[Biggamer]

This is not a rant due to dieing to a 163...but is the 163 perked high enough?should it be perked more? should it be perked less? opions please thank you <<S>>

should be free

[SlipKnt]

I like the idea of bumping up the perk value about 3 times what it is right now.

ghi wants F3 view for 163 too

Considering the susceptibility of a 163 to explode from small calibre rounds I think it is priced right.

You need to look at the K/D vs the main bombers used to hit the strats.

Last tour a 163 had a K/D vs B17s = 3.8/3 = 1.27 K/D vs the other player
                                    vs B24s = 3.6/3 = 1.2 K/D vs the other player
                                    vs Ki67 = 2.7/3 = .93 K/D vs the other player

So the player upping a perk plane has an almost equal chance of losing it before killing all 3 Free bombers in a formation.

The exception looks to be the lancs, but they lack a lot of defense so it does not shock me. They made the choice to carry more bombs to the strat when they took off.

Most 163 pilots really suck. if they don't ram you they spray all over hoping for a hit. Its only the good sticks who already have large perk banks that can make the 163 work so well.

Yes, yes, I see... wait... you're not Snailman! I demand a bar graph!


I wouldn't mind seeing the 163 perked higher. The thing is so fast and small that , if used properly, it still wouldn't get shot down.

[SmokinLoon]

So if thing was perked another... 25 points or so just how would that effect its usage???

Minimal.

The 163 is 50 perks or so (every time I look anyway). I think making it 150 perks would be a fair price.

[RedBull1]

163 should certainly be raised to at least 100 perks.

Guess we could always suggest that the only way to have access to 163s to defend strats is to send a bottle of scotch to HT per week you wanna use them.

He likes the fancy stuff, btw.

[Citabria]

it should cost the same as a flight of b29s.

300 perks at least.

They can be a pain in the butt to a two hour strat run. I always thought they should be perked a bit higher...120-150
