Hello Oaktree,

I respect the heck out of you Sir.  With that said, I disagree with any perk being placed on the Wirbel.  Like any other plane or vehicle in this game, it is vulnerable to attack/destruction when handled properly.

We really need to perk the Wirbelwind.  It take a beating like a tiger and its guns are lethal up to 1.5k. 

The Wirblewind in no way of being worthy of any perks, it's not indestructable and can be easily rendered useless due to its open turret. 

If you're in a fighter, just dive on one from, coming straight at it and when you get within run range, fire and your rounds will hit the open turret.  It usually only takes a nice solid burst to take out the turret.  If you have bombs, it makes it so much easier to kill.  The IL2 is also pretty decent at taking them out but unfortunately, you do have to get within run range of the WW and that might present some risk.  You can also use a B-25H (my preferred ride for this) and use the 75mm to take out the WW from beyond its gun range.

I am not saying that it should be perk like a tiger.  Just a little perk.  Also, how many times have any of you guy come across the 251?  I must have seen it 5 times since it came out.

If you're gonna perk something, PERK IT!!

None of this "just a little perk" stuff.

How would a "little" perk on the WW affect the way you or anyone else plays the game?

I'm guessing it wouldn't change it at all.

I really don't get the "perk this" and "perk that" all the time on these boards.

How will it affect game play overall?

It won't.

If the wirble gets perked then perk the IL2 and the B25H to 1 strafe run on a wirble puts you in the tower.

IL2 - maybe.  never been in one but be shot down but a few.

B25H- NO.  Takes to long to reload and a lot can happen in between.

The WW and Oswind should be perked for the same reason the 262 is, they just didn't make many of them.

Most of the German mobile AA was truck mounted and suseptable to destruction from the air by GUN fire, both the 37mm and 20mm guns were truck mounted and later halftrack mounted, the WW and OW were tried and found to be too expensive for the results.

Of those 3, only one actually merits a perk based on performance and over-all ability.

They didn't make many FlakPanzer's?  Stop reading wiki, it's always wrong.
