FREE SPIT 14 and new perk changes to other planes!

[Triton28]

Not even close.  And I have spent a good amount of time in the P-38.

I said this is not up for debate!  Thanks.

You returned to the game a year ago and probably racked more hours in 1 month than I have in the past 2 years. I lost literally thousands of perks due to a name change and after that I haven't really been able to get them back. When I played so much to get perk points I didn't need perk rides to survive. Now that I play so little that I need perk rides to survive I can't afford them anymore. This is the thing I've always said about perks - it gives negative returns.

Not always. I used to keep about 500-1000 GV perks on hand. What I would do is save them until I could afford to lose multiple panthers or tigers to keep our take a base I really liked the fights at.

No debate.  Just stating a fact.

Umm... P-38G/J/L = Strongest redguy magnet in the game. 

Yesterday 4 cons dove right by a Tempest that was higher to attempt to gang me. This statement is entirely true!

Bozon,

The P-51D is probably not able to be perked, even at a cost of 1, for business reasons.  That makes perking all of the other late war stuff moot.

Why?  Other online sims you practically have to BUY yourself into something survivable or earn your way.  This is one of the only games I've seen that you can plop yourself right into the cockpit of the game's most survivable aircraft/tanks/harware

Well, that's because they would have to waste time climbing.  You've obviously not flown against Dodger lately.  He's always gone after the easy-sleazy planes no matter what alt

Well, I could be mistaken about the consequences, but there have been an awful lot of forumers over the years who have said that they would quit if the P-51D was controlled in anyway and many a tantrum when ENY took it away.  More recently we've seen ENY discussions where P-51D fans make suggestions to have its 5 ENY only for when you load bombs and rockets and a 15 or 20 ENY when unladen, in other words trying to reduce the minimal controls on it that do exist.

Most people who fly the P-51D don't even know how to use it, so it's usually an easy target. I don't see why there's a fuss over it not being perked, considering a Mustang usually means free perks for the rest of us.

Besides, it's satisfying to kill Mustangs with a Zero.

[Ack-Ack]

There is one main reason why the P-51D isn't perked, it does not unbalance the game play in any way.

ack-ack

[Scherf]

Yes, I loooove teh P-51. Please do not remove it from the hands of noobs.

It would if all of the other planes people keep suggesting be perked actually got perked.   As it is, none of the planes people keep asking to be perked unbalance game play.

If that's the definition of why planes get perked, the only real planes that cause that kind of unbalance are 262s and 163s because when they are flying, they are the only ones playing.  Everyone else is watching and dodging, lmao.

Just a momentary snaphsot, so I'm not going to put it in my stats thread

By the way, still hoping someone will put up the new ENY/perk list (AH wiki?)... 

Keep in mind that 95% of the guys flying 16s believe it's better then a 14 because it has the bigger number

And for those guys spi16s probably are  better planes

[Schen]

I prefere the 16 over the 14 for overall control. It turns beautiful nice speed and stall fights like a dream.
