Perk The Wirblewind

[Baitman]

There is a post on this.

DON'T perk my wirble. Stay 1800 away and you will live.

[SuperbKi11er]

I am gunna get grief for this but i, personally, hate the wirble. It sucks ammo and is really hard to aim. I prefer the M-8 (yes i mean what i type i kill planes in m-8s) or Ostwind.

Split your triggers fire only 2 cannon until you see hits then open up. Best to turn tracers off too.

the indestructible hull gun makes things a little irritating.

I can't ever remember loosing the hull gun on the osti either  good point

come to think about it I don't ever remember loosing the hull gun in any of the GV's

In the rare times that I've been in a GV, I don't think I've ever been Driver Wounded either.

Lower ENY for sure, perk a big NO.

 I disagree.The main guns are actually very easy to disable..The MG is a different beast though..

Fear the Osti

So is the Ostwinds main gun. But lower ENY in Wirbel is IMO justified because:

It's more dangerous to slug it out with a Wirbel using guns only
It's actually much easier rack up a huge number of kills quickly in a Wirbel
And most important: Wirbel is twice as effective vs towns as a Ostwind. It's a favourite and very dangerous hording tool vs towns abrely touched by any ENY limits now.

Agreed but I think since it has been brought on the game, the game is now played a little different. On TTues I waited for the VH to pop to defend an Abase from a Rook hord(I counted 25+ from the tower on one screen without turning). I jumped out as soon as it popped (1st out), the rooks were ready and had that hanger back down within 15 seconds. The shear numbers of attackers were able to knock down every GV inside of 2 min. I was gone within 1 but I was able to get quite a few too(8).   

Lowering the ENY would be OK because hording should not happen to a country with more defenders. In this case the ENY for all 3 countries was 0.

I thought the next "Perk the WW" thread was not scheduled until the 12? 
Yep, says right here that yesterdays repeat thread was supposed to be a "B-29" thread

My bad Murdr, the 4th of July cuased some scheduleing problems, I had to merge two "ENY" whines with a "HO" and a "MAP" whine so that I could fit the "PERK this" whines in with the "ARENA LIMITS" whines. I had to cancel the "B29" whine all together and put it on next months schedule. But I may have to rearrange a few things as I believe we are way past due for the "COMBAT Tour' whine, which should be out in "TWO WEEKS', or 14 days which ever comes first.

I will try and do a better job with the memo's.

EDIT: darn it, I totally forgot the hording threads, I'll have to rework this whole thing, I'll send out a memo.

The Wirbel is the best thing to happen to this game since Ive been playing it.

Merh, perk it so the m16 sees the light of day.

[Ghosth]

Xtyger the B25h has at least 3 x the effective range of a wirble.

Secret is going to be shooting several rounds at it from 4k out, by the time you reach 1.5 or 2k you need to be breaking off.

Also helps if someone else can attack from the other side, he can't shoot at both of you at once.
While the Wirble can shoot out past 1600 yards, 20mm's have so much drop at that range that the odds of hitting you are slim.

Now get inside of 1k on one, and yes they will ruin your day for sure.
So the answer is not to change the perk on the wirble, its to adapt tactics that will work without dieing.
