A method to increase aircraft variety by means of positive incentive

Wrong...theres only 3 spits (8, 14, 16?) with an ENY lower than 15 (I think Seafire is 15).  Meaning you would see more Spit 9s and 5s.

And the Spit 5 and 9 will turn with anything too

  Instead of "Fighter of the Day", "Bomber of the Day" and "Vehicle of the Day", replace it with "Target of the Day"

Good idea....I volunteer Hajo.

That's not my point.  You said:

You know I agree with what Tec said, this would get some people out of the spits and into something they may want to learn the ins-and outs of

In agreeance with

Most of the people in this game need to broaden their horizons as far as AC selection goes, and this is a marvelous idea on how to instigate that.

to the OP.  All I'm saying is that it wouldn't get people completely out of spits, as there are others with an ENY of 15 and above.

This is a great idea and worth a try!

Sure, once in a while the fighter of the day would be an older Spit.  So what?  Most of the time it would not be a Spit.

And there are people who should try Spits too, people who normally keep to P-51s and La-7s et al.

random "aircraft of the day" or it could be "target of the day" I think both ideas have merrit and it would be funny to see people find out all of a sudden they are the hot target
AoD eny 20 plus
ToD eny less than 20

Interesting idea, but I think it might be too much work for HTC to go in every day and set a different plane. You know they like to set a map and leave it for a week 

Simple to do since we already have all planes identified by a number.

And what will you do with the extra perks you got? People have thousands of perk points that they just don't use.

A lot of "easy to get" 262 that fly around is not very good either - not that this is likely to happen considering the number of players with enough perks to fly 262s for 5 tours without landing it once, as it is.

I wouldn't do anything with them.  This is not targeted at players who have thousands and do nothing with them.  It is targeted at the new players who want them or the players who do spend them.  Tempests and Me262s do get used and do sometimes fail to return.

I've been here for quite a bit of time and I use all the perks I can get, and I'm not alone to do so.

[Denholm]

I like the idea.

[Anaxogoras]

There are already some guys who fly all of their fighter sorties in perk rides.  I'd rather see fighter score modified by ENY, i.e. make it near impossible to rank in the top 100 by flying 5 ENY aircraft.

[moot]

Right.. furball 152s against zeros and spits does not deserve top ranking.
