HTC,
Is there any chance that you might consider allowing open availability of the perk planes for everyone - irregardless of perk points - every so often?

I don't get to "fly" as often as others, & it would be nice to finally see what the 262 is like in arena play.

Thanks,

F4i

You have a good point.

Not everyone gets to play hours of AH and rack up many kills. Those less in skill would be lucky if they accumulate 50 perks in a single month.

Something like a free perk night, every last day of a tour, would be very nice.

It doesnt take skill, or even excessive amounts of time to earn perks. All it takes is time spent in 30+ ENY planes. Opening them up to everyone is completly against the whole point.

If you want perks, get the **** out of the spitnikla7pony.

Innominate has a point. However, perk planes have occasionally been free on several occations, usually due to server/tech problems. Enabling them also means that scores must be disabled, something that would enrage the buck-hunters. For those who have little time to invest in AH; Won't they miss a rare and short lasting event?

I think dumping perks would be great for April fools day.

April 1st---for a few hours---everything's free.

Then they should throw in a foo fighter or two.

If word of the "free perk night" is passed on several days in advance, part-time pilots, like me, might still have a chance at participating.

HTC would simply need to make an early announcement.

If you want to see some entertaining Rammjäger fun, deperk the 163 and set its fuel burn rate to 1/10 normal. Then sit back and watch the Buck Rogers war...

Air Warrior periodically had 'jet nights' when the 262 was made availiable to all.

10 hours of craziness about once a month. it was a nice change of pace...
