new perk planes

I'd be curious to see a small perk value (T-34/85 style) on the ENY5 planes like P-51D, Spit16, 190D9 for example. I'd love to see the same on the Wirble. It'd be more of a psychological thing though.

Yes! It's all about psychology. Its why the Tempest and F4u4 arnt the most used planes regardless of a "minor" perk cost. At 12 eny for the 190D and Yak3, you get a lot of perks and dont feel the stigma of flying an super late war monster, even though they are, similar to a La7 or Nik or P51 in the fighter sense.

the immense amount of 30 and 20 mm

Should we perk the IL2 also?
IMO Perks should be determined by survivability as well as lethality. Although 110/ TA152 have guns that shred targets, They make for easy targets once you lost your speed and alt.
K4 takes a special person to fly well but those that are good in it are great. My point being that a novice can jump into a tempest and get some decent kill counts.
I am surprised HORRIDO has not dis owned you for this post

P51 and Dora are a pretty even fight right.... but 51 is eny 5 and the other 12....why?

Because 51 has better range....rockets and 2x1000 bombs.  That is why the difference.

Another example. D9 vs K4 again close fight....why the eny difference?

Answer - Compressability.

I guess.... but the LA7 doesn't carry much and has a short range. It also is only good down lower.

not that I care, honestly.

Days of past we were infested with LA7s and Spit 16s like we are now with the Yak3s. Not sure if that was the reason to bring it to a 5 eny plane or not.

I think perking planes is a bad idea.  ENY limiting, as much as I dislike it, is better IMO.  Perking a plane, people suddenly fly to live much much more than if it's unperked.  I think most would agree, we already have plenty of people who one pass haul backside without adding more planes to that list.

My personal theory is there are a few planes, like the Yak and maybe 109K, that have much higher ENY than they likely deserve to give people something to fly when ENY is higher.
