Let me withdraw the part of my post that says I would be OK with the P-51D being perked. Although I wouldn't mind so much, I cannot speak for my entire squadron which is formed around the P-51. If the D became a perk, I think the concept of an all P-51 squadron would become tough to maintain. It's hard enough now, and the things are all free.

At some point perking planes / vehicles will make the game very one dimensional. The only ones getting the perk rides will be the ones who have the time to game the game and invest the hours to "earn" perk points. Once the majority of planes (or even a significantly large minority) of planes become perked the rest of the players, newbies, part time players and those who just want to have fun flying THEIR choice of plane will become disenchanted with the game. Why pay for something you cannot use? I still manitain the players with the most perk points are the players that need them the least.

If that happens I sincerely hope there is another arena created so that the players will have a greater choice. There could be an arena to allow those who want to fly the "lesser" planes that cannot be competitive against the later war planes and another that is more open to plane choice. Then again it might just be another unerutilized arena like the CT vs the MA. I guess HT will just have to choose which player base to cater to.

I don't know about all these people who complain about that they pay to play the game and should therefore beable to fly everything all the time, no matter what.

Think of all those RPGs out there where you start out as 'joe the poor blacksmith' and all you get is a knife and a leather shield. You have to learn the ropes and gain experience before you can earn the 'Golden Fire Spewing sword of the Gods'

Granted, AH is not an RPG, but the whole concept of trying to not die every 5 minutes does have some appeal.
