most of that is true, but i'd qualify it by saying speed is always relative, so you do still have hot rod runner rides in MW.



As does the EW ... but there is a better balance ... the MW hot rods don't really have an overwhelming advantage over the middle tiered planes.

Click the ENY label in the hangar.  Look at the planes around 25.  Fly the one you like best.  Or if 25 is too high for you, lower it a bit.

:rolleyes: ... yeah ... the MW doesn't have the La-7/Spit XVI/N1K2/P-51D/190-D ... you know ... the hot rod runner rides ... so it's either you can't survive without using one of those rides ... or you flat out don't know what you are talking about.

It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out how to rack up fighter perks ...

You fly HIGH eny planes ... and shoot down LOW eny planes = many perks.

The reason why you don't have a lot of perks is probably due to what you fly and the equation is reversed ...

You fly LOW eny planes ... and shoot down HIGH eny plane = minimal perks.
i only fly like nikkis, spit 16's and la7's if a base is capped and its pissin me off, or if someone else is pissin me off and i just want sweet revenge  :devil. otherwise i stick to my hog for the most part, other night i was flying the a6m2 though.

G2 in my opinion is the best perk farmer.  In fact, I think it is in the top three non-perked fighters for dogfight, but then again I'm somewhat new, so this is just MHO.

I've always wondered why folks have such disdain for the A6M...  It really is a fantastic aircraft, especially in a furball.  I'll take a zeke over a Spit in a furball, anyday.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE PLANE for furballing.

there's nothing really, that can or will outturn it in verticle, or horizontal, at the low speeds that furballs happen at. even at moderate speeds, i was able to stay with firedrgn the other night as he tried to pick me in his f4u....i even put a few rounds in him before i had to pitch the nose down.

 like i mentioned before, acceleration is much more important in these types of fights than top speed......and the zeke accelerates very very nicely, back up to a good fighting speed. i like the 5b, because it's much faster than the 2. the 2 however, seems to handle much better in low speed fights than the 5b.

 unfortunatly, if someone gets a round anywhere near my zeke, it catches fire. funny thing about that, is that when it's me on fire, i try to rtb, just to rob the shooter of his kill  :devil. i'm only 2 miles from the base in the furball, and never make it. the wing usually fails before i get there.
 yet, when i ignite another zeke, they seem to fly forever....... :noid

Yep, have close to 100k perks just waisting space.  I could make a lot of money selling 1k blocks of perks for $100.

ack-ack

Yes but AH perks are completely worthless in game and on the markets. Now if you had 100,000 of WoW gold, that would be something.  :D

well, like i said.....ya jast have to be careful to keep checking our six.

 although i've been converted to roman candle status more times thani like to admit, my overall success with the zeke in those madhouses we call furballs(friggin LOVE em!) has been great.

 i do ok in em in any of the spits except the 16, and i do ok in a hurri(and no i don't ho....usually). i thought i was getting better in the hellcat furballin, but have been having a run of bad luck in that one, so i tend to use that for more of an energy type fight right now, or killing buffs.

yes it does.  Any plane that can be flown in fighter mode has the perks going to fighter perks.  If that was true all your perks under attack would go no where as we don't have an attack perk section.
