I have a fantastic idea.  How about we leave things exactly as they are, with perhaps a minor reduction in the cost of the Ta152 and F4U-4?  Frankly, the more I see people throwing out ideas on rolling perksets or date-based perking or formulas for performance-based perks, the more I realize that what we have in place right now really works for the most part.  Sure, Spit XVIs and La7s show up in abundance, but if you remove those from the equation, you'll merely replace them with P-51s and Tiffies.

It's not broken.

this would be a good thing............wonder if it is possible?

I'd vote for that as well. But I think both these planes should be half their current price.

The F4U-4 is just too expensive for a plane with only 6 .50's - it may be faster than the La7 above 10K, but it sure don't outclimb it, and it sure don't have the guns.

And the Ta152 ... well ... sucks, though if it were half the current price it would see duty going after those high-alt bombers I'm sure.

All this discussion of perkpoints doesn't get the basic problem.

During wwII there built about 60 TA152th and only 3 of them were in flight.

How many F4U-4 were built and flown.

Perking means that there shouldn't fly hundreds of last wwII planes. Make things a bit more realistic.

If you got no skills a unperked F4U-4 doesn't make any better.

This game would be much better without all this late wwII planes.

Get rid of LA7, Spit16, Tempest, 190-D9, 109-K4 and what ever came not earlier than jan. 1944. With that point u only have to perk the jets and all works fine.

... and then add some more perks if needed for überperformance and overusage !

Then also combine the separate perk categories into one! make it possible to earn perks in GV:s and spend them in planes etc.



I think HTC is trying to gain more customers, not drive them away.   Dumbest idea I have ever heard.  :rofl  Just because you can't fly your ride why punish people who can.   I know a few P-40 pilots that can out best most other planes.  If they can do it no reason anyone else can't. :aok

spit16....i rather wonder why it was introduced somtimes,..it is a fine plane with many atributes, yet it lacks in range, bomb load, so I usualy stay away unless in primary base deffense, where it does have a decided advantage, i love the D9 and fly it alot,... so when the 16 came out i thought"dang! this thing rolls like murder!, and it can turn....JOY*"
after a few flights though I was back to plugging away with the FW's 47's and 109's...its a beginers plane like most of the spits, and in a great pilots hands its almost untouchable, but so is the LA, hey perking really does seem like a well thought out viable option, but if HTC doesnt im not gonna lose any sleep.:o

All this perk this and perk that talk is a waste of time.

Flying midwar planes like the D11 for instance.  Managed to shoot down more spits, La7s, and N1Ks then shot me down in a P47D11.

How you ask?  Well...standard tactics for every fighter Pilot.  Fight your fight not the other Pilots fight.  Use what your aircraft gives you, don't ask it to do something it can't.  How many times have you seen a countryman try to fight in the vertical with a 109 or 38 and they're in a P51?  Bet lots of times.  Bet you saw the 51 lose too!

All planes that are being named as "should be perked"  go down when you hit them with cannons or machinegun fire.  Learn the nuances of the game.  Don't be baited into a fight.  Fight your fight not theirs.  If you know you can't win why fight?  Extend and comeback or leave the scene of the upcoming accident (yours) Press the fight on your terms don't be suckered into theirs.

IMHO only thing that shoud be perked are the  262 and 163.  All the prop planes in this game are beatable buy the others.
