something good can come from the perk system

[lazs]

Yep... It's possible that with the idiotic perk system the fights will be lower and bigger.   The dream planes and the anal dipshits who will fly em are best at high alt sneak up and run away tactics or catching someone alone, away from the crowd.  Jet day in WB is a good example.

It won't take long for the masses to realize that high alt is unhealthy and not being in a crowd is too big a chance to take.

So, fly low, fly furball and avoid the cowardly perk pile its.  Let em play with themselves.

What Yeager? Even more separation between the men and the girls? How am I supposed to see my targets from 40k high if they all down low and slow?

FWIW Fscott,

If the perk system pulls a darwin and eliminates Lazs from the virtual gene pool I wont cry the tears of a clown.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

The following are cut from another post:

I don't know where you guys have been playing but if you want the "Furball 'O' Matic" it is on here. What the h... are you guys talking about really. Every time someone tries to take a base there is a fur ball over it. Sometimes BIG BIG ones with no way of avoiding a fight. It sounds like what you don't like is not having the advantage and having the guy getting away. Oh no that's terrible. If your talking about individual encounters one on one then that's life on AH sorry. Go up at that field that's getting attacked and jump into the middle of it. I really like to see a guy fly a plane to it's fullest even if that means he wins or gets away. I salute them. Great fight. You flew your plane smart and well. Anyone that has fought me can tell you I'm not afraid of getting into the middle of it. Just ask Weave, BUG322, Sundog or any number of others. But I tell you what I will try to get the BIGGEST advantage I can before I start. I don't like getting shot down I like to win. The thing that drives me into a disadvantage dogfight usually is boredom. I get tired of waiting for the advantage and say screw it. Some people don't. Oh Well!

TheWobble they don't want to have to think. They want lots of rock'um sock'um action. The Quake 'O' Matic. If it takes more then a minute or two it's frustrating and boring. Instant action. I think Jane's and AW have an Instant Action button. It puts you right in the middle of it right off the start. There you go were back to Jane's and AW. There you go guys. Problem solved. I'm surprised these guys have time to get ANY alt. That takes 3 or 4 minutes. How about this. We all fly around right on the deck. That would be conducive of a BIG plane set. How about this one. Spawn points at 20k. Everyone starts at the same alt 1k apart. It would be like a quick draw contest. Oh wait the Mustangs might dive. Ok, we spawn at vehicle spawn points 500 yards apart and dive around shooting at each other. That would stop those pesky Mustangs. We could even have a smash up derby! Wow I think I should start my own flight sim. I'll call it Short Attention Span Furball 'O' Matic Ace. Man from what I've seen I'll get a lot of takers. Oh no! I posted it. Now HT will use the idea. Oh well!

Lazs!

What did I tell you about not taking your meds!

Obviously the Anti-perkaline 20mg isn't enough. I'm going to up your prescription to 40mg just to be safe.

[Mighty1]

Sorry but I still don't like the perk system.

I still don't think it's right that I pay the same or more than others and they could fly more AC than me.

The only people that benefit from it are the people who have no life that fly 5 hours or more a day.

I think if you are going to make an AC available to one person then all should get it.

And NO it won't be that way with the perk system because if they set the number of points high for a certain AC then only the people who are on all the time will get it.

[Yeager]

I dunno mighty1,

A hundred Me262s flying around nilly willy isnt my idea of personal choice.  I would love to have a Me262 to fight in but I wouldnt want AH to be filled with em on a 24-7 basis.  So what would you do?  Limit the planeset or develope some system allowing everything, with the more exotic stuff (Like F4Us with quad 20s) being made avalable to those that can accumulate and spend capital.

Look at it like this, the perk system is like investing in mutual funds.  Play your cards with some smarts and you accumulate wealth.

Just wait to see whether you can be successfull in a point accumulation system rather than denouncing it outright before it has been fully implimented.

[Wanker]

Lazs, your Jet Day example from Warbirds doesn't hold water, because anyone could jump into an ME-262 on jet day. So, the skies tended to be full of jets. Whereas the only ones flying the jets and perkies in AH will be the ones with the points. The number of perk planes in the air at any one time wil be small. Another difference is that on Warbirds jet day, you could replane immediately back into your jet when you died. Ain't gonna happen under the AH perk system.

HTC will be able to fine tune the perk system, adjusting points levels to ensure that the skies won't be full of perk planes all the time.

Once again, another paranoid Lazsism that can't stand up to the test of common sense and logic.

[lazs]

yeah..."smarts" like camping on line or bombing the grunt factory?   Mutual funds?  LOL!  

Quake?  play long enough and you get a "powerup" or "rocket pack" uber plane??   Seems the perkies are the quakers to me.   They don't want to fight with planes of equal abilities.   Gotta have and edge.  

There may not be any more seperation between the "men and the girls"  The girls may still come down to take a dainty little feminine kick at the men down there but hey..... I was just tryin to make the best of a bad situation.  

I can understand how some would like to fly the unimportant fantasy, quake, low production, uber rides.... I just can't understand why they want to fly em against lesser planes.   Character flaw is all I can think.
lazs

[lazs]

banana you may be right... I was only really refering to the fact that jets were just a pain in the butt and made flying that day more work than fun... you could avoid em but it just wasn't worth the effort.   better to just log and wait till the planeset was evened out again.    With the idiotic perk system, it seems assured that the sky will allways have some dipshit in a perk ride and... that the people you would least like to see in em will be the ones in em.  They reward boring and cowardly behavior thus making AH less fun.

As for another "paranoid lazsism that doesnn't hold water"   Maybe... but, can you name even one other one?

Yeager you crack me up... someone who (cough) "fights" in a p51 is assuring me that perk planes will be fine, a good thing even.   I'm sure that most who have been around P51's have not missed the irony.  
lazs

jim... we all like to win.  We all take whatever advantage we can get but.... The quality of the win is everything.   I'm sure you will admit that there is no point in a "salute" from either party when you blow someone away who is at the fridge.   The very best fights for everyone are the nail biters.  
moose... why anyone with your sharp wit would pick a handle of a super dumb bovine is beyond me.

wank... again, a truly baffling handle.

You can pound it in their heads over and over and over and over, but these thick-headed crybabies still do not understand that the perk system is not meant so that everyone gets to fly the best planes. You know what, you don't get to fly a perk? TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO OOOOO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAA AAAAAD!
