Ar-234: Why is it perked?

[hazed-]

Jochen just to clarify a point

arado production was 274 (30 prototypes,244 production aircraft)
ta152H production estimated at 220 (including prototypes)

if production numbers is your criteria for perking, the F4UC (200 produced), should also be perked.

its speed is the only reason possible that it is perked,and as wobble says,you wont always be flying at over 400 mph so 70 does seem a litle expensive.but it is a test period so im sure it will settle down to maybe 40 perks or so
Im all in agreement that a newbie should be given enough perk points to fly 1 perk plane of their choice just to let them see what its like in MA with a perk ride.

OK...

Westy... you are right. It needs to be perked. Maybe a little cheaper though. Will let Pyro figure that out.

Verm... that 25k P51B was on my high 10:00. I had bombs on. The P51 made a dive past my 8:00 as he turned in to me. I kept it level and hoped for the best. The P51 then managed to get on my direct 6:00 low and had enough speed to get closure. I started to pull up and left to force him to continue climb and turn hoping to bleed his E further. It worked, but he was close enough to fire and blew the oil on my right engine which quit on the spot. I dropped my bombs, turned North and put the nose down. The P51 managed a few more hits after that resulting in the loss of my right aileron, left engine oil leak and damaged nose wheel. I pulled away after that and RTBd.

It was a hair raising event to say the least.

i outran a dora at 10k..i had to push it to the ground to keep the 2.0k distance and the only thing that saved me was that he just lost interest. anything like a L-7,p-51D, P-51B, yakU, YakT, will catch it if they have over 3k at advantage and are reasonably close, and those are not even perk planes. The tempest and the 152 will smear it like nothing.

Wobble, look at what your saying.

If you outran a Dora, your FINE its the fastest non perk plane in the inventory, and easily faster than the La-7, P-51D, P-51B, and the Yak-9U.  

And the Yak-9T ???? The Yak-9T is slow slow slow. Its about as fast as a Spit V if I remember correctly.

And a Perk smearing a Perk as you call it? I see that as the ultimate justice.
