I'm just curious, but under rule #5 is what kamilyun did considered "trolling"?

Note that if you get shot down you will be charged for all the ordnance that was on the plane. Another cool thing about this is that if you like the heavy weaponry but aren't such a good shot, you will now be able to buy additional perk points with your credit card so you can always get that extra boost if you really want it.

You are kidding with this aren't you? While I see the behavioral modification you're working for, you're gonna make people pay more money to gain general firepower equality? Bad enough, once a pilot earns enough perks he can pretty much stay on top by buying only the best aircraft, now some new guy or lesser pilot might not be able to have even reasonably capable firepower as well. Rich get richer, and poor get poorer scenario and not just in plane availability, but now if you got the pocketbook to back you up...

Hoping I just took bait on a troll.

yes, but the new arena changes mean that no more than 4 of you will be able to fly in the same arena at the same time. it is being implemented to try and prevent the land grab attitude.

Kidding aside, perk ordnance is what it sounds like- the ability to charge perks for specific ordnance loadouts. It means that instead of having the 1C as a separate plane, I can just make 20mm cannons a perked loadout on the 1D and save space. Beyond that, we could offer up some more exotic weapon choices without fear of them overrunning the arenas or having to add separate planes to do them. 57mm on your Mossie, Tiny Tims on your Corsair, whatever. We're not going to do nukes so forget about that. I don't know when this will be done so don't ask.

Thanks Pyro, exactly what I asked for

.

Bring on the 4x20mm Spit !!!

You're both right.

The cannon armed wing subassembly was subcontracted. Whenever a batch came in, a sequence of corsairs was pulled to receive the cannon wings. So, late in the war they WERE -1Ds.

Well, I certainly hope you're all pleased with yourselves. Look how upset you've made poor Rolex.

its not like other games arent already doing something similar.. i think a lil ingame economy would be interesting

1 aspect i'd like to see is an arena where people risk there perks in duels..

i can see perking the guns them selves, but each bullet? lol the newbie/avg pilot here hits a staggering 1 to 6%, they will never get enough
perks to load out. the vets here usually hit between 10 to 15%, and they
will even be pressed to keep up the perks for load outs with per bullet cost.

gona reset everyones perk point totals when this comes out to give all a fair shot?
