No because if you really want to fly a f4u-4 so bad that you would pay 160 perks for it why don't you just switch to the other side?

What if the problem is a late night one, where for example Bish and Rook have 30 players each and they have a nice fight going between each other, and the knits have about 9 on with NO fights happening what so ever. Why would you want to switch to knits and sit in the tower waiting for a base to flash?

This happened to me the other night where I actually had to switch side because there were no fights for the knits. Lucky for me I'm a huge 109/190 pilot and was able to my G6 and G2 since they are 30 ENY, and when ENY drop under 25 I took out the 190A5.

In this event I would pay a couple of perks to up a K4 a few times.

I switch sides to find fights, not up a low-ENY plane.  So I guess I can't sympathize with anyone who cries because of ENY.  Allowing players to buy a perk ride, no matter the inflated cost, is (as has already been said) something that should never happen.  If you think perk farming in empty arenas is bad now, just think if this idea was ever implemented.

So you're saying if bish and rook are fighting and knits are dead quite on both fronts (this is assuming you're a knit at the time), you will switch to either rook or bish even thou they both have 20 ENY.

I had to do this a couple nights again, knits had 262s for 50 perks and a perk bonus of 4.50. I would have had a ball racking in perks flying my 109 IF! there were other planes to actually shoot down. I ended up switching to bish because they had 18 and rooks had 21, they both ended up at ~22 with in 20 minutes.

Yep, but I might up for a short sortie just to see if anyone is willing to come over and "play".  I don't fly low ENY planes much, so could care less what the ENY is, and rarely up anything perked.  All I want to do is fly or GV and have some good fights.

In this case, take up something heavy (51,38)  and go attack a base.  That should get somebody up to fight with ya.  Or get to the base closest to the fights that are going on, up a plane with good legs, and go pick a fight!

Great advice!  It works almost all the time.
