I hope the first perk plane gets here soon (populations skewed wrong)

[Hans]

One thing mentioned by Pyro and HiTech was enabeling perk planes for free when a player populations become lopsided.

I logged on once tonight, and Bishops and Knights both had over 60, but Rooks had 28.

There is a vicious cycle of being outnumbered making others not want to play, and that makes the disparity even worse.

At least if the Perk Planes get in there with the population count rule, it wouldn't be so bad.

Go ahead, outnumber my country....I dare ya!

Hans.

We may not have to wait until the next version to have a perk plane.  It's looking like the F4U-1C will end up getting perked as I don't really want to stretch the point value differences further.  I don't think point values on planes will have their full effect until there's something to cash them in on.

Good idea Pyro.

[Ghosth]

Perk the 1c, but make it cheap, like 10 perk points to fly.

[AKDejaVu]

Pyro.. a suggestion..

before experimenting with perking the F4u-1C... make it land based only.  Should close the perk point gap considerably.

HOW CAN THE 1C BE PERKED!

Well over 200 of them flew in ww2.

What will the complainers move on to next?

Now that the hog is gone im sure we will all hear Spit Dweeb Spit Dweeb again

Seriously the first perk should be the 262.

Why? No prop drag, torque or prop to model.
Would it not be cheaper,easier to model?

Start out with the best make it hard to get and give it  the lowest  multiplier of all the perk planes

thank god.

was getting to where every plane in the sky was an f4u1c at times.

N1k should be perked along with the CHOG as cheap perks of 20 points would be fair.  

Finally, no more CHOGs all over. it was getting out of control =)

Beurling,
Pyro isn't talking about perking the F4U-1C because of anything the "1C whiners" might have said.

The Perk point system is based around how often an aircraft/vehicle/boat is used.  The more it is used, the more it is worth when it is shot down.

Now the F4U-1C is so common that it is distorting the perk values.  Pyro said that he didn't want the range of points to be that large, e.g. the F4U-1C would have to be worth so many points when compared to something like the C-47 or C.202 that it will cause problems within the perk system.

What Pyro said has nothing to do with how good the F4U-1C is or is not.  It only has to do with how often it is being flown.

I, for one, would welcome this.  It is not because I can't handle F4U-1Cs (they are easy kills generally) but rather because I like diversity in the MA and the F4U-1C is REALLY hurting diversity right now.

Tac,
The N1K2 is not flown often enough, yet, to distort the system.

This is awesome :-) Thanks Pyro!

It's the combo of the inherent qualities of the F4U with 20 mm(Which is a very good, but not a superplane, as many of the more fanatical whiners claim) PLUS the fact the CHog is the best general AC for Jabo work and tank busting  PLUS the fact that the CHog is one of only five fighters enabled from the CVs that was making the CHog a ridiculously large # of sorties.

We don't have the same scoring data as we did for previous tours but I'm sure the kill % of the CHog of total kills has been even worse this tour.

[PakRat]

Perk 'em all. Let God sort 'em out.

Beurling, there were 1,435 N1K1's built and their not even used as much as the F4U-C. There were 3,382 Ki-84's built and their not even on the game. I don't think it's a bad idea to perk the F4U-C just do to the fact that it wasn't very common. I meen man if there were 200 F4U-C's and were using that as a reason, there were 300 Me 163's built. They should be like flies on here.

I think you misunderstood me. the first part of my post was firmly tounge in cheek.

I would never fly a 1c why ? I think they suck performance wize. Im not a fan of any f4 unless it has crosses on it

The niki saw lots of service killing b29's over japan.

There is always a faction of plane haters.
Who like to knock others choice of ride.
Calling them dweebs etc. I was making light of this.

I  think puting the 1c as a perk is a good idea.
Its a silly idea to have a perk system without a reward.

Agreed.  The 1C has no performance benefits over the 1D, so why perk it?  Because of the guns?  The N1K has 4 cannon as well.  Because of the roll rate?  The 190 rolls better than the 1C.  Because it can take damage so well?  The P47 is more robust (but not as fast on half a wing   )

The 1C currently bears Marine Corps markings.  Fine, make it a Marine 1C with no tailhook ... make it a land-based aircraft ONLY.  That will probably cut the number of 1C's in the arena overnight!

No need to perk it IMHO.
