Perks/smerks. A good example of master perk flyers is in another thread here as we speak. You know the one............where they all up perk rides ....................and get OWNED . :rofl
Leave them alone and they will come home wagging their tails behind them.  :aok
Rank/stank/spank........perks/smerks............furballer/toolshedder..........Fluff/Huff and Puff................weed hoppers/alt monkies...................... Score Hos/Noob`s toes..........Kerosene huffers/Big Ole Fluffers..............Gv drivers/PT hivers..........
Tower sitters/Channel 200 Bull errrrrrrrrrrr well you know. :)
It`s all part of the game and there is always going to be someone gnashing their teeth about something.
If you play for score/rank that`s fine, but you are missing out on the most important part of the game------------->FUN.
HT does a fine balancing act here. Take it from me, because I`ve "been there, done that." Forget about the politics and the teeth gnashing and let HT do what he does better than anyone in gaming history. Just grab what you wanna fly at any particular time and have fun. You are always, always one mouse click away from more fun. IT                  IS                      A                GAME. :rofl

Anything that makes easy planes harder to get...means newer players cant get them, and (with perks systems) veteran players can.

This makes sense because.....?????
Maturity is knowing that I've been an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now

I could get behind this if every map had a FT.  This last rotation of Donut has been exactly what you typed.  It sucks we have to go back to the maps deficiant of a FT and I have to go back to logging in and logging out 5 mins later.

As far as what people fly, Who the Puk CARES.  I with Dan.  I love spanking 16s, La7s and the like so let em keep comming.  :D

If the planes really made all the difference, we'd all be flying them.

Most of the N1K's I see are shooting at cities these days. So I see them as a non-issue.

Spit16's are dangerous because they accelerate so damn well and have the Hizooka's. But Spits are pretty fragile, so they die a lot already.

The La-7 usage would drop off dramatically if the 3-cannon option were removed. You don't see La-5's doing the HO'n'go dance because they don't have the lethality for it.

LOL...Get real, every side has those types...Amazes me when some nugget thinks one country has the monopoly on a certain style of play.
Welcome to Earth...About the only difference between each country is the names on the pilots. Fly a different country for awhile, then you will see those types doing the same stuff that used to be your countrymen.

This sytem would work like our current ENY, except all aircraft would still be flyable, they would just be limited, the more so for lower eny...

ex- 250 players logged on....ENY kicks in and only 30-40 LA's, Niks, ect. are available...If all slots are filled for the aircraft when a player tries to up the LA he would get the "unable to fly" message...His choices would be to either wait in tower and hope to try and up at the right time right after one of the already airborne LA's dies or towers, or he would simply be forced to fly a higher ENY plane with less of a #'s restriction?

i dunno...its late

I would think the only ones that would want this are the ones that have no idea how to fight against a La7 or N1K2.

If I remember right in AW there were spit factories that if destroyed limited the number of spits available to that country.

Why not expand this idea and have spit, la, niki, 109, 51 and 38 factories it would give the buff lovers some strat and make the furballers get up and defend factories.  Then the Buff guys would need escorts which would in turn lead to some hugh battles in the sky.  

Place these factories at least 4 levels back to force long flight times and set back and see what happens :)
