preliminary perk wish list 1.06

[Nath-BDP]

D9 perked means also P51D should be perked.

You people must be thinking of the Ta 152.

[Naso]

Agree with Nath, D9 have to be a non perked plane (probably will be a porked plane  ), like the spit.14.

My perk wishlist

US: F4U1C  , F4U4, P80(Yes!!), B29(with superperked A-bomb  )

GB: Meteor,Late Spit model, Tempest (maybe, or maybe not)

LW: Ta152, Me262, Ar234, He162, Me163.

ITA: Do you really think to perk an Italian plane??

JPN: Niki!!, KI84, Okha!

CCCP: Yak3/vk107, Yak9/UT, LaGG.7(??)

[Hans]

The only Russian plane I can think of that was a real super plane would be what Naso mentioned.

A Yak-3 with the VK107 engine.  Most Yak-3s had the same engine from the Yak-9, a VK105.

A Yak-3 is supposedly more manueverable than a Zero, yet is capable of 400mph speeds in level flight at 10,000 feet.

The only Japanese perk plane I can think of is the J4M Raiden, or their copy of the Me262 called the Kikka (even though their jet engines stunk).

Perk Planes.

Bearcat
Tigercat
P-80 shootin star
Me262
Me163 Komet
Heinkel 162 Salamander
Arado 234
Donier 335 Pfeil
Tempest
Gloster Meteor
J4M Raiden
B-29
Yak-3 w/Vk107 engine

Would A-26 Invaders be perked?

Hans.

Yak-3 & LA-7, the VVS has been so overlooked in planesets on every build. Why is that??

Cleaner, I seem to remember similar questions being asked in the past.  Most of the time the answer revolved around available flight characteristic information.

Of course, I could be mis-remembering... but it is a serious consideration for anyone generating the flight model.

Perk the CHOG and the me-262... and all the others Zigrat proposed. =)

Before adding any more late war fighters, I'd suggest HTC add early war planes like the P-40 and the P-39 (and any other from other countries.. I'd love to see some French and other european fighters here) AND adding variants of the existing planes (aka, JU-88 cannon/torpedo, P-38M, and any other variants of other planes).

Please, Please! Do not "perk" the Ki84!

Just because it can arguably be considered the best Japanese a/c flown in WWII should not make it a candidate for perk status.  Compare its performance figures to some of the other a/c proposed as perks - it falls well below the Spit XIV, Tempest, F4U-4, P-47M, P-51H and Ta-152 or Me262.  

The Japanese planeset is pitifully small in AH.  I would much rather see the Ki61, Ki84, Ki100, and J2M3 added and perk the Niki if you must have a Japanese perk.  The N1K2 did not see nearly as much combat as the Ki84 did.   The Japanese also need a level bomber and carrier strike aircraft.

After some consideration, I don't agree with the "every country must have a perk" proposal.  I would rather see perk status conferred by performance alone.  The Japanese just didn't produce an aircraft that could compete with the proposed German, US, and British perk a/c,  so any Japanese perk is bound to sit collecting dust in the hangar while the perk pilots choose the hotter rides offered by  other countries.
