Good thing that Spit XIV is perked.

Sheesh, a 1.17 K/D ratio on a perk plane, and an expensive one at that.

[Greebo]

Thanks for compiling this TimRas, would be interesting to see a similar chart based on kills/time.

Slow planes and planes that climb like a brick will have much lower kills/time. Also, planes with low-altitude peak performance will have higher kills/time. That'll save you some of the suspense.

Tempest boys seem to know what they're doing...

 Bet that has a lot to do with selecting it by mistake when upping at a vultched field. I watch one poor dude up at least 10 times at a field once. I finally sent him a private message that he was upping in a spit 14 and well ya I vulched him a bunch of times first but hey mistakes are painfull for a reason. So you remember not to do it again.

[RTSigma]

Not surprised by the La-7's record.

[DoKGonZo]

FW drivers also seem to have their excrement conglomerated.

Should there be a confirmation dialog for taking a perk plane?

Or is that too much hand holding?

[Urchin]

Probably to much hand-holding, but it still is a pretty good idea.

[GRUNHERZ]

I wonder what impact perking the 3 gun LA7 would have.

[Urchin]

Not much, if any.  It is slightly harder to get kills with the 2 gun loadout, but people don't fly the La-7 so they can get kills, they fly it so they won't get killed.

[moot]

orange text before or after take off giving perk price (about) to be paid.

7. Fw190D-9.......16842....9918....4.87....1.70

The facts dont seem to bear that out since LA7 has a noticable advantage in the number of total kills compared to the next highest plane.

Or should I ask instead which planes are actally flown to get kills?

[Urchin]

If someone is just looking for kills they'll up a spit or nik.  Just because someone flies the La-7 so they won't die doesn't mean they'll never get any kills.  

The only real meaning I can see behind the La-7 being in the top spot kill-wise is there are a lot more ******* flying AH than ever before.
