+10 to unperking all planes.
-1 to Grizz's (and other BB elitist) consistently condescending attitude towards corky's idea, any idea he/they don't like and his/their constant reference to unexperienced/unskilled game participants as "tards".
With the perk system as it stands it gives the skilled pilots a huge advantage because they easily can gain perkies to fly whatever perk plane they choose....leaving the unskilled at a large disadvantage not just due to lack of skill but also due to lack of comparable equipment. Also, a big assumption made by the regular BB lords is that everyone will eventually, with enough practice, reach their skill level......that viewpoint is simply not true.
Unperking all planes would in the short term cause the MA to be filled with jets.....however that would quickly stabilize with many fewer jet sorties once the newness wore off (once people figure out there not as easy to fly or uber as they might think).
The one thing great about this game, and the reason many are still here, is the variety of vehicles/planes one can experience. I just don't see how allowing everyone on all sides free access to all planes would be unbalancing......as it is now with the elites able to get the best planes, that is more unbalancing I believe.
If the goal is to gain and retain new players, handicapping their choice of equipment when it would be most beneficial seems odd to me.
If an equipment limiting system is necessary it would make more sense to limit the most skilled players to the worst equipment....maybe a reverse perky system is in order if there must be a system.
