Sorry to say half of those top 8 I see just picking at furball/ base takes. They have nothing to do with fighting the horde. They go where the fight is and pick and run.... nothing special, Just racking up kill counts like it might impress the girls.  :D

Don’t feed the horde clowns.   

If you’re flying as a rook when it’s 18 bish vs 4 rooks and 3 knights, you need to adjust your play. 

In these instances, why not pad your score with the hordelings instead of asking for troops at field A1….never mind the fact that two hours of flaccid attack couldn’t prep. the town.   

It’s time for basic strategy classes.

Most people are like everything else in this universe. Following the path of least resistance. There is nothing to be done about it.

1 person attacking a horde makes sense, but I'm always seeing Temps with # advantage in the fight. Less people flying them is the key. Only the people who have the ability or want to spend the perks will roll one to take on the horde. Most of these players are not rolling to attack the horde. They are the horde. Making them 200 perks would curtail dependence on these planes a little. This plane gets a 5 K/D (highest in the game) with the top 3 most kills. Its 32 perks for me right now in game, if I die! It's too easy right now and it's lazy, but I can't see this over dependence benefitting the game.
On auto switch always fighting larger numbers,90% of time I am carrying bombs if no bombers to hit go after gvs. This puts me below pickers and down they come. Tempest speed used to reset. I currently have the most kills using hit and run normally fighting higher numbers and playing alone

I'm considering it. I agree it's numbers are high for a plane with already a 15 cost.

The whole "earning perks for war win" is why you see 23 bishops vs 2 rooks and 3 knights most every morning and then only have 4 bishop left after the war is won and perks are given.

The perk cost of temps could be 50-75 yet I find it doubtful that it would impact its usage due to amount of perks that most players have accumulated. So either perks would have to be reset, which would anger a few players i suspect, or certain aircraft/vehicles would have to be limited by aggregate flight time maybe.

TBH, I wish perks were used whether you land or not.

I think the perk for Temps should more or equal to a 262. It's just as good or better and the cannons are easier to hit and the best in the game.

I appreciate you looking at it Hitech. 👍

Always thought all the brit planes had lasers for cannons

One ping and a wing falls off...not to mention the lazy Susan turning in place ability...always thought they were beginner planes

You'd think a decent pilot would be embarrassed to fly them

Hispanos are the best cannons in the game. The ones the temp has are the ultimate best. The spit16 is one of, if not the only plane that can do a triple emmilman. Easily one of the best planes but its speed is why it's K/D doesn't do so well overall. People get picked easily trying to TnB all of the time. Can you blame em. The spit5 use to be the all out dueling monster before its knees were capped and adjustments were made when the spit16 and spit 8 were introduced to the game. I do believe they are great training planes for new guys.

The spit9 is one of my favorite planes. It's such a fun bird and doesn't have the speed it needs, but its super fun in a turn fight and furball. I usually choose that if I I'm defending and want to fly something fun. The spit8 is also fun. While it does appear they can quickly snap turn. The 109s actually turn fight just as well and have more flaps for control. With the spit, you have to be very careful about using the flaps because it can really hamper your E and also get you into the dreaded upside down flat spin. I know for me, flying the spit16 and Tempest definitely feels like I'm cheating so I atleast try to grab a spit9 to make it a bit more challenging.

With auto switch on, its really hard to lose perks even when flying the Tempest exclusively, it definitely needs a price increase.  I would use it when I was overseas, usually the sole defender against 5+ players, one kill would get me enough perks to rebuy it easily, but I'd usually end up with 10+ k/d.
