Ok just to set you all back on the track of my post:
this is to find out why the F4u4 is so high in price NOT a question of whether the perk system is working.
For me personally the perk system seems to do exactly what its intended to do.I dont go flying the best planes in the game all the time because they cost too much.
I absolutely hated the f4uc for killing me in ACM fights where anyother plane wouldnt get the kill, as in desperate sprays at 800-1.1k where 1 rnd would hit like a freight train! but i digress, what i was doing by questioning their values in perk costs was trying to equate their cost to their frequence of use in the MA.
I doubt theres anyone who could argue that the F4uc being perked didnt work and rid us of the F4uc only arena(

).BUT as an exponent of it getting perked even im willing to admit it could probably come down in price some/see more use before it becomes a problem again in terms of overuse (or if we gonna get all pedantic 'prolific' AKD

)
What im hinting at is, ok, so the F4u4 is indeed a great fighter but have any of you got sick of it? been killed by it more times than you care to recall? do you see nothing but them flying around? I sure dont feel this about it, in fact ive never fought one i dont think.
Same for most perk rides really, I think the costs could be looked into a little more closely and adjusted so we see a little more of these aircraft, not too much but a little more.
after all like others have complained of here ie too many la7s/niks/spits/p51ds around, could to some extent be 'eased' if a few more of the people who fly these models could afford a 'resonably' costed perk ride now and then.
couldnt we reduce all costs for 1 tour to test the theory? see if we can find that perfect price/use value?
