c'mon, where is the excitement of flying zeroes, hurricanes, P-40B/Es, and C.202s in main arena? these non perked planes were overshadowed by spit 9s p-51s la-7s, F4U-1 1/Ds to name the few and zero(a6m2) fun in MA was all lost
 

Ike, I for one have been flying the c205 very frequently -- its a riot to fly. Heck, landing 40 perkies for one flight with that thing is not that hard. Perking planes away from everyone in order to get less capable planes in the air more frequently is not right.

Hakuna Matata, let it go. Fly what you want, let everyone else fly what they want also. If you want people to fly old planes, pay for their subscription with the caveat that they fly your plane choice. Then you can have all the fun you want!

This is quite possibly the worst perk idea I've ever seen... and there've been some pretty bad ideas around here.

Oh, and by the way... the 262 by default (with a 1.00 perk bonus) is 200 perks, not 250something as you said.

Docc ...

Don't know how long you have been around, but it doesn't sound like it's been very long ...

How many times have you run into Leviathan in his MONSTER Spit V ... or Drex in his uber A20 or KILLER F6F ... or Mathman in his DOMINATING F6F ... the list goes on.

Your statement that the best pilots fly the monster planes is an assumption on your part at the very least. These guys can kick your bellybutton 10 out of 10 in a bi-plane so don't credit their accomplishments on the plane they fly ... its an insult.

This is not the first "I know the ultimate perk system" and it won't be the last, but I can surely bet the ranch on the fact that it will never be implemented.

Bottom line ... IT SUCKS !!!

Instead of limiting what others fly to make up for your lack of ability, why don't you go to the Training Arena instead and learn some BFM/ACM?
