Sling,
You misunderstand him. He's not talking about the side balancing perk price modifier, he's talking about the fact that taking a formation of Ar234s costs three times what it used to to take the Ar234 before formations were introduced.
A) The bombsight was changed from a laser sight to a more realistic and less accurate sight.
B) Bombers were changed to allow formations so that a player could take a useful war load to compensate for the reduced accuracy.
C) The Ar234 now costs three times as much for approximately the same effectiveness it had with the laser sight. Furthermore the Ar234 is VERY likely to shed its drones losing 2/3rds of the perk points the formation cost.
MY suggested solution:
The Ar234 should cost 60 perks regardless of whether or not a formation was taken, and all 60 perks should be returned to the player even if only one Ar234 survives to land.
Alternately you could have a single Ar234 cost 60 perks, and a formation cost 180 perks but have all perks redeemed if even one Ar234 lands.
