I'm not saying unperk it, all I'm saying is that its not as uber a fighter as the post makes it out to be. He makes it sound like a flying wirb.

Great find. 

Apparently the moderators (as such exist) don't consider completely thread wrecking off topic posts a problem anymore so it's probably not worth putting any further effort in here.  Come to think of it, I've reached that opinion about HTC in the past.  Thanks for your effort.
I get really really tired of selective realism disguised as a desire to make bombers easier to kill.
