maybe. it'd all depend on how long this production is out. but then i stop and think about how it'd make ganging even worse, especially with such relatively small-scaled maps for the # of players in primetime, and how it'd put the side in the bucket in an even deeper hole, making it an unenjoyable experience.

not to mention that at certain times of the day, one side or another has # advantage, i.e., midday EST knits have # = to both bish and rooks combined, and it'd be detrimental to enjoyment for the people who play at those times not having the ride they'd like to fly, simply because they don't have nbrs, nor the real ability to stop (a) 35k lasersight buff(s).

so, no. i don't like the concept.

IMO
In the MA all planes should be un-perked.
Ya want real - go to the CT.
Spits on P-51s, LA7 against everything. MA is fantasy:D
So why perk anything? Oh.... I remember now. The F4U-c LOL

fair enough...how 'bout being able to destroy a countrys ability of launching those bombers? Time would be a factor but I'll bet you're right, too many people would either log or change sides just because their ride isn't available. I think it might be good for a CT type of arena though.

I got a better Idea Remove the perk system and the jets from the MA. Use the perk system in the CT and when we have enough planes (specially early war) for each country and/or service use the perk system as a ranking scructure (opening up planes age sets). Use the jets scrictly for CT LW (And mabey IJA who developed a jet almost identical to the me262 but it never saw service) and special events. the perk system in the MA sucks its better to use it for the CT and special events.

I disagree with the statement that only the best pilots would fly the high-perks, they don't do that now, nor do they fly the ubberlaseven...allot.   I would love to see less of the La-7.  It's only advantage really is horsepower, and that is easily countered.  I'm sort of beginning to like the IDEA of a "furball island" arena, just like the old "Fightertown" of Air Warrior.  I really think it's warranted.  If we had that...both all the furballers and all the land-grabbers of the community would be happy.  Unfortunately what we have is a main arena where everyone has to find thier niche.  

  I personally can't stand it when I've created a mission to capture a base and a horde of drooling gangbanger La-7/Nik sticks show up and ruin the fun.  Sure, they help cap the base a bit but forget talking them into knocking ack down or straffing a city...FORGET IT!  They aint there to contribute to the objective.

  I also get peeved when I'm trying to enjoy a nice furball and some land-grabbing fluffy buff twit comes along and destroys the fun.  I've seen some of the best, long lasting, nobody's worried furballs be completely destroyed by a single fluffy who's only goal is to what seems to be...piss off both sides.

   I think we need another main centered on furballing.  No capturable bases...none even damageable.  Just planes...all of them.

 If I remember right....HiTech once posted that this was the one thing he hated most about Air Warrior.  I wouldn't count on it ever happening...HOWEVER COOL IT WOULD BE!! lol.  Heck..if I remember right the spit factories were only down like 15 minutes (and I went to my wits end killing them lol...I really hated spitdweebs in AW lol).

 On a side note...did you EVER find an FW factory to kill in AWIII?  I didn't.  I'd heard they were supposed to be there though.

How about limiting the number of each ride capable from each airbase??  That could work.  Naturally La-7's and Niks would be 1 each, thankyouverymuch.
