Let us know how many baby seal pelts you manage to collect.  :aok

I collected 7 in the MW the other day when I popped in for a sortie while defending a base solo.  Someone accused me of going in there to farm perks for the LW arena.  :rofl

Well, now I'll see if I can get outa the office a little early this afternoon, farm some perks for a few minutes.  I was on my game in the MA last night, but wasted it on the Rooks though.

If you hop into the MW arena find out which side the Bish are milkrunning and switch to that side and up from the base that they're trying to take.  After you shoot some down, watch the cries about farming perks start.  It's highly amusing.

I used to perk farm bomber points in mid war, would up from a base and B-line to a port looking for a CV, usually routinely circling right outside the port, quite fun to watch someone else whine about "knowing exactly where the CV is" when said player was busy wanting to bomb it first.

Got enough for B-29s and laughed back into LWA.

But usually it's kind of a waste of time, you up from that field, kill those fellows and then they go attack the other front... and you can't change back!  :frown:

With 2 folks you can. One covers each side. Only 1 hour switch in those arenas also.

Lately there have been more than 30 in there. Many just fighting in a certain area between 2 bases. Lots of fun.

I started practicing the early war planes I haven't yet flown here and have found they work pretty well in the late war arena.

I have no reason to go to early war to fly an early war ride.

That said, why is 1942 considered "early war".

I would rather think early war ends in 1941.

You want to start from where? Spain or Manchuria? The bananna wars?

Problem is that stopping it in 1941 blocks many aircraft, mostly American and Japanese, from it that simply aren't competitive in the Mid-War period.

In the very basic sense I know what perks represent and why. I think nowdays I mostly fly perked rides with the Pigs if we do a fun run. Other wise we preaty much fly nonperked rides.

Do any of you know what perks mean now that you have become accomplished at playing the game? Other than for the occasional fun ride with freinds or to make a hoard work harder to steal a capture. What do players with years under their belts care about perks who can farm them if needed? Granted there are some vets exploring B29 as a way to put some life back into their game play. Or use 234 to break a hoard upping from a CV. Or the same with 262 over airfeilds.

I don't play the ground game or fly bombers so I don't look at those perk numbers in the hanger.

Can these perk finessers even use the rides they want so badly to fly, with any skill? As a group are we suddenly going to have a hoard of 262 Aces closing down the game becasue they are so dedicated to finessing the system?

With that said, isn't finessing the game on purpose for personal gain something you e-mail to HTC?


I agree that if they are having to perk farm in the EW arena for perks to bring back to the LW arena, than more than likely whatever they are spending these perks on they probably won't be any good with. I still find it very gamey though.

Even so I would prefer

- Sept 41
- Sept 43
- August 45.

The Brits, Russians & Chinese were using some US ac prior to Sept 41 and the Japanese were invading SE Asia.

The P38 and 190a5 are a little too much for early war.

The early war planeset would be sweet if we could get the beaufighter, Mig3, yak1, I153, and D520 added but that's asking a lot out of the Aces High staff considering that the current population prefers planes that only flew for the last week of the war because they are fast and have cannons.
