I for one, love it.

I think there would be slightly less whining if the planes were perked, instead of disabled, but you'd have to start off relatively steep (like 7-10ish is a good number I saw elsewhere) for it to have the same effect as if it were disabled.

Something to think over anyway.

I upped, I killed, I died, what new system?

I think my system of real WWII scenarios would be better.

Take Eastern Front air battles, for example...

You have two sides: Germany, and the Soviet Union. There's a rolling planeset, and the planes you can fly depend upon the year the battle took place.

I know that the Combat Theater does this... But seriously, it would completely balance the MA, and would also promote serious flying (not just for perks and score).

But for now, Patch 8 is a good way to balance the MA.

I also love it. The few times that the numbers were getting too far out of whack the La-7s and P-51D suddenly disappeared. It was still possible for us to put up a fight and it didn't degenerate into the 5 hour vulch fest. After about an hour the numbers were back to even and everybody was flying what they wanted to again.

Love it!

Heck I'm far more concerned with what I hear of this weird new collision model.

So like my P38 was unavailible for a brief period. I chose to occupy myself with non-fighter activities. Then boom my rank drops like 600 spots. I mean, whats up with that?
LOL
No complaints here.

Agreed. I'm all for a new perk system. Yes everyone has a ton of Perks, but a month or two burning through those stashes and the perk system would show its true colors.

Realy indifferent about it, but more on the positive.

Btw - I'm above 30 years old....

was kinda curious about the ages of the naysayers...lol

Like it.

I still seem to remember Kweassa calling for the top 6 planes to be perked. Result - the majority of replies were 100% against it.
Funny how times change.
Still say perking them during numbers imbalance is not the answer, just leaves total newbs at an even bigger disadvantage than they already are.
OK we could reset all perks at the start of each tour, then you think theres whines now, batten down the hatches.

IMO this is what will happen will current system-
1) Newbs or Squads who want to fly the low ENV stuff will change countries.
2) They will make new buddies and stay with that country.
3) The arena will balance out more.
4) All countries will be less and less affected by the ENV modifier.

This may take some time but I think it will happen.
