Who Loves ENY?

[Arlo]

WHEN NUMBERS ARE LOW ENY is a nuisance.

Then stop logging off. Logging off drops numbers.

War is more fun if you have all advantages .

Why else would people up a number of LA-7's in offensive missions, grouped with highflying bombladen 51D in local odds they simply can not lose ?

They simply dont want be be at any disadvantage at any point whatsoever.

If we had strats that allowed some plane types to be removed along with Perked/ENY X and no ack/flak shooting  -many would bomb the enemy to the stoneage, because they can.

It's a game with a handicap for those who have numbers.

ENY should be adjusted locally though - if there is a way to prevent cheating.

  What really stinks is being the low # country and fighting a 2 front war because it's easier to horde the weaker country.

What you described above is the BEST place to be!
Especially with ENY blocking the other side from flying their uber rides and I can smite  their ENY 20 garbage planes with my ENY 30 super plane.

I am on my second round of flying with the Bishops. My first was about a year ago. I only flew with them for a few months. And now on my second try with them I am experiencing the same problem that occurred the first time. I long in, go to the game and boom! Hit with ENY sign. I never have this problem with the other sides. So I assume the Bishops are the superior side because they seem to get a lead on most maps causing the eny handicap to go into effect right from the beginning of the game.
So if the purpose of the game is to win the war (by winning maps) why would you handicap the team that is winning. I know the concept is to make sides even but this method makes it BORING and FRUSTRATING. I don't want to know I'm losing a fair fight and the winning side is being given peashooters to finish my side off.
I want to play the other sides even steven and if they beat me - well they were the better team. This eny is just crazy. If you want to handicap a team..........take their 6 best players and move them to another side. NOW WE WILL HAVE SOME GOOD EVEN BATTLES IN THE AIR! The winning side will enjoy better competition. ENY IS JUST NOT WORKING!!!!!! AND MANY DISLIKE EMENSLY!

You do not understand the basics of what eny is. It has to do with numbers and not who is winning. If you are on the side that has many more people on it then you will have eny.

I think wrapping a perk value in with ENY is a win win for everyone.

I don't care myself really, i have fun in just about any plane in here.  But at the same time, I understand how some folks like their ride.

It bothered me awhile, but then I found fun in planes like 109g2s, spit5's, and other garbage like that.

As suggested elsewhere...

Instead of ENY, modify downtimes according to team player numbers:

Bish 100, Knit 70, Rook 50.

Bish kills Knit ack, downtime = 70/100 * 30min = 21 min.
Bish kills Rook ack, downtime = 50/100 * 30 min = 15 min.
Knit kills Rook ack, downtime = 50/70 * 30 min = 21 min.

(Rook kills either Bish or Knit ack, downtime = 30 min.)

This would give relief to the low-number sides, without denying anyone their favorite ride.  It is also proportional to the numbers imbalance, rather than arbitrary, as are ENY values.  It still gives strat bombers a role to play, and won't deter a horde, er... organized strike.

I'd like to see area based ENY. 

Also, I think ENY should not apply to new players since they're already severely handicapped by lack of experience.


For those of you who hate ENY, the purpose of it is to balance the sides by players changing country.

Yeah it is annoying now that I'm a bishop again but I can have fun until it gets past 20.

Fly a 109G14. So damn good.

The problem is some very experienced players use short-lived shade accounts.

[SFRT - Frenchy]

Why not perk my M when ENY gets too high so I still get to fly the damn thing?

[rvflyer]

We all know the purpose of eny but the problem is say Bish have 30 and nits have 15 and rooks have 15 it is still 30 to 30 but bish are handicapped severely. Just throwing out numbers and examples. I would not mind it if somethings like the Warble was not taken away because of ENY  and a a couple of tanks so there would at least be a fighting chance for the country with high eny numbers. Oh well it is Dales game to run as he wishes. I have seen players get so frustrated and quit the game though.

Logged on yesterday - ENY was 16, so I logged off.

Logged on tonight - ENY was 20, so I logged off.

Why?  You are proven competent in many planes.

We all know what I am - a bedwetting, ack-hugging, alt-grabbing, kill-stealing HO-taking runstang jockey. Not gonna justify that.

Just letting everyone know that, in this time of dwindling numbers, at least one guy who plays AH regularly logs when the ENY is in effect. If I'm the lone schmo who won't jump into a Jug or switch sides, fine.

But if others are logging because of ENY...

Too bad players aren't allowed to ever switch sides to fly their one and only ride.
