NO!!!!!

When you find time to play...fly zeros or early 109s...

Or for our Allied friends fly a wildcat or p40 or spit 1


Don't fly those weak-link AC -  fly a D11, F4F, or maybe a P-40

If you are an average player, you can still make a shipload of perks by doing a couple of things:

1: Fly into a red horde, not a green one.  You will die more, but also kill more.  Ganging will get you an assist more often than not.

2. Whenever possible, fly for the low numbered country.  The perk point bonus can pay big dividends, even on single kills.

3. Fly less popular planes.  You don't have to fly 40 ENY.  In fact, some of the best perk generators are in the 25-35 range:

109G-14
F4U-1
FM2
C.205
P-38G
P-47D-11
Mossie
Ki-61
La-5
190A-5


All of these are capable and get you many more perks/kill than 5 ENY rides ever will.

Landing two kills in a 5 ENY ride gets you 2 perks.  Killing one 5 ENY ride in a 30 ENY ride (and dying) gets you 6 perks.

Perk points comes almost for free, GV and Bomber perks can be earned by resupplying. A few runs w an m3 gives you a bunch of T34-85/M4-76 or even a Panther or a Firefly.
fighter perks can be earned by dropping bombs on stuff, you dont even have to kill anyone. it is almost no effort needed at all.

Until it is absolutely no effort will you win the OP over.
