I can with all honesty say I don't use perks, never pay attention to them, and really don't know how they work cause I don't care.
Is what is being suggested that folks switch right before a 'win' to get perks? I thought you had to be in that country for a time before this happened? Is it really that important to folks?
Or is it that folks are just that worried about 'losing' that they want to be on the 'winning' side? And do people really care about that in a cartoon flight sim?
