any thoughts on adding this beauty (me-262)

favorite quote:

"Whoopie. The moment they add the 262, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. And it's not because a Mustang can't outrun it... it's because the only thing that can effectively fight a jet is another jet. The moment jets are introduced, effective plane choices get reduced from X (where X is > 1) to 1."

...or the Ar234 one.

Everyone was screaming how 3 guys in Arados will kill all the FHs.

Well the hangar hardness was different back then right? It was probably a legit fear (just one that nobody ever pulled off).

This was long before the perk system.

so...the perk system acts as a pretty good balancer then?

No, it doesn't... I have enough perks to fly a Me262 endlessly in the arena, and worse yet, I have lost more than 20k perks changing my name in AH so many times. If someone hasn't, they could never worry about perks again...

They need to make perks reset on each billing cycle... until then, the perk system is a 'paper tiger'.
