i havent read hte boards lately and this might be beating a dead horse, but i have to know. in ah2 will there be perk items? also why should there be perk stuff any how. a friend of mine left the game because of the perked items and the lack of points there in to use them. I know your thinking that he had to be a whimp or what ever, but look at the perk system. you have x points available and an item like the 262 cost xy points. thats all fine and well, if you have more than xy in points and can spare them. but lets say you tank the bird on take off, why should you lose the points??? i think you should only lose points if your shot down by a human operated gun/rocket. also lets say you have a perkie and you have gotten some kills and you tank the landing. ok fine. lose the points you earned in flight, but not the ones you used to use the item in the first place. i think the perk system shouldnt exsist at all. i mean come on people, there are some players who have thousands and thousands of points and dont use them, while others have few to none (like less than 120 for all 3 categories combined) and would love to use a 262 or a tiger but cant. all planes, bombers and gv's should be free for all of us to use. peace out and good hunting.
