1 bonus plane for each country

[minus]

why not ? we have diferent countrys so something more significative like only name and icon symbol, some  extra bonus plane for each country , something rare and minimaly perked  so newbies cant cry they canot fly it


minimal perk are necesery  and nobady can find 3 perk points  to expensive


some sugestions ?

for the choice ?

[Karnak]

Neat idea, but isn't the CT there for this?

I've only flown Rook (except for at the Con) and I'd hate to be forced to fly Bish or Knit because they've got the only Spit XIVs.

right karnak, but  i think about ,,SPECIAL  BONUS,, plane

to something atract and fidelize each country players

so the  big migrations of nations be reduced and maybe sides more balanced,



or beter when the country fall down to last 5 fields < the agony>
the Special Bonus plane is free , so even the most blody gang bang will wery hardly hurt atacker and reduce milk run capture

so dont wory about the spit

Karnak, trust me Knights dont want a Spit XIV.

We would be satisfied with a TA 183 jet fighter.

Interesting Naudet,

The big difference is that Spit XIVs saw heavy service from the beginning of 1944 to the end of WWII whereas the Ta183 existed only on the drawing board and some scale models for glide and wind tunnel testing.

Believe me you, Knights want the Spit XIV too.  The vocal LW fans on this BBS do tend to fly Knights, but they are only a very small percentage of the total Knight population.

How else do you explain all of those Knight Spitfire IXs, N1K2s, P-51Ds and La-7s I run into?

[Naudet]

Karnak, i hope you didnt take this choice seriously.

And about the increase in P51, Spits, Nikis and LA7s.
I noticed that those planes get very popular within the knightsland lately.
But the one reasons i could figure out is, that a great proportion of the good old LW jockeys (like me) switched to those birds together with the newbies that tend to fly those planes.

i.e. my time in LW birds has reduced to about 20% of my flight time since 2 month (before it was about 80%), cause i dont see a reason to fly an LW bird, when i can get a lasergun-3000lbs payload-flying tank in blue or silver for free. Or on the other hand, why take a rocket-climber LW bird when i have the choice to fly 2 planes with whom i can win most fights from a disadvantage, and were i am ready to fight right when i get of the runway.

Not to mention that in the hours i fly, i rarely ever see a 109er or 190 brought in by the rooks or bishs. There were and are days were i fly 3-4 hours and in this time the only planes i see are Spits, Nikis, LA7s and an occasional P51 at 20-25k.

To get Knights back to LW, i might be good to add a TA152C (not the H) as bonus plane. But this than should have it real performance not like the cut down TA152H. Or didnt you know that AHs TA152 is about 10-12 mphs to slow?

[Wilbus]

Not to mention that it is outperfomed by spit 9's at 40k.

Still don't understand why it is perked.

Well, Add the Spit XIV and Add the DO335 (didn't see much service though).

at last Knights  know what hey like !

in knigit land we got many non LW squads  who can and know how to fly Lw planes !!!!!:p

but, i know many  other squads  the have names of LW   but wery wery rarely seen in Lw plane


definitely for oportunist the Bonus plane for each country is bad think , how the poor guy will now make hiz choice ?

[Tac]

I think a better compromise would be to make certain perk rides be CHEAPER in a given side.


Currently:
262=200 perks
F4u4=60
F4uC=8
Arado=60
Ta152=30
Tempest=70

Nicely, there's 6 perk rides. That makes it an even 2 per side.

So, say,

Bish:

F4u4=40
Ta152=10

Knits:
262=150
F4uC=4

Rooks:
Arado=40
Tempest=50

Each side will still have access to the other perk planes, but at their base cost.

[hitech]

My question is why? I can list a few resones why not.

[minus]

god point HT ,  

1  to fidelize country players, so maybe more balanced sides when each side can propose something more personal like a diferent icon

2 it was never fun to fight superior numbers , so when the 1 side begin seriously losing instead of deprimation  when losing,  the last chance, the  bonus plane become free

so no reason to give up when last 3 fields they have

and gang bang will be les efective they have to use strategic way like to  dry out fuel on all fields and others
