls like crazy. It might even be a tad tougher than the Pony too. Lack of turn and ord keep it a notch below the Pony. (10 ENY)
8 Changes in total...pretty few gripes when you take the size of the planeset into account right? :D

FYI
(http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/1262/janjun2011.jpg)
The more a plane is located towards the top, the more it's being used (generally spoken), the more it's located to the right, the more success it has in terms of K/D. A plane that has both high K/D and usage can be said to be more "dominating" the arena than the others. All perk planes but the Spit 14 are way off the chart to the right, they do not fit into that scale.

OK wrongway.
110: The P-47's have equivelant or higher ENY values combined with much improved survivability. The 110 is also hard to fly in a furball,
I am quite familiar with both and I would say the 110 will and can hold its own in a furball. To think the 110 is less capable than a JUG is rather ignorant, you should fly the 110 for sometime doing something other than NOE raids. Anything that gets in it's forward "cone of influence" is vaporized :t With all that said I too agree that the 110G eny is too low, but who honestly cares? :huh

True jug, the 110 is about equal with the jug in a fair fight. But the Jug is faster (much faster depending on the model). AND it doesn't attract everyone and his grandmother trying to get an "easy kill".

Context.
What comes between the F4U-1C and the Ta152 K/D wise?
Looking at Tour 136 and 137, since you can sort by K/D, you have P-47M, 109K and P-38J in the same range. 109K and P-38s seem to have a dedicated group of fliers which tends to skew their results a bit.
So, it's still a K/D right below all the perk rides.

JUGgler
I call heresy! Advantages in turn radius/rate are secondary to advantages of speed and visibility. This is also why the 110 is inferior to the Jug. (Mwhahaha!) Yes the 110 is a good airplane but only low and slow does it whup up on the 47. In larger engagements the 110 cannot effectively carry out 500mph passes like the Jug. Speed is life and the 47 retains more speed. Even if the 110 weren't half as tough with some 30% more wing area to shoot, the jug would still be better off. The attempted counter might be "110 has more firepower" but the Jug also vaporizes planes in similar fashion and does so at higher deflection and longer range.
break break
In reference to the Spit14, I think it's lack of success is derived more from the player types that fly it. New guys who want to put their nose on the bad guy till he blows up. The 14 looks like a logical progression from the 16 at first glance when it is in fact a different animal. While it is the most fragile of any perk ride, it is cheap and outperforms a sufficient portion of the planeset imo. I guess the question is whether eny should be based off of potential performance or actual results. I'm obviously leaning toward the former. :salute
-
While there are a few pilots that can really fly a K4, most of the ones I see are generally pretty poorly flown. Takes expierence to fly a K$ well, but the great preformance, and the big gun can draw people to it without their knowing how to fly it.
-

I can list off a bevy of other fighters that need to be perked then, starting with the Bf109K-4, which is superior to the Spitfire Mk XIV in most ways. 10 minutes of WEP.
-
Actual results IMO. The K$ is a difficult plane to fly to its full potential, as are the 190 series of aircraft.
-
Actual results IMO. The K$ is a difficult plane to fly to its full potential, as are the 190 series of aircraft.
So is the Mk XIV. The Bf109K-4 climbs with it, turns with it, is faster than it, has twice the WEP, hits harder and is more controllable. The Spit XIV is easier to hit with.
Oh, yes, the Spit XIV also comes apart due to its own maneuvers with ease.
-
spit 14 out turns it at alt. Increased wingloading was not kind to the K4 :(.
What causes the spit 14 to turn so poorly anyway? Its not all that much heavier than the other spitfires, its wings aren't smaller.
-
I find "perked due to performance at high altitude" arguments to be absurd in the context of the AH MA. The P-47M or N will also dominate up there, and only 100ish Ms were built, yet it is not perked....
I am not sure why it turns so much worse, but the extra weight from the Griffon seems to have done bad things to it. I don't think it should be as fragile as it is to maneuvers either as its wings were stronger than, say, a Spitfire Mk V or IX's.
-
IMO, it seems dale screwed up and give the spit XIV the other spitfire's wings :lol. I would also like to see the reversal of ailerons on spitfires above 400mph.

