S!
This tour is the very first one for me to fly perk plane. I've lost 4 Tempests (if my memory serves);
Lost 2 in discos (DOH! HTC should compensate that ;) ) and 2 in vertical HO's (DOH DOH!!)
So, I've lost 280 in this tour, can't recall how much with my previous handle...

Btw, IMO Tempest ENY should be increased. Yes it's very capable fighter, but getting 1.21 perks from 5 kill sortie sounds pretty low concidering that "TEMP" icon alerts all "kamikaze-perk-plane-hunters" around.
So with this math, I should kill 289 nme's in order to gain 1 Tempest.  :cool:

I thought it would have been more than that? But oh well:)

Last tour I lost about 1000, before that hardly any. I don't like the extra attention perk planes give me when I'm usually already outnumbered 2:1 to begin with :)

I only have a little over 100 bomber perks and 100 gv perks, which is a symbol of how much time I have spent in either:) I bet it is actually  alot of fun, I need to try it some.

I have just topped a little over 200 fighter perk points - most of them gained from being online when Bishops won the war!  ROFL!  :D

Creamo,

 I just fairly recently finally received enough bomber points to get the 234 (jetbomber) and so I choose it and go to take off, let it go ahead and roll to the end of the runway and it absolutely will not lift off. I ended up crashing it..

After mentioning this to my countrymen they suggested I learn in offline mode, so I'm doing that but I've noticed that it's just absolutely overwhelmingly underpowered and even at a large base runway you gotta hold it up for a while before it will stay up under it's own speed and it's stalling all the while.

I'm going to guess that in RL they must have had really really long runways surrounded by plenty of flat field type area in order to get off the ground.

Other than that I don't keep a close tally on perk points or how many I land after a mission. I mostly fly the P47D30 right now because it's the first plane I've chosen to learn..when I am up in a perk plane I'm super careful about getting it home and sometimes that kinda ruins the fun of just rushing in and seeing if I can make it out alive again.

I really wish we had a perk vehicle tho because I have points earned and they just sit there doing nothing for now...I can't even convert them over to bomber or fighter perks so that i can use em.

most of you it seems have lost more points that I have even made yet.

If I go 2-1 in any plane, I'm just whippin ass, and I think I do in the Dora, but it don't build much.

The shocker is bomber perks which I lost in 2 runs.

For some reason, a fully loaded German jet thing with the rocket take-off gets enough speed to get up, and then stalls out.

Ballsy guys that flew it loaded up in reality, I've never got it up unless it was a cliff base, or a flat long run.

Was it so underpowered?

In the last year below is what I have lsot for perk rides.

F4U-C          246      (at 8x each this would be         1968)
ME-262        9          (at 200x each this would be     1800)
Temp           4          (at 60x each this would be        240)
TA-152         2          (at 30x each this would be         60)
F4U-4           2         (at 50x each this would be         100)
AR234          1                                                              60

So the total estimated is about   ------------------->   4228

I have about 1k Fighter 1.5k Bomber and 2.5k Vehicle on the books right now.


FYI, all these numbers are from the scores page, which is not completely accurate. I know this because I augered in a ME-262 about 2 or 3 weeks ago and neither Tour 27 or Tour 28 show a death in the ME-262.

If we are going to have perks then I may as well use them, but personally if we aren't going to perk everything to some extent, then don't perk anything is my opinion :rolleyes:

I know now Skurj. But at the time I wanted to use it I just didn't know how.



now I can take off without using RATO and save it for other uses =)

I've lost a total of 8 perks, lost a C-Hog once and flew a 262 once. Guess I like killing perk planes more than flying them :cool:
