Author Topic: Another idea to pass time before AH2..... (Read 930 times)

hazed- · « **on:** June 05, 2003, 03:43:50 PM »

As lately it seems the MA has been full of the same sort of aircraft be they Spits,N1K's,La7s in furballs or P51D,190d9s,109g10's etc in BNZ could I PLEASE request:

Unperking the TEMPEST,F4U-4,TA152 and SPITFIREXIV for JUST ONE tour?

Sure the arena will fill full of people trying them out over and over for a month but this is precicely what im craving!!

An MA with a completely different mix of aircraft just to tide me over until AH2 arrives.

Everyone out there: if HTC agrees would you say YES or NO to the idea?

If the tour after that (and just that one tour) the spit9, la7, g10, D9, PonyD (list might not be complete) are perked, I agree

last time I flew the 152 I got killed in a few minutes, same when flying Spit XIV. IMO the best perked prop fighter is the Tempest.

i'd agree and i wouldnt mind seeing more of them to fight.If we did unperk all the prop planes for a tour at the very least we would have some unusual tempest vs tempest or F4U4 vs Spit14s fights.
It would only be for a tour so its hardly time for it to get to the annoying stage.
Im still all for acheiving a similar result by perking the la7s's and p51d's and 190d9's for one tour to change the sort of engagements we are likely to have in MA but a lot of people dont want their LA7 to cost any price

It would mean aircraft like the 205's or la5s would be seen more which can only be a good thing i think.
Still if this isnt going to happen then why not make the prop perk planes free and see if they are overused after all?.I suspect it(the MA) will be full of them for a while but eventually people would realise only the tempest, perhaps the F4u-4 too, are good enough to use in a similar manner to the La7s and spit9's.Even the Spit14's cant be used like the spit9 really.Besides its just for a TOUR

Why would you want to perk these airplanes? It's not like they're uber or anything special.

So you want to pay $15 for a big h2h server?

Just a thought maybe not a good one......

but what about if you unperk planes for planed missions

Like if John Doe who has 300 perk points decides to plan a mission he can make a mission with 10 F4U4s and people without enough perk points can still join and fly?

Hey, y'know what? That's an excellent idea! It also provides a use for perk points that I'd actually consider.

Like the orginal ME-262 free day. The majority of us would log in an hour from shear boredom.

For every sim-freak,there is only one solution to pass time till AH2 release.
Buy Il2-FB and get familiar with it.Its seems to be much closer to reality than AH.
Its hard to handle ...and so beautiful graphics!
When i get bored flying in the furballislandmap with its anttrails, i switch to ubi.com and fly Il2-FB.
So i get the training which that sim needs.
And if AH2 doesnt fullfill my expectations, i will be well prepared to switch to Il2-FB-DID.

If it have not been changed lately, you can make a 262 mission, and people can join even if they have no perks. So, first it shall be fixed.

Not enough late war planes in the game for you? A late war "missun" in the MA.... No thanks

I think it'd be a hoot to go to the side with the costliest perked planes, have everyone in the squad up in 262s at my perk point expense, and then have them fly straight into a mountain.

Saves me the trouble of having to do it myself a bunch of times.

The last time I flew a perked plane I lost my UDP (looked everywhere for it, but it wasn't to be found). I don't fly perked planes anymore, though lately I've been jonesing for some jet combat so maybe I'll take a 262 or something up one night.

There are times when I actually miss Air Warrior's Korean War arena.
