how to promote early plane set
« on: June 09, 2001, 09:26:00 AM »
well lets try something like this:

for Lw to reach a me262 or any realy high performer  perk plane  to Colect 120 special perks in 109 e and 109 f

for Raf to fly meteor to colect 120 special perk in spit1 and huricane

and like this for Each BRAND plane,  to set up certain perk condition

to be continuos after land, even if SAFE land Half of perks point away

dont know how other see the sim but i em sure the Lw side will realy apreciate the Uber 262 for now a real Buff hunter

the idea need to be more exactly reworked but the principe is to reward and stimulate the early plane set

what u think about this ?

NOW THIS IS A GOOD IDEA   :D

but maybe a slight variation fly any countries pre 1942 plane to earn perks for the late 45 perk planes.
the midwar set can just be flown any time but earn no perks.

<S>minus a great and fair idea i think

That is a GREAT idea!!!! And so very simple to put in practise.

Only early war planes earn perks, only late war planes cost perks!!!  I'd love it  :)

It's a good idea, but where's the motivation for Newbies?

That's why I like the Chog price, it's not quite free, but it's set low enough that a newbie has a realistic chance of getting one in his first month and thereby achieving a feeling of success.

That feeling of success is the most important addictive factor to this game, along with the percieved values of glory and shame.

I do think it's a good idea, but I also think we'd need a wider plane set first. Which would be the null perk buff? the null perk G.V., the null perk carrier fighter?

Can you really perk the Spit before the Hurri is available, can you perk the Macci until the fiat is available, etc. etc.

I'd also like to see some way of tying perks into Squads, some way of rewarding that indefinable difference between a bunch of good sticks having fun together, (such as the MOL) and a Squad that really works on it's tactics and functions together as a squad, such as that 'Stang squad used to (13 TAS?). You always knew it was them, they were identifiable, and that should be rewarded.

just imagine the 262 , are is some plane who can run from you ?  ;)  no only many plane who can deseperate dive

AH  ned some role play  system , not all but many people askin for imersion

 many people are
natural born quakers[/I] and they are jsut hapy how is it now they dont need evolue becose  the daily fix of furbal in his prefered plane who is modelet  how hi ALWAYS DREAM about it

if AH can put inside somthing more like just a pure pure action even a mass sucide LVT navy asault become pasionate

why iaskin for special perk condition to be a 262 pilots  , need to first get my merite in some low base plane

dont say is not fun ! i find the 109f4 is plane who can fight and atack any plane it only cant run so early plane set  are even more PURE action

now people who dont like this idea  hmmmmm
are they perefer  all his life shoting off the endles numbers of  c 47 ?
or any plane who can put in danger hiz BIG HERO  EGO ?

Just to enlarge on this issue... I meant that this would not concern Me262 ONLY!!!

I meant that all 1944- planes would cost just a bit.. kinda like Chog does at the moment. Of cource Me262 could cost more. But no plane should cost as much as Tempest does now. Maybe 5-40 or 50 perks per plane. (All perks should be resetted at first though)

Also ONLY 1942 and earlier planes could earn perks.

All 1943 planes would always be free to fly.

These time limits should be of cource adjusted according the current plane set and further adjusted when new planes are introduced to AH.

Maybe this could be softened so that mid war planes could also earn perks, but e.g. only 1/3 of what early war planes can earn.

One would need to fly maybe 1-2 succesful early war missions (3-6 mid war missions)to get perks for a late war plane.

Sounds like a damn fine idea to me! Although I'd modify it just a bit:

Sept 1 1939 - Jan 1 1943: Do earn perks
Jan 1 1943 - May 1944: Free planes, don't earn perks
May 1944 - June 1945: Perked

With or without change Minus, this is the best thing I've seen yet!!

I like it Minus.

There have been several good ideas on this board to get more early war matchups.  I hope they try one of them.

The date fixation thing does not work, IMHO.

Using Flakbait's system:

The A6M5b Zero-Sen would garner no perk points.  The A6M5b was introduced in early 1944, IIRC.

The Spitfire F.MkXIV, should it be added, would be a free plane.  The Spitfire MkXIV was introduced in January, 1944.

The Fw190D-9 would be a perk plane.  The Fw190D-9 was introduced in August/September of 1944.

Flakbait's system, I fear, would result in an arena of nothing but Spitfire MkXIVs.

3 to 4 perk pints in a single 15minute sortie in a spitfire :) (beats on chest doing some stupid tarzan imatation) takes usualy 45 to 50 minutes for one buff run....same perks.
