Perhaps a limited allotment per player, per tour?  You get a maximum of 10 Tempons, no matter how sweethearty you feel.

these so called "Top tier" players running around in temps and 262s doing nothing but picking these days. Im a bolow average player and I'll fly anything. Wheres the challenge of having one of the top planes and just picking? Get an F4f and see how many you can fight, right Fudgums?  :aok

Different maps should have different  planesets in the name of variety and competitiveness...and gameplay  - you would not want early slow planesets on the largest maps..

Otherwise you will have what you have today..

Those guys care.about quantity rather than quality.  Unfortunately none of them can accomplish the quantity in anything but those rides.

It's a shame.  At least fly a spit16 where running isn't always an option.

Hitech said he would look into increasing the temp cost. Hoping he does. It should be higher than the 262. Its being overflown and not a fun plane to fight against.

Its not so much the plane as it is how its used. If perking it solves exploiting it, then it should be.  I just stopped counting chickens.

Always HO temps or other perk planes, it’s just good economic warfare.

Also if the other guy is in a perk plane he wasn’t looking for a fight anyway.

How does Tempest compare to F4U-4? I think this is more about the player than then plane. Could a good pilot beat the Tempest in question?  :salute

Sure, if the Tempest fights, but they dont. Pick and run is the main tactic. If they get carless and end up in a possible HO, they go for it counting on the cannons and good aim.

A good pilot in a bad plane is great.

A good pilot in a good plane is good.

A good pilot in a great plane is deadly.

Does plane choice matter? Yes.

Does a players skill matter? Yes
