Then give us perk points.
Then with those I want my 88 to go from this as it is now in game.



To this.




Then when I get a few more perks I want this so I can see you better when I shoot you.

After I get a few more perks I would like to pack up my fixed 88 that is like this.



Then drive it lets say  :headscratch: 4.5k from the dead center & end of your runway with this as you auto climb out in your aircraft. Just far enough out to not flash the base of course.

Yes, regardless of if there is a change or not. :D

I broke up many base vulches/takes by manning the lone field gun ignored or forgotten about.    The best ones were the one shots that had no clue what hit them, or where.

You hit one guy or miss and someone sees the puffy, Everyone then swarms you. (or should)

I hit one guy and they are in the tower.   I taught Banshee7 the method and he enjoyed it immensely.

No idea?
With over 70k on hand to use at present it's a non issue for me to use perks for what I want.

The better question is what would the pay off be for nailing aircraft?

Especially that are far away & high & those that are very fast.

Bigger perks for the harder kill maybe?

You get nothing for shooting down an AC, Unless it's changed so you die when you're killed. Then the longer the range, faster and smaller the AC you would get more perks. Capped at say ten perks, eny has no effect or will hit the ten perk cap easier.
Perks could be based soley off range, 1k=1 perk and 10k(+)=10 perks
Bombers have a .125 multiplier and fighters have a 1 multiplier. for example if you shoot a bomber at 8k it's one perk.
Or you could do a .25 multiplier and have a 4k bomber be one perk?
Not sure what the best balance would be...?

There would be a new perk set introduced only for manned guns.
You would be able to be killed in the 88.
Two options, If you wanted to earn perks you're able to be killed but you can earn perks for your kills.
If you don't want to die in a manned gun you won't be able to earn perks.
This is for the people who say "It's a last ditch effort you shouldn't be able to die in a manned gun"
The option would be similar on how some planes can be scored as a fighter or attack aircraft. A manned gun could be "perk" or "NoPerk" or something of that nature.

Traverse time: 5 perks
sight: 5 perks
mobile 88: 125 perks
Mobile 88 takes 5-20mm cannon rounds to kill(Or equivalent)
Hauled by the German half track. You can't carry supplies or troops, Only ammo for your 88.

Sound fair?

  There's enough dweebs sittin' in GVs spawncampin' these days, I'm all for taking away ALL the
manned acked at a field or base. Less GVs and less guys in field ack = more fun air war.

I would go in the completely opposite direction and say that nothing on the ground should give a kill except vehicles.And then those kills should be in a separate ground vehicle category. Vulching A/C on the runway shouldn't be rewarded at all.

It's funny.  Take out the ack and set up CAP/Vulch, they cry.  Take out the hangers and you avoid the crying about the CAP, they have a MASSIVE CRAP FEST.
