This statement implies YOU think fun emerges from a more even match of planes, YOU have recently been campaigning to perk planes by generation and yet now YOU are stating any plane can be taken on in any plane. You even contradict yourself. Again.

You can fight any plane in any plane, given the circumstances. In general a 262 pilot will find himself in an advantage over a spit 1 pilot BUT there will be times when a spit 1 pilot will find himself in an advantage over a 262 and he will shot down a 262.

A more even match of planes, gives everyone a fair chance and at the same time, makes the use of all planes.

Come off it Nuget, now you're resorting to a moving goalpost argument.

Getting lucky against a a cack pilot in a better plane doesn't make your point for you. There is no finer subtlety that let's you wriggle out of this one. I have you, like a maggot, wriggling howwibly on a hook. Howwibly.

That's why perks come in, you don't see everyone flying a 262 because that's the point, in general a 262 would have an advantage over other planes.

A p51d or 190d  in general have an advantage over an i16 or spit 1 and it is free, and those few times an i16 finds itself in advantage and can take a few pot shots but it doesn't mean it has advantage all the time, but yes you can still fight a p51 in a i16, you just cannot do that effectively as you would in a 190d9.


That's why no one flies 'a cack' plane, because they know they have no chance vs late war planes which *dominate* the MA.  However if everyone was on a cack plane and there was less of 'late war monsters' it would be like a situation of current late war planes vs 262 like it is on arena.

I'm sorry to say this Nuget, but I think your evaluations tend to show a profound inexperience. It's all rather surface and assumption-based.
You don't really factor in the human element or are able to seperate correlation and causation. Some of your scenarios are just contrived from the extremes and never really happen: "If nrshida found himself in a Lion cage, with a lamb chop tied around his neck...".

Like I said before it's really no fun and there's really no point discussing things with you. You KNOW you're right, seems to be your baseline. If the game is changed in the style you suggest, I for one will stop playing. But you don't seem to care to hear those sort of things because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Why would you stop playing a game that balances player numbers and makes effective use of all planes in arena?

I wouldn't. I'd stop playing a game that forced me out of my favourite planes.

Do you want to discuss the balance of me turning on the deck with three opponents? Bet not.

So is it better to sacrifice the whole game so some people can fly 1 plane all the time ?

You cannot draw that conclusion from that premise. You're just talking out the top of your hat. Not for much longer though I think  :D

It doesn't matter what I see because I don't accept your premise. You don't have an argument. You have your preference which you keep reminding us of. You want someone to see a P-40? Fly a P-40. 
Lead from the front. Have fun. :aok

This. I've shown up at big fur ball fights in planes like the Wildcat, hurricane 1, I-16, and P-40. When I get shot down and return, guess what I often see coming up to meet me? I see an early war plane or two.  Players saw me in the old plane and said, "hey, that looks like fun, I'll try that."

Nug, just fly what you want. It's very rewarding to shoot down a 51d with rifle caliber machine guns.
