Pe-8 wasnt later war bomber. It came to service in 1941.

Well thats why I said Leter as opposed to late, since an aircraft introdued in 1941 is obviously later than one already technically obscolete by that time.

Perk a Spit V with 4x20mms...why?

Considering it's being downgraded to 12lbs 1942 levels this would make it the ONLY perked 1942 plane in the game.
Every other perked plane is late war, ie. 1944/45
LUDICROUS.

If you want to perk for specific reasons then apply those reasons to the whole planeset and not single out 1.
In which case 30mm should be an instant perk etc.
Not so keen on it now I bet.

Of course best perk a Gladiator because of its great manoeverability, gets ridiculous.

Kev obviously didn't note the title of this topic

No, I noted the topic.

Planes perked because they're rare?
New one to me.
F4U-C was not perked because it was rare.
3 cannon Lala rare - not perked.

In fact the only rare plane I can think of that is perked is the TA-152 (70 or less seen combat).

So your whole premise about planes perked for rarity seems to be flawed.

By your logic a Gladiator would be perked because it was rare in WW2, hell even a Swordfish would be a candidate for a mild perk.

C 205, I believe, was pretty rare. It is not perked.

Add the Brewster to the list, add the FINNISH Brewster to the perk list.

What do you think the perk on this bad boy would be?

Uberhun, the Do335 barely made it to production and did not make it to any units. We'll never see it in AH.

cashrc: I included the brewster on the list

Does anybody remember a plane that had a mid-engine, actually behind the cockpit, with a driveshaft that drove the prop?

Skilless · « **Reply #40 on:** October 30, 2005, 07:26:27 PM »

Never mind I answered my own question. It was a Bell P-39...
