My perk wish...

[tunnelrat]

Firstly, EW/MW/LW perks are applied to their respective arenas only.  While that wish as already been tossed into the fountain, I would really like to see:

Heavy perks for FSO, Snapshot, TDI, etc to be applied to the arena of your choice (defaulting to LW)

By heavy perks, I mean something along the lines of 5 per kill, 5 per object destroyed (or better, per X damage to object so light bomber pilots don't get penalized) for FSO, quite a bit less for the unlimited life events, but still more lucrative than a comparable stint in the LWMA.

This removes the ability for people to sit and farm perks with a partner, as these events are monitored and structured to create an environment that would not be conducive to said behavior.

More importantly, it gives the CMs that pour a lot of time into setting up scenarios, FSOs, etc a neat little extra incentive for players to join in.  Yeah, a lot of people don't care about perks... but enough people do that it might drum up some bigger turn outs for these events.

Just fly in the LWA to use perks in the LWA. They are totally different servers. They have different squads, different settings, different uses, different PURPOSE. You shouldn't earn perks in the FSO for the LWA. Just play in the LWA.

If you think you can't earn enough in the LWA, then request a revamp to raise rewards there. Don't cross-link servers.

Not fond of it.  I think it'd result in a whole lot of 'ZOMG PERKS JOIN FSO!' followed by a whole lot of 'ZOMG I CANT GET KILLZ IN YAK9T, GIMME LA7!  BIASED CMS! ZOMGNOTFAIR!' ad nauseum.

FSO and scenarios are there for people who enjoy that gameplay and are their own reward, IMO.

You both make valid points.

Great ideas here.

I like the keeping of perks to the arena in which they were earned and big perks for the "scenarios".

I like the idea of keeping late war perks in the late war arena.  Farming perks in midwar requires severely unbalanced sides and typically the countries in mid war have this.

The only problem with midwar and earlwar perks is the question of what to spend them on.  I don't think midwar has any perked rides aside from some cheapo tanks.

When the B-29 came out I did some perk farming in mid war so I could try it out but the funnest use I found for the 29 was to launch a formation of them behind a chuwie NOE mission and then blow past the mission's fighters on their way to the target.  I made a fantastic decoy for the pilots who chose to defend against the missions.
