Crazy Idea

[Slade]

I have not posted an idea hear in a LONG time.  You guys aren't gonna let me post another after this I'm sure!

Hey, lets make perky planes have a quota.  For example, only a maximum of 3 LA7s can be up at one time per side.  Same with Spit16's, FW-190d9's  etc.

Why?

Might nudge guys to fly a more diverse plane set and actually engage in more combat.  ;-)

[AAIK]

Does ENY include this functionality?

[BowHTR]

None of the planes you listed are perked. However, -1. ENY does enough limiting.

[Slade]

I said "perky".  I could have used other terms for these type planes. ;-)

YES!

A man can dream. 

I dunno, I kinda' want to see ENY abolished...this is an alternative.  Except then people would have a second account and sit in the hangar in enemy country ENY/perk planes...   

[BowHTR]

YES!

I'll laugh when you cant get in your Pony due to it being limited.

+1. Either that, or change the name of the game to "P-51s high, and a few other planes..".

I'm getting real tierd of running 51s. Recently, I came across a 51 at 14k while I was at 12k in a Ki-61. He dove for me and I dodged the attack. As soon as I pointed my plane at him he dove for his field ak.

It was a repeat of that type of thing all night with different 51 pilots.

It's to the point where if I get in a fight with a 51 that "extends" beyond icon range after every pass, I either fly away to find a real fight or just bail and give the popsiclecat a kill. I don't care about score.

I think you should just make it so that you only get a limited number of kills in any particular airplane. Once you hit your quota in say a tempdoraspix16u4-3 its off limits for the rest of the tour. (I'm sure there will be overwhelming support for this idea.) Also allow unlimited perk free use of 163 at all mini V-bases.

Won't matter much compared to now.  It's always limited.

Id love to see something done as well. I dont know that "limiting" anything is the way to go, after all look at how ENY is so well received.    I think a "carrot" would work out better. I dont know what that is. One idea is with so many newer/rookie/below average players hurting for Perks maybe HTC could give away a higher perk multiplier and add a big ad/message of the day pointing out how 5 kills in a P40 will earn you twice as many perks as a "win the war" total.

Most of the guys that DO fly the high ENY planes certainly dont need the perks, but with them being easier to earn for the newer/rookie/below average players maybe it would get them into those rides.

      when using high ENY planes.
     1 altitude
     2 teamwork..... a rotte or schwarm.
     3  study strengths and weaknesses of all planes,
     4 keep your eyes peeled.

I like that idea.  The kill limit could be 10 x ENY rating, even if ENY was disabled.

An alternative to this idea would be to have a limit on an ENY rating, instead of individual models.
ENY x 10 = limit, so:
50 kill limit in 5 ENY rides
100 kill limit in 10 ENY rides
150 kill limit in 15 ENY rides
etc.


There would need to be snowflake rooms with crayons and puppies if this ever came to pass.

What about players whos hobby it is to only fly a particular plane? Will they be able to play for say $3 a month?

I said "perky". 

Thing is though. every plane is 'perky' relative to something else. Are you essentially proposing a declining ladder of interactive availability until only Hurricane Mark Is are available?

Or the P-40 

[Zoney]

Yeah, let's not take away from enjoyment others may have flying the plane of their choice anymore than it is now.

[Becinhu]

I wouldn't put a Dora in that list. Unless it is an experienced person in it it's kind of a one trick pony. Now a good stick who knows E management and which tanks to burn off it's a monster...most people flying it in the MA aren't in that class. I'm always more concerned when I see a d40, g6, or f6f. Those three in the hands of a good stick are lethal.
