"I could apply the same argument to the me262, or any of the perk planes."
No you can't, because they weren't ever in AH unperked. The Tempest, 262, etc, have always been perked "special" airplanes and never were "common use" planes. The ONE perk plane for which this argument works if the F4U-1C....and believe me, I sympathice with those C-hog pilots who had their ride "stolen" because of a vocal crowd of whiners.
There is a BIG difference between adding something "special" to a game, and taking away a long-time feature.
A separate, new MA with an RPS might work. Lazs' area for early rides might work. A new amd improved CT might work. What will NOT work is removing many of the "foundation" airplanes of AH from everyday use.
