DFA flies Bish.  My loyalty cannot be bought off with perk points.....top shelf vodka maybe, but not perk points.

I realize that loyalty is out of favor these days but nothing will
convince me to change from Rook... imho nothing will save this game
except systemic change

Years ago HTC decided to remove the ability to kill in the TA... In my opinion
that was a mistake... yes some used it to get easy kills but that could be,
for the most part by a few tweaks... the TA is useless without the ability
to SEE ones kills... particularly those that are just beginning...
Just my opinion

Getting to fly with all these different players is awesome. What's cool is that my squad channel is used on all three countries so when I get merked to the next country all the people on vox channel are cool.

Boy If I thought camping and vulching runways was bad before just give 10X perk points to do it and run home without fighting.

I signed off early and played BF1.

Just checked the MA and numbers were pretty close to even, with 30% of players enabling auto-switch.  This time of day (early morning Eastern time) the Bish would usually outnumber the other teams combined.  So, it seems to be working.  Also, plenty of vultching when team numbers are lopsided, at least now the vultchers are flying Spit 9's instead of Tempests.   :D

You just returned to AH.  Trust me, vulching and camping have been common here since planes and vehicles were created.

After 1 weekend, I saw this feature level the playing field AND get more people into something other than a yak3 or spit16.

Changes that should follow are this.

1) limit the auto switch feature to cycle every 30 min.  Every sortie is too frequent.  It can pull you out of a good fight just because a few people may have logged in.  I was also bishop as a mission launched, died in a furball and went to the target country.  I didnt call the mission out on country as that felt not sporting, so I rolled alone and got clobbered by them.

2) adjust the ENY on all planes, and put light perks anything under 10 ENY.  Making perks a bigger part of this game will honestly get more guys in mid eny planes to earn them faster.

3) disable darkness.  Seriously, log in for a week 2 hours a day during night time, an hour before and an hour after. Watch the numbers in the MA in comparison to darkness.
