Can u plz decribe "perk" to me?

[Naudet]

So far it seems that it means a plane is limited to players that score a certain amount of points.

If this is right, why is HTC practising such a stupid policy on planes, if someone looks at the planeset and wants to fly AH cause his dreamplane is in (like me, why i hope they add a right modeled FW190 D9 soon), just to see that he cant fly it cause he is new, hasnt the points or simply lacks the time and skills to ever get into "his Bird". I believe this is a game and in a game everyone should be able to fly everything he wants, if a plane seems to good or to UBER, simply dont put it in. I recommend this especially to planes that were only used in low number or flew as prototype only, such as the TA 152 or the F8 Bearcat.
But if a plane was flown my multiple squads, it should be added, equal to its performance, in WW2 the pilots were not able to decide which plane to fight or to restrict for war use cause it is to dangerous.
From my point of few, the Spit XIV, the FW190 D9, the KI 84 and the F4U-4 were the best fighters of WW2 but only too are included atm.
I dunno if any Pro-Allied policy is practise by HTC, cause they may be feared that the Spit and Corsair will be wiped out of the sky by its Axis counterparts.

don't worry, if you can't hack it to fly your plane online i'm sure youll be able to fly perks offline!

FYI:
Perk Points is something everyone gets.  Whether you want them or not, you accumulate them.  From tour to tour they accumulate.

I have a radical idea.  Lets just wait until they actually implement the damn thing before we start whining about it.

Lephturn pours himself two mugs of Guiness and lets the "fall".  Hey Rip I think the fire is almost ready.

Perk is generally when their AoA is >0.

Take a look again.  None of those fighters are included in the current AH planeset.

We have the Spitfire MkIX, not the XIV
We have the F4U-1D and 1C, not the 4A.
We have the N1K2-J which isn't even of the same lineage as the Ki84, but at least it has the same engine.
And, of course, you know we don't have the Fw190D-9.

There's some confusion here.
The photo-example of a perk, while certainly a nice ride (some would call it über, others would insist it be porked before the next patch), has a definite sag that the superstructure can only diminish, not eliminate.  It is definitely not "perked"

WD seems to have confused the "silver dollar" or "keychain" phenomenon with the "perk" case.  While both tend to involve lightweight interceptors (as opposed to heavy fighters or BUFFS), "perk" has nothing to do with such caliber-to-weight ratios.  Perk is a measurable phenomenon of the AoA.  Some units come off the line perked, others get perked as the result of field-conversions; it often is added along with a pair of gondolas.

The battle cry of 1.06 will be "perk it or pork it!" as in "The Dora is über: perk it or pork it".

Yuumm ... Guiness and Weenies. Not all of us FDB's ain't got no class.  

[Ripsnort]

Ah, but Exile, I wasn't implanting the notion that you boys had no class, only that I noticed a couple of you did purchase Bud at the con! <S>

"It is definitely not "perked""

Silicon parts are for toy, therefor should not be included as Perk but a small Bonus.

As friction can take its toll, meltdown would follow soon after.

Sry, didnt know Spit 14 and F4U4 were not included, just came back to AH, and still thinking if i will fly.

But than i vote for introduction of all 4 planes, give us the best of the best of the best in WW2 and lets rock.

Perk is when you can hang your keys of them "boy them is perky"
