Wotan, I don't care about costs, the perked planes are perked and should remain so.
It's just an example of what one plane can do, when planes which are needlessly crippled, but should perform better, fail to reach that level.
Again, Like I am forced to replay to you every time, since you apparently havn't read a single word I've written. THE PERK COSTS ARE FINE. The gangbang tags are the problem. And yes, any plane with gangbang tags will be singled out in a fight. The only survivable way to fly them is to stay above everyone else.
If you change the F4U-1C tag from F4U to F4U1C, it's k/d ratio will go down fast. The F4U-1C is an example of what happens when a good plane gets perked. The same effect would happen with the p51d, 190d, la7, etc. All three of which I'd be willing to bet(perhaps with the exception of the la7 which would have gangbang tags) would get a k/d ratio above the f4u4, spit14, or ta152.
Your argument about pilots without much time in them flying the f4u4 and spit14 does hold some water though. Most of the people who have spent any time in them know the problems of being gangbanged in them, and the lack of fun of having to spend the time to get enough alt to be safe.
So basicly, your argument comes down to "People don't gangbang perk planes." Perhaps you havn't flown an f4u4 near a furball recently.
The prices are right. Perhaps even too low, as it stands now I can fly an f4u4 for a whole tour. The problem is that people DO lock onto the tags. People WILL dive from 20000feet to kill a perk plane when there are plenty of other targets around. Remove the perk tags.
