The heck with a Zeke, grab an IL-2, climb to 15k and go find a fight. That damn IL-2 will do 480+ in a dive and not compress. And, those 23mm cannon will shred anything. I'm just not sure if those wings were swept back before or after the dive....

Thats because all the friggin La7 drivers dont get any alt. They tend to stay on the deck. Like someone is gonna turnfight an lgay on the deck in a 190.

 I would even go as far as to say perk all the late war rides and maybe give newbs a few perks to mess with. Might make the arena a little more fun when its not 5 la7s and 3 spits coming to ho 1 plane.

Morpheus - excuse me for butting in here. ;)

I found it frustrating to have to deal with the same 3-4 types of aircraft hour after hour. The fact that so many folks flew the same 3 planes and ignored the other 67 made me realise that these folks have no interest in what WW2 warfare was about. They just want an arcade shoot-em-up, and the best possible platform from which to achieve it.

It saddens me to see that there is so little interest left in WW2 amongst those who play this game. But that is the cross that I believe HTC must bear by opting for a flat rate pricing plan. It's no longer good enough to have say 500 dedicated guys all paying $2/hr and running up monthly bills of $100/$200/$400 or even more. With a flat rate pricing policy, HTC has to go for every single customer it can get. Unfortunately it's a fact of life that when a game is made available to s**m**s, then s**m***s is what we'll get.  A game that costs only 50 cents a day will inevitably attract a younger element - hence the need for all the language/profanity filtering. For me, the problem with the younger element was two-fold. Besides just wanting a shoot-em-up, they are too young to remember the relevance of WW2. As a post-war baby-boomer, it was my parents' generation that fought in the war. But for the LA7 noobs being complained about here, it was their grandparents or even their great-grandparents that were in the war. For them, WW2 is about as significant as the Crimean War is to me. :(

What's the latest on the ENY balancer? Didn't that take care of the excess uberplanes? Or was it whined out of the game? :rolleyes::lol

first time i played was in a spit1, i saw the 8xbrownings and also drooled.

It's a good thing that I can't search the score boards by plane and post pilot names of those who fly the La7 on a regular basis...what a "Wall of Shame" that would be.

::sigh:: As anyone who has owned a dog will tell you.
Never chase after it.

Remember this saying.

"Pet comes to Master, Master doesnt chase pet"

Turn away. He'll come back.

Just remember to keep half an eye on him.

Then when he comes back.

Ohhhhhhhh, another 'perk the ###' thread!!!



Just fly Hurricane for a tour. Youll stop relying on speed to get kills. And you learn not to start a futile chase. Hell, even bombers can run from a Hurri. That doesnt mean you cant get and land kills in it - turning *and* BnZ.

Eventually, they turn around. If they dont, just look for something else to kill.

Yeah ... perk it ... thats the answer ... that will stop them from running immediately.

Think about it .... they run now without any cost to them ... perk it and what makes you think that they won't run even more when they have something to lose ?

I think that one should have to spend 100 perks to write a post whining about the La-7.

I fly em and I have no qualms about fighting anything that comes at me. Then again being a dweeb I fly just about anything there is.  So please add my name to the wall of shame!

If you can't spell I'll help.... it's R  E  N

or you can spell it as D A M N E D      R E N
 
And anytime you see me be sure to say hi!

Lessee, I think I need to fly a Spit V tonight...maybe a Zero! Naw, I'm kinda partial to SPIT 9S's!!! Wait! How about a Pony? Yak? Forky? Hog? Jug? Darn...I just can't seem to make up my mind. I'm such a dweeb.

Maybe all planes should be perked so you have to learn to fly them before you can fly them. Hmmmm....catch-22? Did I say I was Damned....guess I am!

Honest suggestion...learn to deal with LA-7's. I have just as much fun shooting them down as flying them.

If people spent as much time learning to fly as they do whining about perkies they might become great sticks!
