That is a fair point but individual opinions are not the focus when discussiing an entertainment based on interaction?

The #1 ranked fighter pilot was interacting a damn lot with other players, at a very high rate. Much more than, for example, #5 - me.

In November 2025, Lusche will return for a 20th anniversary tour. Get your tickets now!

Does TheJudge make the case that the 190d should be perked? Sure seems like it. 190D is now surpassing the P51 in most kills and has .05 better K/D than the P51, which is quite a lot. I realize this is mostly because of the TheJudge skewing the #s. But it does show what a menace to the game that plane can be in the hands of someone who flies it too much. I'm sure with the amount of kills he has in that thing, more than a few players have been turned off from the game by it. Any plane that can accel quickly and dive at 550 mph is a very advantaged in the game today.

The tempest should be perked much higher aswell. The spit16 and La7 perked.

I'd like to see the top ranked fly not so dweeby gun n run planes all of the time, leave those to the "Noobs". Which is the excuse I get when "those planes shouldn't be perked to give the noobs a chance". They have no chance if top ranked players are mostly flying them too.

I thought it implicit that entertainment needed to require a bit of 'win' on both sides (if not necessarily 50-50), not just sitting on a perch or patrolling at alt looking for easy kills when others are disadvantaged be it through engagement or otherwise. I'd rather describe that as an asymetrical exploitation.

Anyone who plays hours like that will get very good at gunnery (higher percentage of trigger time) and risk-assessment. I don't consider him a very good pilot. A good accountant maybe.

Of course. That's the rub of "it's his $15". If three people don't bother resubscribing because...

Lusche, he ^ (Violator) is a good pilot.  :aok  I don't think we've ever fought Lusche so I simply don't know. No offence inferred.

I invite them all to fly in the October scenario.

For glorious combat in a battle over Sicily.

Accounting is logical, poker is rational. You can only be one  :old:
