Perk Points usage in the CT

Perks in the CT are a set up tool for the CT staff, one we used to use more often but realy havent made much use of lately.

 Perks in the CT are generaly used to limit plane usage of certain types of aircraft/vehicals to mimic more historical usage levals. Or like they are in the MA to limit plane usage of types that could cause a power imbalance.

 Personaly Perks are a big pain in the pooper, first off we cant modify them ourself's so we nead to get HTC to do this for us, they are busys folks and geting this done in a timly maner can be problimatice for them and us.

 Perks realy dont work to well for limiting certain planes for a number of reasions many stated above.

 Perks are also rarely used in the CT peoioud, the only thing that I have spent them on lately has been the Tiger, and I had so many perks in the vehical catagory this was kinda a joke I had had like 1200 vehical perks thats a lot of 15 point tigers:)

  So in short your not realy losing anything to lose your perks since most all the set up's have no perk rides, and those that do do for a reasion.

Shane, I do.  I fly with friendly icons only and I usually leave after one death (although not always).  I don't mind if you guys have other rules.  I was just stating that I have fun that way.

Perhaps it is the most fair way, but our experience in the Solomons recently showed that it doesn't work.  Remember all those P40s that people were ferrying up to the front?

I managed to spend more time than usual in the CT this weekend (waiting up for prom daughter), and it seemed to me that the perk thing is working out well.  Saw a couple of P38s, wouldn't be able to tell if there were any G10s operating, but mostly people flew D11s, 51Bs, G2s and G6s.  The fights were fun, generally the numbers were even....all was good (except I did see an increased emphasis on bombing things....do you get perks for that?....if so, would explain many things).
