Tour 20 Fighter Vs stats

[lazs1]

wotan... U are correct.  The best pilots don't allways get the most points but it is a good general rule.  If said pilots
 are flying low perk gaining planes, for short hours per tour, getting high K/D and low total kills... they may not be as good as they think they are tho.   The guys who live on line get a lot of perks but mediocre pilots like me wh fly an average amount in an average plane get a lot of perks too.   But who cares?   Some, as you say, are not suited to fly perks.  I don't fly em and have thusands of perks built up.   I don't enjoy the advantage that the PLANE gave me.  That is the "fair" part.  

Hazed... the perk system can work on paper if "working" means that yu will see each plane a like amont of time.   It is simply a matter of assigning perk points to each plane according to it's USE.   This is not my idea of fair  "working"  this is merely mental masterbation and an arena devoid of  real fairness.   An arena that has spit ones and 262's is a joke.  What?  You don't think we need early war planes?  Well then... maybe in a late war only arena the perk system will work.   I hate the idea of allied vs axis... there never was much of a time period where there was parity and variety is totally gone with such a setup.  let the MA be nationless.   I do not wish re-enact WWII... I read the book.   I know how each part of it comes out and why.   Being a windsheild is no more atractive to me than being the bug.  I want to play a game.   A game needs some rules that enforce parity.   A game that I play a lot needs variety.   The DIRECTION that perk points have taken us is wrong.... it has destroyed parity and variety.

Oh well.... I have posted my thoughts on a modified RPS or, better yet, an "area" arena for the MA many times so I believe I can say that i don't criticise without ffering some solution.   I know that HTC feels that eventually we will have enough player base to have several arenas but.....  

Maybe I will just post the whole thing in detail and get out of this thread.   I was not the one who hijacked it tho hazed.   I responded to you and then deja.

What doesn't make sense is your saying that a Superior(ok perked) Aircraft should be perked.

NOT!!!
Check this out:  
I did a quick sort on the fighter data for Tour 20.  Descending order by K/D+1 ratio.

The perk fighters occupy the top 3 slots for all the fighters!!!

I wasnt arguing over what should and shouldnt (if anything) be perked, i was pointing out that showing kill to death ratios isnt a good way to argue if perking is effective in controling who is "owning" the arena.

As i said, perked air craft should have good k/d ratios, you got a better air craft and better pilots flying them. Less sorties, less people taking off from bases under attack and other scenerios that you would want to put a costly air craft in.

If you want to prove the perk system doesnt work you would want to show that they have 10x more kills and are flown more than any other air craft, which isnt the case.

The perk system is to balance usage, not to make any planes less effective.  I say Perk the N1K to drop it's usage a bit.  Just a small perk.  Say 5 pts.  Most people who "must" fly a N1K would still fly it and 5 perks are easy to earn.

My $.02!
