I don't know how Pyro is going to implement a  Perk system, it seems counterproductive to give good K/D ratios better planes. I think it should be based on bases captured, or ordinance dropped on target.

Anyhow, here are my ideas:

After closing X Bases, or so many pounds of ord dropped you get "chips" which you can redeem for rides in the following Ubers:

Spit XIV
Fw-190D
F8 Bearcat
Me 262

You should also get a "chip" every time you kill a building or ack in a Panzer, or capture a base in a M3. You need to avoid things like chips for killing other players, only strat targets of the enemy. Because otherwise people will open accounts just to get slammed down so they can build up other accounts. By making chips only earnable by taking or destroying enemy bases, you push the strat model while giving room for the planes that everyone really wants.

In keeping with the Aces High theme, Poker Chips could be used.

no
a nu pilot starts out in the earlier types, as he advances and SURVIVES, he gets more options in what AC he can use ....if the pilot dies or is captured, he starts over again in regards to selection of plane types...but his score remains thruout the TOD.

Whats with you Nancy Spit Boys, the XIV is too good, it outclasses everything in the game, get it thru your head. Its fine if its perk, but D9 is in no way uber or deserves to be perk.

Well, Nath, I suppose I would settle for a thread in which all of the LW fans admit that somebody else, the RAF in this case, had 'em licked as far as having the best fighter goes.  If all of the LW fans state that the Spitfire MkXIV is more powerful/better at killing other fighters than anything the Luftwaffe had in 1944 I will promise to never ask for the Spitfire MkXIV again.


The problem is that many LW fans claim that the Fw190D-9 owns the Spitfire MkXIV anytime they meet on even terms.  But despite that, they still want the Fw190D-9 as a free choice and the Spitfire MkXIV to either never be added or as a perk plane.  Obviously you and RAM feel that the Spitfire MkXIV was better than the Fw190D-9, but many other LW fans do not agree with you.

I think that the Fw190D-9 should be added as a free choice aircraft for what its worth.  At this point, I don't even really care if HTC adds the Fw190D-9 in 1.05 and gives the RAF a Hurricane MkI to compensate for it.

The reason I'm not interested in the Tempest MkV is because it will perform VERY much like the F4U-1C.  Sice we already have an aircraft that performs like that, I don't really see the need for another.

So good luck on getting you're Fw190D-9.  It'd be nice to see another aircraft in AH.

Yeah right, Tempest Mk V is like a F4U-1C. Apart from having the same guns, they don't have much else in common. Unless you think the P-51D and Fw 190A-8 are comparable too...

Perk planes are BS. The day I can't select a plane in the set because "I don't have enough points" is the day I cancel my account.

Don't penalize me because I suck. My $29.95 is worth the same as anyone else's.

A better way to balance Gameplay would be to limit the number of planes available for all - using some sort of respawn rate.

I don't like  the idea of plane perks myself, its going to force the fights even higher, and its already to the point where I have  a hard time promoting a co-alt fight the way it is, folks usually run away when you see a co-alt dot, until they can come back  with more alt.  

Lessen  the dot visibility, and scrap plane perks IMO, just encourages more score/alt monkeys.
