I logged on and got the pop up that the sherman had a small perk now. Finally I thought, but when I looked in the hanger I actually laughed out loud at what I saw..... 3 Perks........ LOL..... I'm just saying if your going to perk something PERK it don't make it a joke

I was thinking that a small perk would be at least 10 but 3? I have around 1400 GV perks right now I belive and I uped a sherman, got 8, 1 hit kills and landed around 7.5 more perks in 10 minuits, over 2 more shermans at the current perk for bish in that arena.

I loged onto the other MA and the perk was at 5 but even at that massive price I could still up 280 shermans in a row or more if I got some kills befor I died... Heck anyone can up an M16 at a vulched base, shoot down a plane or 2 and be able to afford a few shemans....

Other players I talked to had similar thoughts about the perk..
For a tank that can kill anything with 1 hit I would say it deserves a lil bigger price. I'll say that this is a step in the right direction but this lil perk is just funny

Flayed I'd have to agree and that was also discussed the day they perked the Sherman.

Anything that regularly can kill a tiger in one ping should be perked equal to, or greater than the tiger.

As a balancing measure, 3 perks is not 'nothing'.
Even a few points keep the C-Hog in check.

C-Hog's are easy meat.

The F4U-4 is not, but I don't see them everywhere I go.

Besides, think of when the Chog first came out. Apparently it made up such a massive amount of the game that even the Ponies, lgheys, and nikis together were outnumbered. By adding a simple 5 perk cost to it, it reduced the number in the arena to a novelty.

Only a bit of time will tell if the perk cost works. Sit back and relax for a while. And pass the popcorn.

3 only because of the ENY multiplier of that time.
Standard cost is a whopping 5.

9 times out of 10 if I come across a Corsair, I'm shooting it down.

I'm definitely a lousy tanker, but even three to five perks is easy to get. Very laughable.

The same can be said for fighters, but you don't see nearly as many Spit 14s(that point's a bit moot though), F4U-1Cs, and/or F4U-4s as you see Shermans.

It's too early to draw any conclusions, but in the first two days since introduction of that small perk, the M4 usage has been reduced drastically (according to stats)

That may indicate that a perk value even that small has an effect. Let's wait a few days more and see what happens.
