I have siad before that perking SOME aircraft adds to a more diverse arena, planes like the temp and the other new aircraft that are perked, but to go back and perk alot of the aircraft we allready have would be quite detrimental.
Reason i say this is that, as i have said in my other post, i have ony just came to AH from WB's in the past couple of months, i did come here before but the learning curve i found to be really steap so i gacve up after my 2 week trial.
What brought me back to try again, succeed in cracking the games flight model and staying puting 30 bucks in to AH account every month was the diversity of the game, the ammount of options i had to choose from and the large and diffrent selection of aircraft to choose from.
Had half the aircraft would have been perked at the time i wouldnt even concider making an effort in a game that requiers such a high learning curve and at the same time demanded me to be a good shot to fly any of the decent planes and i know this applies to alot of other newbies.
Money is what will keep this game going and going and have more and more updates, special with the likes of WWII onlinwe on the horizon.
If you make this game to ELITEest you will be closeing the door to alot of new blood and extra revenue.
You may be S**t hot and demand a more trying eviroment but it will be no good if the numbers dwindle and new blood is hard to come by because many people are turning away for a more aprocherble sim.
i think AH is great, it has so much apeal at the moment, perking like mad will be a signiture on the death warrent of AH.
my 2 cents
