The ability to give perk points to squad members

[Wiley]

I dont think 500 perks in a month is really all that much. I enjoy trying to get atleast 30 perks a day when i fly. Here is a screenshot of the google doc that i use to keep track of my perks. So far, in the 6 days that i have flown in the past 10 days, i've earned about 215 perks. And i don't consider myself to a great pilot.

Well, can't argue with that.  I guess I just suck.

All A2A or is there some jabo mixed in there?  I'd forgotten you can get fighter perks from jaboing as well, that would make things easier now that I think about it, and would definitely be a more farmable situation.

I definitely admit it could be a dangerous change.  I just thought giving planes vs points added a wrinkle to the idea I hadn't seen before.

mostly A2A kills in 20+ eny and resupply runs in M3 and C47.

You have fewer perks than you could because I steal your kills....................alot .......................then I giggle.

well, you want to give them away, so they shouldnt come back to you.  and since the one you gave them to didnt earn them.  then they should be nonrefundable.

it has been suggested several times before. and the logic for not been able to give them away is because eventually it will create an underground economy where you trade perks for money.  for example, I'll give you 1000 perks you pay me 1 month's dues.  give them only to squadies, sure no problem, join my squad.

besides if you have been playing for a while and you dont have the perks to fly a perk plane anytime you want then you seriously need to rethink the way you play.

Points all negated by the single flight rule. Im not suggesting you be able ot just hand over perks. But only for a single flight and the person receiving them wouldnt be able to keep them or give them to someone else.

they would be good for your next flight. Period. if un used or you go unkilled they go back to the original owner.

That would make it kinda hard to develop and underground economy

[DREDIOCK]

So: I only have 130 perks and need 70 more to fly the 262.  Squadie supplements the remaining 70 perks and boom, I'm in the air with a 262.  If I make it back, he get's his 70 perks back and I keep the rest.  If I get shot down, he loses those 70 perks (and of course I lose mine).  ANY perks I earn shooting stuff down goes back to me, regardless.  So he either get's the 70 perks back if I land, or loses them if I get shot down.  No middle ground.

Is this the way you were thinking Dred?  If so, then I do not see a problem with it.  So long as the person who is supplementing the perks is fully aware that he will not get the perks back if the person he's helping get's shot down.


If you wish to just give them perks, then I see some problems with it.  The common example is: Go to EW/MW, farm, go to MA, sell.  Making the perks arena specific may help with this issue but it will make the game more restrictive.  I recall someone saying that HiTech doesn't wish to do this.  If this is so, then the only real option is the supplement option.

Thats pretty much exactly what I was thinking. You decide not to take a perk ride next flight and the perks automatically go back to their original owner. You wouldnt be allowed to hold onto them for use at a later date. Likewise. the recipient of such perks wouldnt be allowed to pass them onto anyone else. They7 would only be good for one flight and be limited to his very next flight

[DREDIOCK]

How bout I pay for your months subscription in exchange for 5 262s?

Could be done. But there is a lot of things that could be done for cash in game. Court a top ranked pilot. Join my squad and I'll pay your subscript for the month.

Yea what you say could be done. But hardly worth it as he would have to give them to you 1 plane at a time

[DREDIOCK]

Finally, it was suggested in the past to implement this as part of the mission planner - if you add a perked plane to the mission, the planner can tick a box that says the he will pay the perks for that flight. I wouldn't mind to pay for 262 missions for noobs or launch a 163 swarm to kill HQ attackers. 15,000 (currently useless) perks will allow a few of these missions.

This isnt a bad idea either

I do not see a problem with this.

Link it to PayPal! I have perks for sale.

I'd rather the squad be given the option of putting a "tax" on the perks of its members - the perk points add up until you have enough to create squad missions using perked aircraft.   That would allow us to run B-29 raids, or perked fighter sweeps on squad night without making the members use their own personal perkies for it.

[Chalenge]

Rule 7 prohibits me from describing why this is a bad idea, but I don't believe Hitech would fall for it now since he has passed it by every time before that it has been requested.

Not sure what a good use would be, but many veteran players have more perks than they will ever need or want.  Could be fun if there was some use for them.

I will pay the perks for 75 rooks in 262s to go strafe down the enemy HQ!


Edit:
Then bail out and prevent ressuply with our pistols!

[potsNpans]

Squash idea, earn your own way.

[Someguy63]

I dont see the point in making them non refundable.
Land the plane. The perks go back to their original owner minus whatever perks the player may have earned as a result of the flight. Get killed and perks are lost just as they normally would be.

Doesnt matter to me. I have like 11 or 12K worth of fighter perks as I rarely take perk rides. But Over the years Ive been in squads where a perk ride was suggested then nixed because one member didnt have the perks to take it

Like borrowing books from a library?
