Lower the cost the 262
« on: March 03, 2007, 02:04:34 AM »
Some of us (me included) are horrid fighter pilots that the possibility of flying the 262 more than once every month or two is not high due to the extremely high cost.  I pay to play and fly what I want.  I understand why the 262 is perked because it is a jet.  That does not change the fact that I'd like fly one more often the once every month or two.  They die so easily too that they really arent worth their current cost, unless switching sides to the country with the lowest number of people.  

Please look into lowering the cost of the 262.

So why would you want to fly it more?

A much-welcomed side effect of the ENY & Perk multiplier system.

Your problem with the 262 is that you have no idea how to use it, why should they lower it just because you die every time you fly it?

Maybe rather than ask for it to be reduced you should be asking "How do you fly the 262"?  I, and i am sure many other people, would gladly send you some films of how to use it.

I say keep the perk cost or even raise it.

Ever think of asking "Hey Karaya, you mind going to the DA or TA with me, and help me become a better stick?"    

Wait, "I suck" to most in the game so I MAY not be good.  You know the drill "my rank is too high, so I obviously suck, my Hit % is almost 20% in a fighter.   I'm all mouth and have no skill, although, I've shot down the best the game has to offer."  Scratch that, I'm not who you need to talk to.

The 262 is not meant to be an easy ride. Lowering the cost is just an easy way out. Every one else who flys it has had to pay the price to learn. The TA is a good place to start. Once your more addept you will make less mistakes and the price wont be so much of a factor. Still, every time I lose one it really makes me angry. Especially when its because of a mistake tha could have been avoided. Try saving up enough perks so you can take another one up if you lose the first one.

Ball is right.

The 262 is a devastating WMD in the right hands.  My last run in it I crashed it like a champ (250 perks).  Some tasty low bombers who smartly dove from about 3k to deck as I was lining up my dive.  I should have aborted but I wanted my 10th kill and rtb.

Olds if you work hard in high eny planes you could easily farm 1000's of perks.

i dunno... against bombers above 25k it isnt worth 20 perks... much less 200.  I dont believe it is worth 200 perks but certainly 100+ (I wouldnt want the arena saturated with them)

some guy named Rouen in game told me the ammo is horrid on the 262, so im all for lowering the perk cost on it.

The Ammo is incredible in the 262.  Problem is the ballistics just suck.

Anyways, your not going to see the cost dropped.  The reason you are only able to accumulate about 200 perks a month is because you are flying LA's, Spits and Ponys.  Switch it up.  Instead of the lower ENY above mentioned airplanes, fly their high eny counter parts (LA5, Spit V & 51-B). Airplanes are more than capable, and you will notice a significant increase in perkies

The less we see of this damned plane in the areanas - the better. Save it for the DA and special events.
I also hope HTC would model flame-outs and engines bursting into flames for this plane.

btw, did I mention I don't like it?

No, no, and no.

You want to fly jets, fly good perk earner aircraft. Get out of that Nik or other late war monster. EARN those perks the hard way, killing stuff in a plane thats harder to kill with!

Wouldn't bother me if 262 prices actually went UP to 500.
