One problem is that it's an infinitely worse whinestorm if you come out with something for a tour, THEN perk it, than if you perk it to begin with. I agree it's best to test marginal perks first.

If it's rare and performs exceptionally (La-7, Tempest, F8F, etc.)

Umm...one of these is not like the other :-) The La-7 turned up in the summer of 1944 (same as the P-51D) and existed in large numbers. It's just an La-5FN with the same engine, greatly cleaned up aerodynamics (I've seen anywhere from 10 to 25 mph faster) and one more cannon.

No way it needs to be perked. Rumors of its uberness are likely greatly exaggerated :-)

To add to what Torgo is saying...if we had the P51B, then the P51D should be perked, no?

LA-5>>LA-7 is what the P51B>>P51D was..

I meant K/D ratio; Not number of kills...

Yep I can see my first ride in the perked TA 152:

At 32k defending HQ, attacking a B17 from his Hi 12------closing at 450mph-----range 600 getting ready to pull the trigger---ping pi-----you have been killed.

Well that was fun!

Well we already have the whine storm with the C-hog. Their going to perk it from what I understand. It's the only way to accurately see how good they are. If they don't do that it will be subjective and not in accordance with the current rational for the perk point system. Sure you can expect the F8F or Tempest to whip-up on the arena but if you really want to know how badly you have to add it to the game unperked. Add each one individually. I still say the best way to do it is a ratio of performance to rarity.

It makes no difference- eventually you wind up perking everything except the last plane.

Six years of online simming should reserve a bit of "veteran" status, though I am sure there are others with more time, as if that matters.

Staga, what that was supposed to mean is...the vets have seen it all, seen the most popular planes be flown, seen the 'must wins' fly the best A/C...seen folks post under presumed names to help 'their cause'...oops!

Yes, with no personal agenda, and known to just about everyone as well!

BTW that roflmao came from my own experiences...
Used to have a boss who sometimes yelled "I've done this job over 20 years, I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS!" when I tried to tell him a better way...
We did it his way and company lost lots of money

IMHO The only fighters that should not have some cost are C.202, Spitfire Mk. V, A6M5b, Bf 109F-4, and P-47D-25.

LOL, I had a 'veteran' of AH tell me after a 7 kill sortie in the Zero that I should get out of that 'uber' plane...

Hehehe. Get that uber-pilot out of that plane!
