Give underdogs incentive!

Free Perk planes to any country that has 5 fields or less!

Free perkies for 5 fields or less....I'm gonna be  waitin on that one.  I can see the vulchmasters now killing 262 after 262 on the runway and goin home and gettin 3,000 perk points

On the other hand, upping 262's from a base further away would make reaction time a whole lot faster and goon interception more effective.  

Either way, I like it

Sounds good except maybe up to planes that cost no more than 60 points.   Hordes of 262's wouldn't be much fun for anybody to deal with.

Only early war planes at forward fields, mid war planes next, then late war planes at rear fields.  A country down to its last fields would have late war planes to defend against the attacker's early war stuff.

Unless, of course, the enemy had made a deep strike to capture rear fields first.

I think the final resets (once down to 5 bases) are drawn out far too long as it is.  How about limiting people to Vals and C.202s once they are down to 5 fields?

[Pongo]

10k air launches for the last 3 fields.

[Ripsnort]

How about Free Pizza and Beer delivered to your door when your country is down to 5 fields?!?! (Obviously a ploy by the enemy to get you to log off while they reset!)

Add to that, NO country transfers when country X = <10 bases!

Vulch Light on

I think HTC should stick to the original idea of a dynamic system to reduce perk points for the underdog country. Sure,they'd still be perked but at a cost that wouldn't make them a pain the buttocks , meaning it would still not dominate,but making them affordable while avoding something like the 262 scenario.

Well IMO the problem doesnt lie with the giving the ganged country perked planes, it lies within the 3 country set up.
IMO it plain ole sux, and doesn't work.
The results are that one country tends to get ganged and the other two pick over the remains of the ganged country in a race to get perk points. By that time, it has long since become no fun at all for the losing country.
If yer gonna talk about a fix, consideration should be given to a fundamental change in the 3 side setup. I believe it may result in less milkrunning; more singleness of purpose; and there may be a lil something for everyone eg. the furballers and the strat/buff types.

Some kind of perk incentive for the underdogs is a good idea, except that the perk system already doesn't provide any incentive whatsoever for anything.

You must have hit [enter] too soon. You forgot to include "..for me." at the end of that line.

Ok, people avoid flying the n1k2, spit9, la7 and p51d so that they can earn the perks they need to fly the unbelivably fun spit14, f4u4, and 152!

Or rather, people fly the n1k2, spit9, la7, p51d because its not worth earning perks to fly a perk plane only to get gangbanged.

Hehe, interesting. The notion of perks for the gangee won't work but, the idea of changing the 3 side configuration gets no play
I take it that losing the perpetual gangee is much too radical a notion?

[Innominate]

As has been pointed out, a two sided war is even worse.  The thing with the three sided system is that the side with the most people can still be ganged.

IMO the best fix for gangbanging is a setup like AKDesert, where it's difficult to gangbang except near the end.
