A method to increase aircraft variety by means of positive incentive

[Anaxogoras]

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

Hehe, good point... but we both know the 5 ENY value for the 152 is silly and also something that needs adjustment.

And maybe the perk rides should have an ENY lower than 5?

[Karnak]

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.

Only problem with that is that a lot of people don't care at all about score.  It is meaningless as it isn't a true metric for skill, but more for time played.  My proposed method would include actual in game effects.

Yes, some people have functionally endless perk points but I would guess most do not.

If we get "stuka day" im taking the big 8 in the jug and calling in to work.

Heh.

If HTC were to decide to implement my original idea the Stuka could be the "Bomber of the Day", but there would still be a "Fighter of the Day" and a "Vehicle of the Day" as well.

i like the idea but for GV's i dont see the point as of yet... i think most all the GV's are used often.

[Karnak]

Not really.  I'll grant you the selection is a lot lighter, but how often do you see Jeeps, M-8s, M-16s, SdKfz 251s, T-34/76s or LTVs?

[Banshee7]

M-8s, T-34/76s or LTVs?

not as often as you used to, but I use them a lot

[moot]

LVTs everytime there's a CV op.  Would they be used in any circumstances IRL?  M16s are the least used by quite a bit. 251s next.  M8s arent too prevalent but not rare either. I've only been playing regularly for a week, but  /76s showed up about every 4th or 5th time I ran into GVs.

There could be an added incentive for historical combinations or teamwork. Resupply day or Ostie+251 day or something.

LW pull from anything that is MW or EW, for extra perk day.
MW pull from anything that is EW, for extra perk day.
EW use only the higher eny AC/gv for extra perk day.
