Plz correct me if I'm wrong....

"The 10-hours-a-day-guys racking points: take-off, kill, die, take-off, kill, kill, die ..."

 I take this as you don't like it that someone else has points or someone else has the time to be onlien to get the points? Why would anyone want to penalise another person because that someone can play more than others?

 It's just a fact of life in that some folks can play all day and some can play once a week. Life's not fair and neither should be online WWII aircombat.

 I vote for not turning AH into a socialist community. Next folks will call out for handicapping the really good pilots because they shoot down too many people.

 Most importantly, don't make the error of thinking that alot of Perk points is the same as having alot of aircombat skills. It doesn't work as simple as that.

 Joe Bloe might have 1,000 perk points but might only be an average (at best) fighter pilot who is not suddenly going to be the scrourge of the skies in an ME-262 or P-47M.

Anyway, lets wait and see.

Gatt, its the targets he's hitting, not the time he's spent online.

Another point too is, perk points carry over from tour to tour, you always acquire them, and you never lose them until you lose the perk A/C.

Hey guys cool down   Everyone knows that I'd like to see a good RPS and not a perk-system. But I can be wrong and probably I have not understood the whole system. So I wrote: LETS WAIT AND SEE. No witch-hunt eh Westy?

Creamo has a point : Whether(sp?) I see Hblair in a Me262 or a C202 , I'll still cr*p in my pants !

Aztec, I'm a poor Dweeb, yet managed to get 400 points+, that means anyone can do it (Even Swager in his bbgun cart!   ).

 My apologies Gatt. My post comes across harsher than I'd intended. The first half would be more from me to you, with the seconds half (re: socialist community..) being more for the general reading audience. In most of the online sim/games I play or played too many people wanted things to be "fair." The very nature of what we do here is not. Artificiallly inject fairness only serves to choke those that would excel while giving the average or poor in ability a false boost.
