Perk em

[MachFly]

No, my suggestion was to perk the 1000lb bombs on things like the F4Us, F6F-5, Fw190s other than the Fw190F-8, P-51D and Typhoon.  Maybe the P-47s too.  Clicking the Attack button wouldn't make the bombs available.  Dedicated attackers would be things like the P-38s, Bf110s and Fw190F-8.

Oh that's a different story.

I am of the opinion that the ENY's are right where they should be based on usage and kills associated with each of the aircraft in the entire inventory.  In the past HTC has edited ENY for certain planes based on the effect they are having on the game and will do so again I am sure.  So all is as it should be...

Now perking ords, I am still thinking about...

I like this.

I think they need ENY lowered and at least a perk cost of 2

perk them all! then everyone will fly the P47M and the 109K4, big improvement!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo... *gasp*...oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Just bring the ENY down so I can perk farm more.

Well landing <10 perks for a double digit sortie in a P51D is low enough IMO

all three to be used correctly need a bit of skill to pull off. they dont need anything done to them. ive killed many a spit16 and la7 because of noob flyers

That isnt the problem.  The problem is the ability of those three aircraft are clearly ahead of other contemporary planes.  Forget the players who fly them, new players or not, plenty of vets and "high ranking" players rely on these crutch aircraft for ranking purposes.

It is the ability of the aircraft that gives it the ENY score (arbitrated by HTC), not the player.

A spit16 perk makes sense when you compare it the spit14

but a P51D compared to a P47M?  a la7 compared to a 109K4?

the 190D is good but nowhere near godlike

you misunderstand me. all three to be used effectively need a bit of skill. unlike in a tempest which u can dive in a 600mph and have the plane push itself back up with no compression problems and 4 20mm hizookas that with a few well placed rounds will take down any aircraft. even the spit14 when used properly at altitude is a helluva plane to reckon with. this conversation should be about lowering the perk of the spit14 and not lowering the eny or perking said 3 rides. put a new player in a tempest and then a 51. see which he lands kills in very easily and which he dies in more often. a spit 16 is very easily outflown and i only have trouble in my 51 against a veteran in a spit 16. the La7 also can be very easily beaten unless the pilot with the higher skill flies the lala also and so said with the 51 too. none of them need to be lower eny theyre perfect as is.

less than 10?  you serious?  i have landed less than 4 for 10 kills  .  and I couldnt care less if it was less than 1 as I fly it because i have fun in it.  besides i have enough perks that I dont use to even consider upping a plane just based on what perks it gives me.  it's like score.

you guys complaining, you dont get perks for 10 kills?
stop flying ponies, start flying 109s, ki84s, spit9s, you will get 10+ for 2 spixteens.
you cant pick n run in the planes i named above?  sorry...

I dont think perking aircraft will get people to stop flying them, just increase the probability that the pilot will only fight on his/her terms and therefore exacerbate the cry against "runstangs" 'n such.

ponys 190s and LAs arent a problem in the MA even in my 38 the 16 tho it should be perked why is the spit 14 perked but not the 16 when its the most difficult plane to fly against in the MA...just perk it like a Chog not really high just make people pay for a plane that needs to be slightly perked my 2 cents
