One thing that may come with the perk planes, is a new approach to getting kills. The perk planes are fast, and dangerous once at altitude. They can engage and disengage at their leisure. However, they are most vulnerable when they are low and slow such as at takeoff and climb out. The wise perk pilot takes off from a field behind the front, where the action isn't. Thus, the best way to get perk kills in a non-perk plane is to go deeper into enemy territory...sort of a
fighter sweep! 
What I'm getting at, is that perhaps the fighter sweep will become more common, spreading out the action. We may see more historic style engagements as fights become more spread out, involve fewer planes, and at higher altitudes as oppposing "perk hunters" bump into each other. The fighter sweep is also great for dealing with the Ar234. Will this happen? maybe...
Other predictions I have include a rock and roll band bringing peace and uniting our war torn map, but the war still rages for the sheep, and they take to the air in our mothballed AC. Caught in the crossfire, we'll be forced to live underground to avoid all of the rounds, bombs, and smoking aircraft crashing to the ground(ummm....)
