Plead to Htc Perk these planes

[LEDPIG]

It seems to me that the perk point system was organized to keep certain equipment in order in the game I.e. the 262 so it would'nt end up a jet game. What's going on with these La's, spitfires, Yak's N1K's and 5 million other planes that are out of hand. I fly a whole sorte sometimes and that's all i see. You perk some of the corsairs fine, you perk the jets, fine but you don't perk the spit 16 what's that all about. There's so many of em that i get in one sometime just to mix it up with them. When i joined Htc i thought this was a WW2 sim with an equal distribution of combat along all lines of engagement, what happened, i look down there from my 38 or 47 and look at a whole engagement of nothing but Spits La's and N1k's. When i get engaged and do my E fighting on them they complain that i'm not fighting the way they want. What's a noob to do? Obviously some would say learn to fly or get another plane, but some of these planes, the performance is just not going to be equal i don't care what you do, due to just plane physics, so you have to employ them as you see fit, then you hear people cryin about it. Will Htc even up the demographic or just plain create another arena where it's more controled?

Go fly in the AvA.  There you will find historic adversaries. But you'll probably B***H about getting spanked by B&Z 109 and 190s in your early 38/47.
Perk the la7 and spit XVI and they will jump in Tiffies and MK VIII.
Then what... you still wont catch the tiff or out turn the Mk VIII.
I know what will  make you happy... HT let you run around in your late model 38/47 while the rest of us fly MK I spits and 109 e.

Try flying the way you fly and to hell with what the turn and burn crowd have to say.

OHHH the bad man in the spitfire called me a lammer cause i wont turn fight with him .

Pffffffffffffffffffffff. How does this effect you. Why should you care what he thinks. He isn't paying for you to play AH.

Here is a trick if you are thin skinned and this REALY bothers you .  TURN OFF 200.

Spit XVIs are often flown by people who dont  understand what the planes can and cannot do. Learn what the weaknesses are, and take advanatge of them. As has been said many times before, the SpitXVI is a 1943 plane optimized to low alt fighting. Dont play their game....

I kill many more XVIs than kill me. The last time I died to one, it was because I got busy trying to finish an enemy low below the nits FT base. When a XVI whizzed down the hill to the water, latching onto my 6, it was NOT because the XVI is an unbeatable foe that needs to be perked.

It was because I screwed up.


Yeah, once he got behind me his capabilities meant I couldnt get him off unless he made a big mistake. But my death was 100%, totally MY FAULT.

An object lesson that might be good to take to heart.

the spit16, despite being uber, is only a mk9 with clipped wings and a merlin 266. technically it's only a 1942/1943 plane. there are american rides that are so much faster, do everything better, but they arent perked. they are how they are for a reason, and i dont think HT will be perking anything soon;)

 Ignore them & do whatever you want to do. Most people only get pissy when they lose, so the more pissy they are with you probably means they got shot down by you.

 If they can't prevail in a situation where they are getting B&Z'd is that your fault? Of course not.

 As long as you (or they) aren't manipulating the software or doing something else that can be considered cheating, don't worry about it. Pick your fights; tune out channel 200, & refresh your memory as to where the "quit" button is & you'll enjoy the game a lot more.

 As far as perking one ride or another - I don't see where the spit-16 is all that. The LA-7 is fast, but can be caught & flamed. The Nik, well; it has a lot of cannon rounds. It seems to me if the LA - Nik - & Spit16 were perked, then less noobs would fly them & it would give the guys with a lot of  skill & perkies near exclusive use of a plane set that only makes them harder to kill. All these planes do in my hands is to give the guy I'm fighting more points.

 Maybe HT should get Skuzzy to just assign rides that you have to fly for the entire tour  I could just see myself in a P-40 trying to fight the likes of Shawk in an LA-7 or Lev in a Nik or Hoarach in a Spit-16

 At least it would stop the "get out of the ****** and fight me 1v1" if a guy is ripping you apart in a P-40 & your flying an LA-7, well it's a pretty good bet he's just better at this game.

and the P47N, which does 460mph+, flies forever, carries 3400 rounds of ammo, and only served in the very last year of the war... remains unperked.

forgot the 20k of bombs and 300 rockets it can carry

PERK THE SPITFIRE!!!

Sooo ... let me get this straight.

You want to perk all the planes that kill you consistently ... BRILLIANT !!! ... what a novel concept ... I have never seen this brought forward on this BBS before.

[Airscrew]

ya gotta give points though, I dont think I've ever heard someone request the Yak to be perked

[killnu]

sorry slap, but i missed in that post where he said anything about them killing him.  just that those are the planes he see's all the time.

are american rides that are so much faster, do everything better, but they arent perked.

Please tell me one that does everything better.

[LePaul]

So anything that kills you, you want perked?

Perk TREES!

Yes, his credibility suffered with that one.

No need to perk the popular planes, nor create a separate arena. The only thing flawed here was your assumption.

[LEDPIG]

No i want the ground perked lol ,but really i guess what i'm saying is maybe an arena more like an expanded axis versus allies where you can see more of the historical opponents and see a wider array of planes spread out across the board. I do get killed by these planes but usually when play i their game. Their just seems to be a preponderance of one type and i don't get to engage alot of others. The other day i got to engage Hawco in a p-40 b against a p-38j in a long engagement in the MA that seemed to last for hours without being interupted he was good and i enjoyed fighting that particular plane for a change, it was a lot of fun. It wouldn't be right to perk a plane just because you get killed by it, i recognize the right of people to fly it, i just see the one type of planes so much is all.:

P40 against P38. Now that's an even match up.