That didn't always happen and when it did it was far above 400mph.
-
What speed was it at then? and it wasn't always, but it was fairly common.
-

Close to 500mph as I recall. I can't think of any of them doing it in level flight. Thing is, as I recall, that it was airframe specific, if your Spit did it, it would do it and if it didn't, it wouldn't. As we get "perfect" airframes in the game, it shouldn't do it.
Not to say it would affect them much. Aileron reversal when you can't roll anyways just means you can't roll opposite anyways. :p
-
P-38J: When ENY climbs, people just go from the 38L to the 38J, and suffer no adverse affects besides the loss of 4 rockets.
Less powerful rockets (bazooka rockets) and rocket mounts create drag that does effect the performance of the J. Which is why most veteran J drivers (and G) don't carry rockets and just lug bombs instead as the bomb shackles don't effect performance. So, a little more is lost then just 4 rockets if you want to fly the P-38J fully loaded with ordnance.
but the 38J is identicle in preformance to the L model.
Slower roll rate (lack of boosted ailerons) and lack of dive flaps are just two of the things that seperate the two performance wise. A lot of players have troubles going from the L to the J because of the lack of boosted ailerons and vice versa. If anything, the J should be raised a couple.

P-38J as of this post has a K/D of 1.59. In otherwords, its on top end of the K/D list, with an ENY of 20.

You shouldn't view at K/D isolated from other factors. K/D is only a meaningful stat within context.

Seems to be what we're going on here. If you want to look at K/D within context, take it up with wrongway who started this K/D discussion.

109K eny is fine
difficult to fly well, or even decently for newish players, and the spud-gun is a real handicap for anyone without expierence.
Top tier climb, and speed, good zoom
38J eny is fine
Lack of power assisted ailerons and no dive recovery flaps. Fewer rockets and higher drag penalty.
good speed and good climb, top the the class zoom.
Considering the dedicated core of pilots both have, I think they're fine.
And wrongway, you DID start this K/D discussion by saying that "the Ta-152's ENY is right up there with the perk plane's". And this is ignoring the dedicated pilots like m00t that could skew the 152's K/D.

You'll see the kill ratio for the P-38J is skewed by a handful of dedicated P-38J drivers that garner the majority of the kills in that plane.

Are you looking at stats or just reaching?
Go to plane statistics for LW Tour 137, open the F4U-1C and Ta 152H stats side by side and sort by Kills.
They both look eerily similar.
Sorted by K/D, the CHog has more people with better ratios but also has more people with less than 1:1.
If you really want to see dedicated pilots, sort the P-38J by kills and K/D.

If you really want to see dedicated pilots, sort the P-38J by kills and K/D.

A few years back someone had requested the P-38J get a slight perk in the MW arena due it's high kill ratio in there. I checked it out and found out that 3 players were responsible for slightly over 60% of all kills in the P-38J and less than 8% of deaths. These players were also high kill sortie flyers, it really skewed the stats to make it seem the P-38J was unbalancing the MW arena. These 3 players no longer regularly fly in the MW arena and the P-38J is no longer the #1 fighter in terms of total kills and kill ratio.

I feel there are some aircraft that could use a revaluation in their ENY.
Bf110G: Currently at ENY 10, but use has declined recently, in favor of planes like the P-47. Proposed ENY of 15-20
Brewster B239: Currently at 25, but since it out turns a zeke, has no handling gremlins to speak of, and holds E like nothing else, possibly an ENY of 10-15.
P-38J could be reduced from 20 to 15, since preformance is identicle to the L.
Raise ENY on the Ta-152 from 10 to 15.
Just an idea. Comments, opinions, thoughts? Go ahead, I'm in my flame bunker :noid.
Do not let your opinions on an aircraft cloud your mind as to what it really can or can not do.
The 100G-2 has an awesome amount of firepower and ordnance available to it. No other "town killer" can do what it can. Not to mention it is a devastating bomber hunter as well. The ENY is fine, imo. I agree %100 about the Brewster, it is far more capable than it current ENY, a new score of 15-18 wold be a better fit, imo. The P38J is less capable than the P38L in terms of ordnance and "recovery", not to mention a better roll rate. The J is a slightly better dogfighter according to the "experts", but the L is simply more capable. The Ta152 is one of the niche fighter/interceptors, it is one of the 2-3 best fighters at 28k or higher. I say leave it as is.

Lol, 3 pilots scoring a bit over 60% of a plane's kills? Thats awesome.

With planes at the low end of the usage scale, this can happen very quickly. The Spitfire I has only 42 kills in this tour so far. A few sorties and you are top ace #1 in it. A good player can even boost such an "exotic" plane's total K/D by almost 50%. Been there, done that ;)

I don't doubt it. Dedicated C202 pilot could probably get close to 90% of the aircraft's kills if he worked at it.
