Why should the Spit V be perked??  The 190A5 can just extend away from it at will.  and the V's wings are china doll fragile.

Because the A-5 is fairly expensive, and the SpitV pretty well dominates all of the free planes.  They shouldn't be perked on the same level, but the spitV should be a low cost perk.

Keep in mind the only reason the spitV isn't the most dominant spit anymore is because it has 60rpg. The flight characteristics are still UFO-tastic! (TM)

I predict it will be a big player (50% of all kills) in the early war, but I can't see perking it. It will be interesting to fight, though.

I snuck a quick look.

I am worried that this will initially thin the player numbers across time (or arenas) far enough as to make the larger maps unfortunatly unplayable.

Was is just me or has the price of Perk Ride increased dramatically with no change given to the value of killing them?

And this ended up being a downer post, which was not meant. :aok  HTC!

The perks are way off.FW-190 A5 in early arena is 50 perks while P-38G is only 14.
 Is  FW-190A5 three times better then P-38G in AH?:eek:

Looks like Russia did not fight in early war.  There's nothing Russian in early arena.

FM2 is a 1944 plane, sorry.

As for the perks...


*spews drink on screen*

WhaddaHECK?!!?!?

50 perkies for a 190A-5?!?!?!!? 450 for a 262?!?!?!?!

"Inconcievable!"

EDIT: Might it have something to do with the perk multiplier? Is that pushing the cost up?

We have no early war soviet planes. This is why VVS planes are the most requested for filling planeset holes.

Neither of those are early war planes.
