Survey-Is ENY Really Needed?

Geez, c'mon.  So you ONLY had almost as many players as the other 2 countries combined?  And you actually had to fight BOTH of them?  What were they thinking?  No, really, are you saying that neither of the other countries were fighting each other splitting their numbers as well?  If they were'nt I wouldn't blame them considering it was the only way to maintain equal footing.

Hmmm...topic: Survey-Is ENY Really Needed?

No.  Multi-arena and limited plane set was supposed to balance things.

Simple fact, if one side wants to organize in a semi-military manner and the other sides do not...then in a miltary simulation those who don't organize will fail.

All that ENY and multi-arena has done is to encourage furballing.

New base AAA format has made base capture a difficult matter.

"Amen, but what about chesspiece loyalty?"  Loyalty and camaraderie is now a bad thing?

Ahhh...for the glory days of one MA and RJO's...

LOL

Last night Knights were out numberd by 64 players to the rooks and 25-30 by Bishes.....The bish number I could be wrong but the rook number I know I'm not.

Don't like the ENY? Well sometimes the others don't like gettig steam rolled either.

No reason a 60+ player advantage should have uber rides to go along with thier steam roller.

I been on both sides of the ENY equation. Fly and deal with it. It aint going away.

I just logged on to the Late War Blue Arena at 7:30 a.m. ESt and there were a total of 76 ppl logged on.  26 bish, 15 knights and 35 rooks.  The ENY for Rooks was 21.6 which neutralized flying most of the Late War Planes.  IMHO, since the arena population is now being controlled, ENY is no longer needed in the current arena set ups.  At the very least, I believe that the ENY should be disabled when total arena population is below a certain number, i.e. 100.   Just a thought for consideration.  Wizer

Let me guess here, you wanna fly a late war dweeb ride and your loyal to your make believe country and you don't wanna switch countries to even the sides out?


Do what the rest of the dweeb ride flyers do----> switch countries, when everyone asks you why your on thier country just say your evening out the numbers & not going where the dweeb rides are.

A few days ago there were particular heavy whines about ENY by several players on my countrychannel :

"XXXX ENY... I canīt fly nothing anymore.. ENY sucks... HT has to change this crap"

I was getting curious and took a look at the Country Info and I found ENY to be at.... 9!!!!!!

someone said in MW over the weekend  "pretty soon we won't be able to up anything but Spads" <<<<<<---roflmao


I don't like having to have my arse pried out of my Hellcat seat(I will go back to the tower after the explosion, thank you very much), but I always enjoy flying whatever it is I end up in.(I actually kinda like the FM2 now)

but I keep banging my head on the canopy of the 109s..its like trying to fly a plane lookin' through the driver slits on a tank

No it wasn't ... please show us where it was said that the multi-arena format was supposed to balance things.

Simple fact, if one side wants to organize in a semi-military manner and the other sides do not...then in a miltary simulation those who don't organize will fail.

Simple fact, when one country is overwhelmed by a 3 : 1 ratio ... not much to organize for the overwhelmed.

New base AAA format has made base capture a difficult matter.

Oh golly gee ... on the other hand, if one were to organize in a semi-military manner ... taking care of the AAA and base capture should be a piece of cake.

Ahhh...for the glory days of one MA and RJO's...

Yeah ... I miss it too ... almost as much as I miss having a festering boil in my nose.

But it also made stopping a successful offensive single-handedly more difficult -

On this small maps 1 dedicated pilot could easily pork troops on a whole front  in a cannon/rocket armed plane. With the combination of increased Ack & much more barrack itīs no longer that easy. So it benefits a defender on tactical level but sometimes also the attacker on a strategical one.

People who are wedded to one plane are really missing out on a lot of fun.  If you don't want to switch sides to balance things out, take the ENY restriction as an opportunity to try something more challenging.

ENY just allows people to fly the better planes....

Well actually, I was trying to fly the F6F.  Don't know about "dweeb ride" and topic of discussion is availability of Late War Planes in the Late War Arena and was not intended to rate planes as dweebish or not.

Only if my chess piece has the overwhelming majority.
