Is there room for a dueling style arena in which to burn perks off on the current lineup as well as for planes that were prototypes or made it into service too late to see any action?

Perhaps one that is only open one or few days a week?

here are 3 reasons why:

1) To give "hanger queens" more of a chance. When's the last time you've seen a C.202 or a KI 61 flying around? In my opinion all 4 engine heavy bombers should be perked, as well as all late war fighters (i.e. P-51D, Spit 16, ect.....). also in the case of aicraft that have multiple variants (i.e. BF-109, Spitfire, ect....) the earlist one would be perk free while the next model would be slightly more expensive.

First all, quite a few decent pilots fly higher eny planes, they have as much fighting chance as the pilot has in terms of skill.
I racked up over 15,000 perks in only 1 year just flying 20eny planes or higher, I usually paired them off, C.205 and Ki-84 for example, ones 25 eny and ones 20 eny, next tour P-38 and C-205 etc.

Novice players simply need to get out of the baby rides like the P51D and step into something thats challenging. Problem is if they can barely land 2 kills in a 51D whats chance they will land more then one kill in a C.205? Most likely Zero.

I see no reason to change the eny system or perk more aircrafts, perks are easy to come by for those who practice and learn.

It is never a good idea to limit a player's choice and force them to fly aircraft they don't want to fly, either by increasing perks on an aircraft or through a rolling plane set.  All that will result is an eventual empty arena.

Why don't we ask for "Altitude" to be perked?

I don't mind newbies in P51Ds running everywhere fast. It's the sudden fad of doing it above 20k thats getting boring. I'm finding mini hoards at 25k who run away to climb higher so they can come back to vulch me when I find them alone. Thats alot of time on auto climb in a combat game where most airfeilds are a few minutes away from each other. What are they doing with all of that time? Minimised out watching prono?

Wrong!  We've had trinity for days now.  There is no base rolling without seeing them get unrolled as soon as the 2nd front is opened up.

Those stupid mountains are high enough to keep a Mongolian air force out.
