Perks should be tied to monthly ranking where #1 fighter pilot is limited to early/mid planes the following tour with say anyone ranked under 100 is also very heavily perked to fly anything but the least perked planes

hell no, I don't play for score, but sometimes I'll rank below 100. take away my pony with anything other than eny and i can assure you, I'll be crashing planes left and right on runway till i make sure I'll rank 1,000,000. or I'll just quit.

i do my weekly fso where more than likely i fly planes i don't want to fly and that's as far as I'll go.

you all must looking to get rid of some players-something like this would do it. people pay to play and fly/drive what they want. the plane i have a problem is the yak3, but it can be countered.

Have to be much more patient in the MA with a p40, especially when you don't have a group of friendlies to bail you out. Extremely tough against 3 yak3s and 2 la7s. Makes the game much more challenging.  Being successful in the MA in older slower planes, is the epitome of being really good since you actually have to fight your way out.


Agreed.

or with all due respect, nobody stops you from flying high eny, just like i don't force you to fly low eny planes.

and I'm way too old to be called snowflake. i prefer old and cranky, I've earned that.

The problem is always going to be the part where the veterans cash in those perks;

Instead of slamming ideas into the ground we should actually research them, even if we decided later to do nothing with them.

Exactly.  Well said sir.  :salute
