1 in every 3 planes... is ether a spit of two models, a lala, a p51 or a niki.
So? I remember when that could almost be chalked up to one plane, the F4U-1C, not five. That seems a marked improvement.
And what would you suggest to fix it? You perk those five and all you do is push people into another group that will take a disproportionate number of the sorties.
Perk the P-51D, Spitfire Mk XVI, La-7, N1K2-J and Spitfire Mk VIII?
Then will you be whining about how common the Typhoon Mk Ib, Fw190D-9, Hurricane Mk IIc, F4U-1D and Spitfire Mk IX are? What then? Perk those?
You cannot regulate human behavior like that. That we have five planes making up 30% of the kills is dang good compared to where we have been. People see five planes that are fully competitive (I'd actually talk about the top four as the drop from the N1K2-J to the Spitfire Mk VIII is big).
