Looking at last months stats, wow. I've never seen such high K/Ds before. The TEMPEST was the 4th most used plane at 1652. Had 1,100 more kills than a 262 and had the best K/D at 6.38. Spit16, 2,794 kills with a 1.4 k/d. 190D had a 1695 kills with a 1.3K/D vs a P51d with 1981 kills and only a 1.04 k/d. La7 had 1423 kills with a 1.4 k/d. The 109k hit over a 2 k/d with over 1k kills! The p47M had a 1.88 k/d with over 1k kills.
Realize that we had 17,376 less deaths and 16,068 less kills this October vs last October. Last October the Tempest only had 1,184 kills with a 5.58 k/d.
In any case, flying high and timid in easy mode planes really isn't doing much to help the game. The constant ganging in these planes is very tough for players. If majority of players are in these planes, it's certainly not helping noobs.
The Tempest especially needs a higher perk value. It's becoming way too over used as a crutch for players to run and pick the cycle just forces more players to fly this way which is a boring and slow gameplay.
I think it would go a long way for veteran players especially to get out of the Temps, 190Ds, spit16s, and La7s and make the arena more inviting for fights instead of pick, run, and gang, in my easy mode later war cannon machine.
Just saying.
