I've said it once, I'll say it again. Perk everything except the P40B.

Or the spit 16 or la, name your plane..... I agree this point has to be taken and equalized in the game, isn't that what perks were made for. If the 262 were flown too many people would be flying jets, the prop guys wouldn't have a chance etc.

Ledpig, to boil this down, you chose to fly a certain plane, and all those other guys also chose to fly certain planes. What you're saying is that all those other guys should have to fly something else, because you think they should.

How exactly does one rationalize that logic?

That is  a first.  I love that ride for the fact you can do a lot with a little bit of ammo. DON'T PERK IT.:huh :cry :(

Yep, its only real weakness. Of course, it simply...to get kills, you have to fly up the bad guy's butt..........and shoot your way out from the inside. :D

The Yak seems like another ride that is spawned too much like bunny rabits in mating season. Guess i should just go to AVA or wait for the combat tour thing to start up to go against a more varied demographic of planes instead of everyone flying the same thing. I guess if i can't beat em i should putz around in my la or spitfire, there's so many i'm about to just give up. I guess in a few years the game will be an all spitfire simulator like falcon 4, it'll be nothing but spits and la's and a bunch of guys flying around in those manueverable little easy rides that are easy to master as soon as you jump into the game. Yep we'll just be flying around furballing and every other aspect of the game will be gone then it'll just be the same boring matchup with nothing else to go against. AH the spitfire simulator kinda like IL2 with fewer planes available.:O

Sorry, in ToD or AVA you will see actually a LESS varied demographic of planes. In them MA you will find most planes, though of course that 44/45 rides do way outnumber the rest. Everbody will "fly the same thing" at a given time, for example in an AVA or ToD 1943 setting just P38, P51 / Fw190A, Bf109G6. I wouldn´t call that "variety".

Not from my perspective.  I only go up against another Yak flyer on occasion, and I love those fights using equal planes.  I remember fighting a 9T with my 9U, and the skill of the 9T pilot was amazing considering he had that 37mm tater gun to lug around.  I go my butt kicked before help came along and I got him back.

Again, I love that plane for its small but deadly ammo load and it's agility, but I am by no means very good at flying it.  It still has enough drawbacks for it to not be perked. One main fact about it is that there are a few planes I can turnfight the Yak with, but most (especially Spits, A6m's, Niks, F4U's, Ponies, and sometimes the P38) I lose against.

As far as how the Yak does against bombers, lets just say the 9U seems to be great if your a pyromaniac.  The 9T will eat up a Lancaster, but again, there's not enough ammo for the formation, so the buff pilot gets to go home.

I've just watched ledpig stats ... it's obvious his problems are not perk related.
