I will quote Bustr here

 -1 I don't like his idea, because it will make more people unhappy, and does not improve game play.

The debate is that he can't explain why forcing people to fly old planes makes the game better. He just keeps repeating that's better. But why is having 20% of the folks in la7s and Mustangs killing the 50% in P-39s and P-40s "better" ?  think about this nonsense. Vet pilots who rack up lots of kills, hence lots of Perk points, will now have an even greater advantage as 80% of the Melee arena pilots will be forced into mid and early war planes.   And this is better game play?  :headscratch: 

There are really only 4  super planes in the game. 262, arodo, B-29, and ME-163. They are heavily perked. Like the TigerII is.


As a category there is no shortage of diversity in the late war planes set, or in their use. So his claim there is a problem that needs to be fixed is "Fake News". There is no problem, hence his idea is not a solution to it. In short, there is no reason that having a uniform distribution of plane use, or a left shifted one, as he proposes, is better for anything.

I don't want to force new players into early war plane.

The change to the perk system I'd be interested in trying out is a very light perking of just a few more planes - the same way its done with GVs. - like Oboe said

List of planes for possible light perking:

Spitfire Mk XVI
Ki-84-Ia
La-7
Yak-3
P-38L
P-51D
N1K2
P-47M
F4U-1A
190D-9

Trade one set of popular planes for another set is all that it will accomplish.

No matter what you do there is going to be a top ten popular plane set.  Perk this set, and the next set will rise to the top.  What do you do then?  Perk them too?

Arbitrarily perking rides serves no positive purpose.

Looks like you had a random drawing to determine placement in your pyramid.  Some of those are bombers.  And the Spit8 and perked Corsairs in the third tier... :rolleyes:

We are not telling what choices to make, we draw conclusions from the choices people make.

And the conclusion is that people with 'the choice'  fly late war planes in majority.




No, you are trying to tell people what to fly and when to fly it.  That's been the crux of your wish the entire time, you want people to play how you want them to play and fly what you think they should fly.

None of those late war planes have a negative effect on game play, no reason to perk them.

LOL!  the P-38L need to be perked?  How does the Lightning unbalance the game play?
