Real planes weren't perked.
Hmm, pulling the "realism" card while asking that a specific type of plane be further limited, to facilitate the bombing of a single structure which defeats radar for an entire country, over the entire map.
Does this strike anyone else as a bit ironic?
Hub, you have the best posts hands down.
If they spend time turning with you they wont have the fuel to get up to the buffs anyway.
Wrong. The 163's an awsome little turn fighter. A Pony has no chance against it but you can't fly it at full throttle. Managing throttle between about 0-40% will quickly dispatch most threats.
i completely agree, i mean a 163 can only stay up a little and u have 2 climb 2 bombers so buy the time your get up there you only have about a minute of fuel wich when i take a 163 thats only time for me 2 get 2 bombers and pray 2 get home
Wrong. Why does everyone think they need to fly the 163 at full throttle? I can lift a 163, fly 2 sectors, get in a fight and fly it back to the field I started from. I've chased buffs for 4 sectors for a kill at 25-30K and a safe landing. The thing will still climb like a banshee at 30-40% throttle.
Throttle management and accurate gunnery are the keys to the 163 although I guess I'm glad so many are so clueless.
As to a higher perk? Nope. Sorry.
