Perk them all.
OK, the early war planes are free but the mid war could cost something like 1-2 perks, and the late war models would be 3 and up (or perk according to ENY value, whatever floats your boat.) Everybody's perk point bankroll would reset at the beginning of each tour. You would probably want to lower the cost of the 262 and the 163 to put it in reach of most players before the last week of the tour. Continue to reward players for flying EW rides with higher perk payouts for kills and of course less perks payed out for flying in the higher perked LW rides. It would only take landing 1 or 2 kills in an early war plane to afford most of the MW planes and maybe some LW planes. Once you have enough perks to fly the plane you want it is up to you to not get killed in it and lose your perks.
Just an idea, I really don't mind the way it is now.
Here ya go...
Start each tour with XXX # of perkies automatically, not so small that if you die 5 times you are back at 0, but not too large to make them seem unlimited. This way they can still take a flight with the late war stuff early in the tour, but will need to land to keep the perk piggy bank from going bare. Be sure to reset every tour, no roll-over perks.
I can see the Last day of the tour just becomes 262 vs 234 for a couple of hours as everone tries to blow their remainign perks.
