Hi!

Exactly 6 months ago we had a big discussion about a rolling perk set system. In my opinion, now would be a good time to introduce the Rolling Perk Set to AH.

Here is fd-ski's original post from: http://www.hitechcreations.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=009308

Look at the picture below. Two day sets, 5 phases. All planes avaialbe all the time, but prices for them change as we progress forward. It should be pretty self explainatory. Where the colors are - planes are free to use. On last 2 days, all are free.

What do you think ? Would this give 109F/202/Zeke/Spit5 it's day in the sun ?

Yes Lazs, i know you don't like it (Image removed from quote.) Save you typing (Image removed from quote.)

would be fun.

It would definetly be fun, but I would like the current perked rides to still require perks (maybe half or something). Otherwise we end up with 2 days of me262 land.

I've long been a fan of the rolling plane set, but the problem you can quickly run into is that if a person flys one plane exclusively, it puts them in a very bad mood, when you arbitrarily tell them they cant fly it.

Yep I agree. They should be EXTREMELY expensive in the beginning of the RPS, and less expensive towards the end.

In any case, I dont see any sense in having too steep prices for the planes. Maybe something like 5-10 points per phase, not 20 like fd-ski suggested.

In the rolling perk set, every plane is available at any time. However, depending on the current "RPS phase", you might have to pay a price to be able to fly your preferred ride. But with a correctly priced "menu", most players should be happy!

I'm sure that a Rolling Perk Set would do wonders for the variety of gameplay in AH.

THIS is how requests should be made.

That would be awesome!

I like it, would like to suggest that the actual rolling perk system is based on usage of the planes in the prior 5 phases setup for the next 5 phase setup.

so.... While the new guys are flying around in 109E's or Hurri ones.... The vets and those who have saved "perks" can fly untouchable planes therby racking up even more idiotic perk points?

Elegannt solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. If people are willing to tollerate an RPS then they could do so without perk planes. Looks like this setup guarentees that there will never be a period that is fair for the slower early war planes. A straight RPS would be far more even and fair and much less complex. for the life of me I still can't see why someone would like to have a huge advantage ofer the majority simply because he had "earned" perk points.

Better still that there be an early war "area" unmolested by attention starved dweebs who hate good fights. Seems this system guarentees that you never have a fair fight in the early planes, seldom in the mid war planes and pretty much even handed in the late war ones. That is not what I'm looking for in a GAME. Do it in the CT.

variety without parity is no variety at all.
