Or perk the heavies.
« on: August 23, 2007, 09:12:29 AM »
Tiger is the best tank most of the time right?

262. 163, Twmpest, Spit 14, Perked F4U etc all good planes right?

234?

If we havent got and are not getting a decent perked Bomber eg Proper mossies, B29 simply put low perks on the Heavies in this order high to low:

B24 3 Perks, Lanc and 17 2 Perks, B26 1 Perk otherwise its all a bit pointless:rolleyes:

Go EW and you can spend your perks on the Lancaster.

LOL, you're one too talk...you shot down two of my Lancasters in EW with your 190A5 o' Death.

Granted I did a split-S in the last one, even had too dip a wing to avoid trees, and you let the last one go.

Sooo, along that same logic.

We don,t have or aren,t getting a decent perked attack boat,we should perk the PT boat?

Perk the buffs?

Why? Just because they're not perked?




I must be missing something here,

Why?  Why perk these planes, that can't turn, or actually dog fight.  No need the 234 is perked for the speed.  The 24s 17s ect ect were a large factor in WWII.  Very common planes.  If you perk these planes then you'll have 50 guys in A20 droping bombs on you.  Perhaps some day HTC will add a better perked bomber (B29 No nuclear bomb load out of course)  

Just my 2 cents.

Ever been dive bombed by a heavy or have a heavy atack a GV.

Perks aren't taxes    ;)

Lancs were the best heavy bomber UK could come up with and lots of raids were made in the war by JU88, Boston etc which represent the many 2nd line older types.

I think Perks are designed to create variety and more realism  :D

let's just perk everything made after 1942 (arbitrary number there)


perk = more likely to bring it home = more realism = less Lancstukas on CVS and kamikazee ord porkers and bomb&bailers
