Team Balancing Discussion

[ATAG_Keller]

The team imbalances go both ways, during the time I was on last night (20:00 to 22:30 EST) the teams were between 2:1 and 3:2, advantage RED.

Since the ATAG server made available the Spit IIa I have found that my only chance to defeat them is to grab a Stuka and hit them on the ground. If I'm in a 109 and I get a IIa on my six I'm as good as dead.

The Spit IIa has left a bad taste in the mouth of many BLUE pilots and that has caused them to jump to the top of the most wanted list.

lol, very much on Mk.Mr X and his friends, was my fault sorry....

Maybe we can just increase the accuracy of the AAs at low attitudes?

I fly Blue 99% of the time and I've been strafed more times than I can count. A 109 caught with no alt advantage is much vulnerable than the the brits in the same scenario.

We just need more online players so we can have dedicated airbase patrols

Just to clarify once again: There are 5 available. Five. Cinq. Funf. All based at Manston.

That's erm..five. At Manston.

Out of a possible 60 a/c on the server. And if numbers on each side are even, against a possible 30 109's. If not, 55 109's against 5 Spit II's.

When server numbers are low, five is a big number. When it's full it's not.

But please let's not have yet another Spit II debate.

Personally I don't wish to see any server governed numerical evening of the team numbers, or even any insistance by server admins that you join the lower numbered side. By and large, the numerical bias is generally speaking more blue than red, which as Klem says, is a target rich environment for the reds. For the history buffs, it's also more true to life.

I say we leave it as it is, then we get some good days, some bad days on both sides. I always fly red, just as some players only fly blue. I've no idea of how to fly any of the blue 'planes, so if there was any numerically based insistance that I did, I'd exit the server and go bomb targets on server 2. Or play RoF.

We don't want people to exit the server, we want them to stay and have a good time. Without any stifling 'rules'.

No one here is complaining about the spit 2 yet, makes a nice change though 5 is the perfect number.

Btw one of the reds highest scorer is a guy that only flies spit mk 1a

[JG52Krupi]

During the battle of Britain the downed German pilots statements of being shot down by spits led to the term "spitfire snobbery" in ATAG we have "spit 2a snobbery"

[ATAG_Dutch]

I know.

They only ever get shot down by the IIa those blue guys.

I never even bother trying to get a IIa anymore. Leave them for the good guys like Sniper.

Seriously, Krupi ... If you want fairness and equality go play a sports game. I totally agree with Feathered_IV - adpot any kind of "equality rules" or any other gamey crutch to create a perceived equality you take away what interests me in historical flightsims in the first place - the historical setting. Actually that one is among the top 5 reasons why I greatly prefer offline.

Why don't the airfields have enough AAA to crush single vulchers?
