Quick Little Tip...
« on: June 14, 2008, 10:28:01 PM »
Make sure you have at least twice the necessary amount of perk points before upping a 262.:mad:  Upped one for about 170 points today, got shot down, towered with 15 fighter points left to my name. :frown:

Long time ago I upped a 262, died, lost all my perks. I decided right then and there to save up my perks so it never happens again. Well, here I am 1 1/2 yrs from that day, and I have 4500 fighter perks that I never use now.  :lol

Lawn darts.  I made a crater in the ground 100' wide going after a goon, tongue hanging out of my mouth.  Goon driver must have been in hysterics.

First time I flew a 262 it cost some 300 plus points.  I had enough points, so I got one and up I go. 

I was going to be a picking son of a gun.   

There I am about 10,000 feet when I see a con below.  I say to myself "there is my first victim".

Nose down, throttles on full, and in for the pick, or I believe Cherry Pick is the correct terminology.

At 500 mph plus I go by guns a blazing and straight into the ground.  Sitting in the tower I could just see the guy laughing.   

I had to good laugh myself, even if it was at my own cost.

After a time, you'll have so many perk points you won't know what to do with them. I know of one guy who would ditch 262s on purpose just to keep this total low but that seems like too much work to me.
