I'm so flying that Yak!!!!

[Ack-Ack]

I suspect ENY, like the whole perk system itself, is based on usage numbers, not performance. The whole point of having a perk system is to promote variety.

Perks are not based on usage nor is it used to promote variety.  

ack-ack

What is it then, and how do you know?

From the HTC webpage:

"The perk system is a way for HTC to introduce some interesting but otherwise unbalancing planes on a limited basis but the benefits go deeper than that.  Perk planes (and vehicles) would be things like Me 262s, Ta 152s, Tempests, B-29s, Ar 234s, Tiger IIs, etc.  These are interesting rides but would be very unbalancing if they were available on an unlimited basis.  So there won't be unlimited availability but they'll be available as bonuses or perks every so often. "

[GScholz]

But that says nothing about what the perk cost is based on.

Welcome to aces high, sometimes the rules are subjective and known by htc only!

So what?

They need to take out the bit about the Ta-152, since it's no longer perked.

The thing about the 152 and Spitfire Mk. XIV is that while they are absolutely outstanding aircraft, few people have the patience to learn to use them properly.

I think it's more of a case of "there are better planes that do the same thing better, why bother flying these?". And I have to disagree on the outstanding part...decent planes? Yea. Outstanding? Nah. A 109K4 is outstanding, a Spit16 is outstanding, a Spit14 is not.

[ACE]

I've seen the 152 being flown outstandingly before. 

[Motherland]

I've seen the 152 being flown outstandingly before. 

I've seena P40E flown outstandingly before. Should that be perked as well?

I didn't say anything about the 152 being perked? 

[Slash27]

a Spit14 is not.

Since when?

in what universe? the spit14 just has smaller training wheels than the spit16...

[SirNuke]

So what?

Its ok with me! Was just pointing out

[moot]

Yeah I was thinking that.  There's no negative consequence I can think of.
