Limiting the perk modifier?

[rabbidrabbit]

No doubt giving extra perks for flying on a side that is down on numbers has helped even out the teams on average but what folks complain about the most is getting nearly nothing if your team has greater numbers.  This is not directly linked to winning or losing just numbers.  Many times I have been with a .7 modifier and our side was getting creamed due to the old fashion gang up.  

My proposal is to limit the downside to an even 1.0 so folks can be encouraged to fly the early war birds whenever they want instead of when the modifier is favorable.

Thoughts?

hi rabbidrabbit

i agree 100 %

i allso agree that the sides with less players shoud have cheaper planes , what i dont understand tho is that if you are on the side with most players you dont get any at all .

I play at bishops side and we usaly have a 0.8 to 0.7 modifyer . so if i in my plane ( a yak fighter ) shoot down 4 planes and make a landing i get 1.37 perks or something like that , if i where a rook or nit il get 8,9 or more perks .

Its not 9 times harder to be a Nit , i have been one myself , so the modifyer calculations shoud be redone in my opinion .

I woud allso recommend a max perk point cost of each plane , becouse its frustrating when we (bish) sometimes attack a base and there is 3 or more 262s high up there making many kills when we cant realy afford to try and up one ( 262 usaly around 300 to 400 perk points for bish ) .

here is some i max prices i woud like to see :

Spit14 from 50 to 100 perks
262 from 120-250 perks
163 from 75-150 perks
TA-152 from 5 to 25 perks
La7 1-to 5 perks


I woud allso like that we had 1 perk pool to take out , not a GV/plane and bomber pool but 1 . if you aint a gv fan but you woud like to up a tiger you coud if we had 1 perk pool. And bomber perks are Unusefull atm , who realy want to up that jet anyway ? it carrys 3x500 lbs bombs who cant even get a damn VH down !!!!!!! maybee that bomber fan woud like to up a 262 allso sometimes . a bishop may make 1 - 3 perks a landing even with many kills ( got 3.65 perks for 18 panzer kills yesterday ) , that woud then take the poor guy 100 sorties to up a 262 .

lol.... you want cheese with that? 300-400 perkies implies a massive amount of bish on compared to knits and rooks.

shhhhhhh dad, now bishops are outnumbered country, so let it stay as it is

Landing 40 perks for a 5 min. vulch session in la5 is nice

I agree with Jannerik. Put all the perk points in 1 basket so we can use them however we want. I have thousands of useless bomber perk points.

Aww JANN ... my heart bleeds for the bish ... NOT ... you have plenty of pilots that have more then enuff perk points to up 262s all day long.

Remember, 262s don't cost anything if you bring them back in one piece.

It's not about whine about bish/ bash bish because I'm not a bish baby fest.  What I'm saying is folks should not be penalized for something that is beyond their control.

what exactly is beyond one's control?  the ability to switch countries to a) get cheaper perk rides and b) create a closer balance between #'s, resulting in closer to 1:1:1 perk factors?

hmmmmmm....

This may come as a shock to you Shane but some of us stick with a squad and don't perk potato back and forth.  Not that there is anything wrong with not being part of a group but this undermines the point of having squads in the first place.

so get the squad to switch. "loyalty" to a chess piece in a game is silly.

[rabbidrabbit]

Think about all the considerations.  What you are saying is our entire squad should switch back and forth hour by hour to balance out the teams.  This is at best unreasonable for many reasons.  I don't mind people like you bouncing back in forth for perks if you want since it helps to balance out the numbers but to expect our entire squad to do so just be cause you do is irrational.  I don't call for you to be punished for playing the game one way even though it's impractical for me since I'm part of a team so I would hope you can respect that I don't want to be punished for something that is beyond my control.  Rewarding folks for operating in more difficult situations is fair.  Punishing them for playing by the rules and using teamwork is not.

you're limited to changing once per 12 hrs. i don't bounce for perks, when i do bounce it's to join the low #'s side. i don't even care for the perk rides .

taking jannik's 300-400 perk cost as an example, isn't flying for the outnumbered side, in a sense, "punishment" ? i mean do you think it's a whole lof of fun to get gangbanged almost every flight? ohhhh, you say that's my choice? i could fly where there's less local superiority by the other side? i could even join the side with #'s, right? ahhh i see... think about that for a minute. what exactly here is beyond anyone's control?  nothing.

and as someone said, you only lose perks if you fail to rtb; isn't it much easier to do so when your side has a nice comfy margin? as a bish, how many perk points have you received, as long as you've been bish, for winning resets?  how are resets won, and by whom under what usual circumstances?

things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.

RR .. do you guys have squad night ? If so, then next squad night why don't you guys see who has the lowest numbers and all move to that country for THE NIGHT. That way you too can partake in the perk wealth as you get gangbanged by your buddies that you just left. Let me just say, that I wouldn't bet the ranch on you guys switchin at all.

Both you a JANN are looking at this in the light of "punishment" ... look at it like this ... you are not getting rewarded "as much" ... you know ... the glass half-full / half-empty concept. Maybe that will relieve your pain.
