All you wonderful people making your appearance known in this thread by all means please enjoy the opportunity to continue to voice your opinion regardless of on or off topic. It's only the first message that matters and the message will get to him when he sees it. Whether or not something gets done isn't about me. Just gone March 09, 2023 if nothing changes. A lot more ways to waste my time. The game and community needs some tlc and I'm out if eny is not fixed.
So you are good in a HIGH eny plane but not in a LOW eny plane?
Because just like your saying, several others have been saying. This is one in many threads over ENY. Way more FUN kicking a s s in a crappy plane than in EASY mode plane.
The perk system is a mechanic of the game to address the issues ENY is supposed to fix.
So you are good in a HIGH eny plane but not in a LOW eny plane?ya I'm finding myself going from mid-war b17/b24's to He111's and JU88's..... alot

Are you saying that perks do solve the ENY problem or could solve it?
Either way, it doesn't and won't.
Most players are probably sitting on accrued perk points well over 1000 for fighters and bombers. If suddenly they had to pay a few perks to fly their Pony when ENY would normally cut them off, they'd just pay the fee and fly like normal and not give a thought to their couple of spent perk points.
Now the side with the most players can roll bases in top line equipment with impunity. That sure sounds fun. :rolleyes:
90 days
Not fixed in 90 days I regret to announce I will no longer support this game.
Im a 20 ENY plane(B17-B24) player. I run into ENY problems often with under 50 players in the MA and this has been going on for a long time. I do not restrict my play to 1 country and regularly find myself investing 4-6 hrs while playing, log, return, and forced to switch sides which is counter-productive to my previous time investment in-game.
Ive had it :aok :cheers:
ya I'm finding myself going from mid-war b17/b24's to He111's and JU88's..... alot
Due to my schedule I play at all times of day and night 4-5 days a week. I'm hitting ENY on Friday and Saturday nights before midnight my time multiple weeks in a row now.
Ok, this is a little more contextually addressable - yep, often in late evenings, bish will log off en masse (parental curfews I presume :devil ) leaving knits and rooks with that ENY for an hr or 2 until more log off on knit/rooks (because of eny or because of time?)
The underlying issue seems to be with a specific country playerbase creating these massive ENY imbalances that can last for an hr or 2. The irony is ENY limits aren't affecting the people creating the situations - bish. In mornings they have numbers and deal with ENY which doesn't stop them from rolling bases because low numbers... in evenings when the bish all log off, they've been pushed into their own corner as knits/rook take back morning losses and since bish mostly logged and knits/rooks are going at it, this ENY hurts knit/rooks player base because there are still significant evening players.
This speaks to the cycle of double-teaming and whack-a-moles... both player generated activities, that ENY cannot address, only alleviate.
ENY works - it's the players who are in need of adjustment, lol and good luck with that. Side changers are mostly a non-factor, they just seemingly think they're somehow finding "more" fights.
Why would players spend $ to be limited in which vehicles/planes they can use on such a frequent basis? I’m trying to figure out why I continue to…
I’d venture ENY limitations are a big contributor to new players not staying.
Why should any player be barred from choosing their favorite(s)? The perk system is a mechanic of the game to address the issues ENY is supposed to fix.

the only thing that's going to fix ENY & aceshigh 3 is advertising... and I do not see that ever happening again.

I've noticed this a lot as well. It seems like both sides are pushing bish to 70% bases where both sides are piling on them. There should be a perk point multiplier or something to attack the other side. Idk. It's strange to me when knits/rooks only need like 1 or 2 more bases of each others side to win the map, but they keep going after bish.:aok
I don't think ENY should kick in under 20 players. With really low #s. 3 guys can make a huge difference with ENY. I don't think it's a good idea to incentivize players to log off their team because they cannot fly their plane when the #s are already really low. The only way ENY actually works is when a team is about to win a map in the evening with 50 players + and a lot of people switch to that team to win the war. Then, ENY is doing its purpose. I'd rather players have to spend perks rather than just log off. Do we want less players in the game because they can't fly what they want? Or do we make them pay perks and keep them in the game to build #s? If all 20 players switched to one side to win the map, so be it, but we all know that wouldn't happen.
Most limited players are limited by themselves.
When there’s only a fight and targets between two countries, would you switch to the 3rd country where there is little to no fight in order not to have your plane set limited?

