Tumor,
Why perk it big time?
If it is perked to that extreme, they might as well not add it.
I agree that it needs to be perked, but due to its lack of sheer speed anywhere below 20k I don't think that it needs a huge perk.
If it were priced at about 30 it would be rare, but usable. If it were priced at 70, I'd never fly it, and its my favorite aircraft from WWII. I'd just be throwing 70 perk points away if I flew it in any other manner than ultra unrealistic alt monkey style.
This is a game, I want to have fun. Flying like that isn't fun. I don't want to throw 70 points away becasue I took a risk because it is too much loss for the risk.
