"Tac, you earned many of your perks during the perk "bug" era, when fighters could get perks for killing AA fer Chrissakes"

Totally incorrect. My account was wiped just after that. How many MONTHS has it been since then skurj? I had 2500 or perks before my account was wiped, and that was from playing MONTHS before and during that bug era. Dunno about you, but I dont go up and scum points just because (and in that time period, there were no perk planes or any announced as coming up anytime soon so...?).I got my points the right way, and I sure as heck wont like to have them dissapear because someone else is unwilling to do the same.

Give every player 300 perkies IF they dont have 300 perkies (if they have more, dont give them any). That way everyone will be able to fly any perk plane a couple of times. Heck, and thats overly generous anyway!.

either way, as I see it the player with 3000+ perks doesn't have anything left to strive for with the exception of 3100, 3200 etc etc
U earned them.. well if perks had been reset every month from day one u wouldn't feel that way now would ya? +) and after a few months of monthly resets you won't feel that way anymore either.
Cut all perk plane costs in 1/2 and reset monthly!!

The more perk planes you see the more unfair (and unfun) the arena will be. The higher the perk points the less perk planes you will see and the more usless they will be.

Perk points have painted the arena into a very tight corner... No early war planes that work... unfair arenas and a faster and faster arena that contains less variety.

Having all planes available for the first or last few days would allow everyone to fly the "perk" rides and... Make the "perk" rides fly in an atmosphere of fairness and parity. The same could be done with early war rides but in reverse. A couple of days at the begginning or end that only early war planes were allowed... heck with 4-5 early rides u would probly see more variety than the current MA anyway. Certainly, more parity.

i would really like the idea that mission planner can use his perks for mission participants! of course mission planner would be able to control who did/did not fly in mission

thats a great idea imo

perks for mission planner? What does that have to do with anything?

LOLOL BULLSH*T

Perk planes are rare in the arena at present, mebbe a little TOO rare. I played ohh.. 20-30 hrs this past weekend, and saw 2 arados(i was 1), 1 temp for all of about 1 minute, 1 ta152, and 1 chog(i was flyin it)

As far as speed goes, in the realm of most fights in the MA, not one perk ride (arado exception?) cannot be caught on the deck in a level chase.

I have no problems using relatively early war planes in the MA. Aircraft like the A6m compares relatively close to an early war plane, and i saw a ton o them up.

I think its plane durability as much as anything that deterrs some players away from early war aircraft. We all want as many kills as possible for as little ammo as possible expended. The US planeset with its relative durability makes it tough for the 202, non gond 20mm 109's etc
Even EW US aircraft were heavies when it came to durability.

just ramblin

I like the perk system myself, u wanna fly a perkie, and aint got the points, its real simple fly the 109F for a bit, it gives a good perk value per kill. Its not an easy plane to fly, but it makes kills very satisfying

As one of the returning former subscribers I say don't give me any perks. I want to earn them like I did the first time around. I missed on the "beta" stage and did not return to AH until after January for a few months then left again for a while. You know what each time I started with 0 perks then and had to earn them all over again.

I say make the points value a little lower but not by half and don't reset every month. Maybe every 6 months but not every month.

skerj.... I agree with that lasz guy... The perk system has painted itself into a corner... it is not roadkill that the arena is simply becoming a faster place with little hope of the very important (and fun)early war rides having a chance for their day in the sun.

Yes.. as i said, perk planes are rare.... so rare that they are useless. As they should be.... they are unfair to anyone flying against em... like giving the quarterback of one team a bulletproof limo to run the ball in. They would be very fair and..... used much more often if the idiotic perk system were abolished and they were allowed free of charge for a couple of days per tour.

skerj.... I have only killed two perk planes to no losses in my 1D. So what? does that mean that the 1d is competitive with the Tempest? does it maybe mean that everyone in a 1d will kill tempests 2/1? does it even mean that I will allways prevail 2/1 against tempests or..... does it simply mean that you could't pass up an opportunity to brag? It doesn't mean anything. The facts remain that anytime the tempest is in the arena with lesser planes then there is a built in unfairness if not everyone has them available. If they were available to everyone then 80% or so of the planes you see in the arena would be tempests.

hazed.... don't worry. It's not that likely. lack of action and lesser skills required so a lot more boring. i have a low tolerance for boring.