I normally fly the P38J. If it was limited, I'd fly another plane. If there was not a fight on the low number side. Pretty easy to deal with in my opinion.
What do you do or would you do when you’re trying to help your teammates capture a base from CV and there’s GVs guarding the town but ENY is so high you can’t take a bomb off the CV?
That will happen with ~30ENY.
Iirc correctly when I’ve seen you play it’s during the day or peak hours, right? I don’t recall seeing you at night over the last 6 months if not longer.
ENY becomes a bigger issue at night, which is when I play most often - so I see it:
Last night, Bish 8 players, Knights 18, Rooks 12. Only Knights had ENY of 14.5
Very little activity on Bish/Knight front for hours, as is common….
Some of you could use to drop in at times other than your usual (for those that still play). Morning is different than day, day different than evenings, night different than late night….etc

When I get time to play it is usually in the later evenings, 7pm -10pm central. If there is a fight, it's a fight. If they get the base... so be it. The whole idea is the fight for me. You try to hold them off but that is really just to extend the fight. We all have different ideas about the game and what we want to do. Mine is just for the fight, each and every fight. For me, the bases are just a way to get a fight going. The only thing that really affects my game is when there is not a red plane to come knock pieces off my 38. :aok
The point being missed by most so far is that ENY swings are DRASTIC when player #’s are low, further complicating gameplay.
What does ENY do for the game when there’s less than 15 players on each country other than frustrate many players?
I normally fly the P38J. If it was limited, I'd fly another plane. If there was not a fight on the low number side. Pretty easy to deal with in my opinion.my whole issue is I'm committed to flying planes that create the fight at a base. This hasn't been about flying lancs I fly b17'/ b24. 20 eny planes. If I am unable to create the fight while being able to defend myself properly there is no point to invest up to an hr of my life just to fail.

If you are on a side with 10 players do you want to see a side with 50 players attacking you with bombers and ponies?
If you are on a side with 10 players do you want to see a side with 50 players attacking you with bombers and ponies? Without a better idea, ENY is here to stay. Being without it, or something like it, is not an option. We all know it is not perfect.... so what is your idea to replace it?
Fugitive states it best when suggesting change to HiTech, bring the numbers with your ideas.
No Shuffler im not bringing the ******* numbers to HiTech he knows what the hell is up. God you wrack up 23k posts to be relevant in this community outside your retard circle jerk clique with nothing posts of your uninvested opinions FOR YEARS

It comes down to having to switch sides to balance or log way too much for me these days. That is the worst feeling. Not ready to log but unable to play the way I want which keeps the fight going. Hope to see HiTech do something about this. Saddens my heart to see this game dying but I've made a promise to myself and I'm sticking to it.
I really appreciate how healthy this conversation has been so far :cheers: <S>
Flying a bomber like a fighter isnt what I think the game is about. Once your out of bombs you shouldnt be in the fight.
Well name calling will get you no where quick. The facts have been stated, you can continue to waste your time. I will not waste my time posting to those who just want to complain.
Yes you will waste your time it ms what you do. You posts just to post even if your posts are off topic or your just not invested like this one. :neener:hey toyboy, you must be back in the alcohol again. i feel terrible for you and your family. we will see ya when you get back from your 15th stint in rehab after the new year.
Haha 24k posts and you ignore my point that you post just to post.
hey toyboy, you must be back in the alcohol again. i feel terrible for you and your family. we will see ya when you get back from your 15th stint in rehab after the new year.too bad that's all you have to grab ahold of.... :neener:
"Flying a bomber like a fighter isnt what I think the game is about. Once your out of bombs you shouldnt be in the fight."
I do be holding it down sometimes huh bro? Think it was yesterday logged in around 5am and racked up 30-40 kills on tropic Thunder in 43 minutes and holding them to 1 single base capture for almost 2 hrs :salute
My bad for developing my own style of game play.
You just made the signature buddy hahaha
I am the GOAT :x
Meh, besides mERv being extremely toxic here. Who cares how someone flys. Dogfighting in a bomber is fun. We should have that in KOTH 2 :banana: piew piew piewI'm Brittany Spears "Toxic" :x :bolt:

