Noticed recently that I'd lost 70 fighter perkies for no apparant reason.

Suspiciously, exactly 70.

Checking the kill stats confirmed the worst...

I must have selected a Tempest by accident when I meant to take a Typhoon. And never actually realised...<Sigh>

In general though, I'm just too scared to fly them   Besides which, I don't generally feel the need to anyway.

Lost 3 152's 1 from joystick locking up on takeoff, which has been fixed now "Stupid MS product"
Lost 2 Tempests both to buffs at 18K.  
Lost 1 Arado on take off do to Joystick locking up, seemed to happen more frequent on perk's then non perk rides.
IN all I have a total of 7 sorties in them and I think 2 or 3 kills, I fly to cautiously in them and started to collect the perk points, saving for a 162

I'm not wasting any of my perkies on those silly Loosewaffle planes.  

Tempest is... well just uncool.

Bring on the P-47M and P-47N, then I'll spend 'em with wild abandon. (If they are perked.) <G>

I posted before that I would not be likely to use perks points. I don't care for the system and have no desire to fly the wonder rides. I haven't used any perk points nor do I expect to at this time. I would much prefer my $30.00 gave me access to all the planes in the game to be flown when ever I wished.

Squandered three or four tempests.. lovely airplane; a joy to T&B with. Died every time.  

Tried a several Arado's.. blew myself to tiny pieces toggling the ords when I thought I was lightin the JATO pods. (twice) Finally got one up and died after goin down down DOWN (WHOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHH) fast and low doin hanger passes thru acks while draggin half the rook AF. (bein a cuddlinghunk)

I think thats when somebody remarked you could check fly it off line or in the training arena.. Oh well. I never confessed to bein smart, yah know; so I told 'em since the puny eggs didn't knock the fediddlein hangers down, mebbe the damn fans would blow 'em down...

Did have one good ride. After what seemed like an eternity I got to 10k on a grab out and got pounced on by a pony. I put the nose down and toggled what I tought wuz the ords (again) and surprise, surpise... I found out why that climb rate sucked.   That poor pony pilot musta popped raisins out his brown eye when I roared off like Duck Dodgers in the 21'st Century....

None.......found out what the ta-152 could do below 25K while fighting it in dora, tempest, should just be faster version of the tiffie, thinner wing.  And the arado carries a small payload, I have more fun flying the JU-88.  so saving perk points for whatever may come in the future.

Lessee: two Ta-152 sorties against bombers. Two one ping radiator hits.
One arado lost due to the "Spawn off runway" bug.  Spawned, saw mountain ahead of me, exited "You have ditched".
One arado lost due to disco.

The Arado is fun, I guess; especially when you just want to taunt people.  I had one sortie where as I was bombing, a typhoon started chasing me, dragged him around, turning just enough to keep him close.
Then I popped a 180, and watched him drool as he closed in
900
800
700
Wooosshhh! I hit the RATO bottles (dweebery, I know), and explode into space.
He got so pissed off, he chased me for 100 miles.  He was last seen with a sputtering motor somewhere by the giant squid.
Landed that one.

Also spent zero.  Took the 152 up two or three times this tour primarily to intercept HQ raids. Got an assist but the buffs were mostly dead by the time I got there  . Finally got enough bomber perks to "waste" 2 Arados.. how did I get those points? By being in 2 resets this tour.
