Prewhine whining...

Perk points and values..
How is HT and the gang going to do this?

There are many different ways, more ways than i care to even try to list...

Are you all matuure enough to not squeal like a stuck pig when u see the point value of your chosen ride, or of your opponent's?

It may seem oversimplified, but IMO point values of the aircraft should be based on a VERY simple formula. SPEED, the slower an aircraft is the less it is worth.  Choose an altitude or several altitudes and come up with a method of determining the fastest aircraft with some kinda averaging procedure, and progress from their down the list.

A zeke can't catch a 51, the faster aircraft dictates the terms of combat, therefore its a greater achievement involving more risk, for the zeke to take down the 51.  The 51 can just BnZ at will.

Mebbe some won't like the above, but I know quite a few will not be happy with HTC's system, whatever it might be.(i think we know who those ppl are)
The fewer the variables, the easier to understand, possibly less cryin, i dunno..

I believe you are correct in this assumption, Skurj.

We don't have any perk planes in 1.05, but the perk system will be on and points will be accumulating. Plane ratings will be set from the kill stats of the current tour and will be updated as stats change with different planes becoming more or less popular. These ratings dictate how many perk points are awarded for kills based on the plane you are flying versus the plane you shoot down. The ratio is your plane's rating divided by the rating of the plane you shoot down. So if Plane A has a rating of 1 and Plane B has a rating of 4, Plane A would be awarded a quarter of a point for shooting down B while B would be awarded 4 points for shooting down A. There is also a separate rating that deals with accumulating perk points through bombing and ground attack.

Hmmm... so killing an F4U1-C with only one and a half wings would gain you more perk points than killing one with both wings intact?  

Don't have an embolism ... I couldn't resist it

I am with that current perk point system.
More popular planes (which usually are good ones) are more worth killing than some unpopular ones (which usually arent good).

It worked pretty fine in brand W long time ago, whe more points were given for P38L kill and less for some B5N kill  
(Ju-88 bombers earned quite good scores..)

Either way won't matter to dedicated drivers, be it p-51, 109, 190 or whatever pilots  .

We'll just merrily trod along with our fav ride  .

Flying different planes is combat is NOT an option with me. The USAAF delivered the "P-51D" to the 13th Tactical Aero Squadron. The North American P-51D "Mustang flown properly is the best ride in this sim! We will have so many perk points we could order any ride we want but....why would we want to fly anything else. Perk Planes are just another opportunity to learn there weaknesses how to kill them. You will not hear Whines from me on Perk planes, as long as they don't dumb down the original plane they are shipping us from the United States. BUY WAR BONDS!

Frankly I don't care, i just get real real sick and tired of the whines in the community, til it gets to the point that I start whining about the whinin to come lol.  hmm contagious...

We need that other sim to go online such that civility will prevail in AH!!
