Ban perk planes from the DA!

Now that I have ranted I will add some reasons why in a bit...

Edit: Well let me elaborate a little bit here and revise my position a bit. The only perk plane that drives me nuts is the Tempest. They are easy to kill and the guns are simple enough to avoid. Tempests however walk away from every prop plane in the game on the deck. The one pass extend for 6k seperation and hound you until your out of gas is so old. The Tempest adds so little to furball lake that it border lines madness. Its not a X plane is better than my Y plane ordeal. Its a this is detrimental to fun deal. The F4-U4 isnt flown too much and the CHog/Spit14 are easy enough that it doesnt matter. The Spit 14 is usually pretty good match for the planes I fly which is usually the 51B and P-38G. The Tempest is usually a "first kill" priority for me not because its dangerous. I just hate the way they are flown that much.

IMO, something DOES need to be done about the planes AT FURBALL LAKE.

What would I do? If possible, I'd clear the higher end perk planes (anything above, oh, say 7), disable ord, and enable all the bombers.
What I REALLY don't get is why's the TBM enabled, but not the SBD? I perfer to fight in a SBD...

The Tempest in furball lake has a negative effect. VERY! Few people fly it for FURBALLING, most fly it *griefers* as a BnZ see how many people I can tick off and get my name up in lights (a famous one, Tachyon, aka zerofire) plane...

Imo, if you keep the temp, keep the jets, at least the 163.

Another solution is to have two furbal lakes with different planesets in each.....then see which the masses prefer.

The irony of the comment coming from a member of the squadron that is a major contributor to the 'tard like behavior in the DA.

Perchance a member, but not a partaker.
The irony of your comment is such a veteran member making unfounded, unresearched, personal and squadron attacks.
Why is there alot of "tard" behavior with the aerofighters? Cause most of the 'better' pilots fly Mid War. It's not a hard squad to get into. TA57x is a great guy with a soft heart and he has a hard time turning someone down. So, if you want the REAL aerofighters (the original ones) You're looking at the ones who enjoy FURBALLING and FIGHTING, be it in a zero, or a p38, or my personal favorite to put up against a spit, the p39, Spacy, Dragdad, Warpig, TA57x and I.
So, even if the squad was terrible, what's wrong with someone asking for reform to make it a better place for all?

that's funny, because all I have ever seen from you and the others you mentioned is flying high above the furball and picking those that are already engaged.  No surpise though, considering how easily each of you fall 1v1.

Or better yet...flying zero's and hurricane's into furball thinking they are great pilots.

I have decided a new strategy....hunt them down. Make life miserable for the Tempests in general. Hangem out to dry if they are green....gang em if there red.

Oh....So not only are fast planes bad, but poor-performing planes that turn well are also bad.

So what do you wish the opposition to fly? Stuka with the 1800 kilo bomb attached?

     No.....the trash talking zero and hurri pilots about there leet kills is just stupid. Flying a hurricane into a furball is like fishing with grenades....easy. The planes dont bother me but I might have more respect for the virtual "skills" of the pilot behind them. BNZ you strike me as someone who likes to turn peoples words around. Stop spamming my thread....

Here we agree on something. People who trash-talk on 200 should be chemically castrated.  :aok

Doesn't have anything to do with plane type though. One thing about the Zero or Hurricane, if you are in one, you absolutely can not extend from anything, no matter how bad the situation gets.

Believe as you may, I've got over 100 films disproving it.
Just shows how much you tend to research.
And, for the record, we fly above the furball after take off, find it, clear our squadies, then its every man for himself. As I said above, I perfer the p39. P38's a good plane, but it's a target magnet. And the Mossy is a beast. In a hurricane or zeke? The only people that fly a zeke are Spacy and Dragdad, mostly Space but that's just what he learned in, and kept. He's been flyin it since H2H days. But whatever happened to the "its the pilot, not the plane" maxim? Is the SAPP really that afraid of a single zero? Or a 2 vs 1? Just doesn't seem fit to me, these "l337 p38 pilots" can't take on something any regular 'pilot' could. Again, just shows how much you put into research before making attacks, eh?

Your reading comprehension is as bad as your flying.  I never said anything about "it's the pilot, not the plane", though I am a firm believer in that saying.  All I said is TAS is one of the main contributors to the 'tard like flying we see in the DA. 

I have no troubles fighting a Zero, just ask Spacy, I've kicked his arse enough times when I've encountered him in a Zero (or whatever plane he's in), nor am I shy of a 2v1 or other multi-threat encounter.  I've beat the crap out of TAS enough to know that as a squad and on an individual level, there isn't much skill and you guys are one of, if not, the main contributor to the retardness that goes on in the DA.  Don't worry, I understand why you do it, it's a very common behavior from those that lack any sort of skill.
