Absolutely not. Every single morning the j0kers get on and horde half the map, If the map is small they will roll it. Many times they have rolled multiple maps. ENY gives us half a chance to defend.

Let's put em Sopwith Cammels! That will teach em!  :old:

In all regards, normally, an abundance of airplanes with decent pilots are going to beat 1 superior plane in the sky. That being the pilot isn't a complete Ace, which many are not. Unless you fly a Temp or a Ta152 or a 190D, you generally won't be able to outrun most planes. When you get a gang on you, if you cannot out run them, it's pretty much over. 

The biggest reason why the Jokers take all of your bases is because of your side's or the 3rd's teamwork. 

When your side doesn't have the teamwork, or even enough players to combat the other squad, ENY doesn't really matter.

Now, if the maps were designed smaller where the Jokers had to face an opposition in order to capture a base, maybe ENY would work. The issue now, is that they can reup at another base across the map and basically avoid most opposition, thus flying higher ENY planes, but still capturing the map as there is little teamwork agaisnt them.

If numbers were better, sure.  But when the option is to have 20 easy-mode heroes flying around or 5 hardcores spread across a large map, I'd rather have 20 opponents.

^^^ During the week, in the mornings, they will reset the smaller maps in just a few hours. One morning "Baltic" was won after being up only 5 hours. They did this with ENY in the high 20's but it wasn't enough to slow them down.

Most times its up to 26-29....i guess team work really does work :aok

I think it was ganging that was the biggest culprit. There were times when one team was being attacked from both sides for the whole month never mind an hour or two here and there.

I was hoping to get the answer from HiTech.  :salute

Fugitive drastically understates the issue.
We went for close to a year with one country having more people 24 hours a day in the arena then other 2 counties. Countries having similar numbers was a rarity.

But then when people logged because of the problem (from the low side), the problem would just get worse.

Interested to know what specific category of complaints are lower now, then before ENY?  (hoarding, rolling bases, maps won too fast, ??) Because it isn't obvious.  :salute

You never saw the threads that always resulted on Monday's after the Rookies launched one of their combined squadron operations on Sunday when the Rookies would out number the entire arena by a 3 to 1 margin.

RJO!  Ya, I remember.  Was allot of fun steamrolling maps at will.  I'm sure it wasn't for the Bish/Knits, but RJO was partially a result of getting the old Knit/Bish gangbang a little too often.

I had a ball as a Knit, but you did have to be a glutton for punishment. Those were the days of 40 perk sorties being normal and 80 perk sorties not being unusual, especially since the -1 at the time had a higher ENY.

And ENY balances the numbers? 
Is that by causing people to switch sides?
Or
By causing people that ENY effects to log off?
