Possible fix for perk system
« on: May 04, 2001, 12:37:00 PM »
As stated I have thought this thru a number of times.  Ask yourself why do you fly the plane that you fly?  Answer normally is well cuz it has great specs.  With the current setup in the MA with the radar and bar dar "whatever it is" we have taken away an essential part of some of these aircraft being able to survive.  

With the AWACS type data we have it is rather hard to hide, and if you lose the enemy your buddy can say (psst) hes over here.  It would be nice to actually be able to use AC and their camoflage schemes.  I don't mind if radar pops on when planes get within say 5-10 miles of field.  But the Dar bar has to go.  Can't find the action?  Thats what the radio bar is for.  First thing I do is ask where is the action and what is needed.  I can thank Santa for his pointing me to the base capture yesterday.

As it is now yeah you can fly your 51's or FW's or whatever, but I pay to fly plane's and not be limited because a certain plane costs perk points.  Fixing the scoring system might help less points for kills in a better plane for example.  I have plenty of perk points I am just looking out for those that cannot a mass a large amount.  What fun are they having not being able to fly a plane?  Why even introduce it?  

We have players that have thousands of perk points before it was even implemented, and yet newbies get zero to start off with.  I wil give this game one more month or so.  But to be honest a historical arena needs to be added if you want to see diversity in the planeset.  Right now MA is boring, and needs something to spice it up.  I think this game has great potential, but has become stale and stagnet IMO.  Repetition is one thing, but it gets old after awhile.  Feel free to comment, I will answer to those that post in a logical way.

I agree with needing the Historical Arena or it's equivalent.

We probably don't have enough planes yet for an accurate one but it sure would be nice in terms of 'dar limits, no inflight dots, etc.

Keep the sector bars though so that a pilot can find a decent fight in a reasonable ammount of time.

Our squad has participated in a few dueling arena fights without icons...
What a blast!!! you really appreciate the g10's camo during a fight like that.

Wow, Im numb...good point.  What's the use of camo if you got a giant icon telling the world who you are.

Perhaps a full realism room...no icons, no tracers...no chutes? hehe....just thinking out loud (to prove i DO!)

I pick the plane I fly because I want that particular plane at that particular time.

Normally I fly turn and burn aircraft, but my last 2 flights have been in P-47D-25sand the two flights before that were in Fw190D-9s, then back to a Spitfire MkVb, then a P-38L and my first flight this tour was in a Typhoon.

I don't like being forced into the same plane over and over and I don't like only being able to fly Allied or Axis (though I am a bit heavy on the Allied stuff right now).  Those are the reasons that a HA doesn't really interest me.  The special events are enough to satisfy my historical interests.