This has been a complaint since ENY was instituted. Back then, there were too many people flying in arenas for the system to support. I remember trying to log in on squad night and having a tough time getting into the arena my squad was flying in because it was just too crowded. Nowadays, it seems like there is a real lack of people willing to pay to play Aces High. It seems people complained, were ignored, got fed up and left. HiTech dug in his heals and insisted people play his game how he wants them to play, not how they want to play. No problem with that, there are plenty of other options out there these days. Players voted with their feet. Don't think you will be any different. BTW, how many folks are in the main arena these days? I suspect that when there are four people left playing Aces High, one of them is going to have to fly an early war plane because the ENY system insists the sides be balanced.
Gonna need more context... I'm on at varying times (as knight) and it's rare for eny to hit that hit for any extended period of time... most often the side dealing with higher, prolonged ENY are bish in the early/mid morning when they can often have nbrs equal to the other two sides combined... plus a few extra.Can't believe I agree with you,Sir! Auto Swap, seems to have helped out a bit? With out those MF'ers, ENY would be More FUBAR! Most Impact..tied with 'Tower Sitters'. AFK for hours? Team Players, they are NOT!!!

An A20 is a fighter bomber. A B17 or B24 wasnt designed to be flown as an acrobatic fighter like a mustang or hog. Finetime is known to do that. Straphing field guns and/or vulching with them also wasnt the way they were used. Bombers were designed to get a large number of bombs to target and then to return to do it again. The guns were to defend themselves from attach, not to seek it out.
However that type of play is allowed in the game, even if it ruins some players game play, much like ENY does for other players.
Fully agree with that, using Lanc, B17/24 etc. as jabos is something I deeply dislike. In one other sim there are pilots, who dive bomb with them and overperform 1-engine fighters. Not to mention 1-ping kills from D10 etc.So if I understand you correctly I should not be able to do this...

What about adding the Boston III or the B-25C to your repertoire during ENY-restrictions? These are fine planes as well.
Hate to see you go, Finetime. But I don't think a threat or ultimatum to Hitech is going to work to bring about the desired change in ENY, which as I understand it, is to suspend ENY restrictions when player count is < 50? And automatically logoff tower sitters after a certain time period of inactivity? These sim like reasonable suggestions to me.
While I would like to see Hitech continue tweaking and rolling out changes and additions to AH, it doesn't appear that is happening any more, whatever the reason(s) might be.

Significantly less efficient both in ordinance and defensive capabilities.
If im going to pay $15 bucks a month at the very least I should never have to fly b25's or He-111's
In all fairness i wont let the door hit me on the way out but until then ill still be in there :rock

That's his default setting--uncouth, banal.come on guys let's cut the guy some slack. The very first time I ever log into AH Peanut is 14-16 years old playing with his grandpa and the rest of the tard squad in a gv battle that had two dozen friendly gvs in a spawn fight. I had flown over with a B25H and had to figure the game out right there. Peanut comes over the radio chewing me out for being a bomb**** and belittled me for a brief moment before grandpa came on and told him with all the love in the world why it was ok if someone wants to do what you don't want to do. Peanut shut up, I felt accepted, and I am still around to tell the tale :salute

You see me and peanut have never been close but I remember sharing all this with him at one time over the past 2 years while I was down in the dumps.
I am bi-polar, suffered greatly from PTSD, done almost every kind of drug that didn't involve injection. He thinks alcohol was the problem...
You see me and peanut have never been close but I remember sharing all this with him at one time over the past 2 years while I was down in the dumps. This isn't the first time he took all this info and used it as a personal attack for sending him to tower over and over and over again. It's always over 200 tho.
