Title: how many perk points have you lost in the last year?
Post by: -ammo- on May 17, 2002, 06:59:02 PM: Was just wondering about perk points the other day and wondering how many I have lost. Just the curious side of me:) Did some checking using the AH score page and I realized that in the last year I have lost 2,929 perk points since tour 16, one year ago. I thought it would have been more than that? But oh well:)

:D

It's not big and it's not clever but after drinking rather too much Holsten, I lost about 2000 perks in 1 evening session, mostly 262's. Fun though, what I remember at any rate :rolleyes:

Cheers!

Post by: skernsk on May 17, 2002, 07:39:06 PM: Lots and lots and lots and lots ..............

I always laugh when I go into the hanger after bagging a 200 perk point 262 and see I got a whopping 4 or 5 perkies:)

Post by: Creamo on May 17, 2002, 08:00:50 PM: You can't build much perks with the Dora. It's free so I'm OK with that.

If I go 2-1 in any plane, I'm just whippin ass, and I think I do in the Dora, but it don't build much.

The shocker is bomber perks which I lost in 2 runs.

For some reason, a fully loaded German jet thing with the rocket take-off gets enough speed to get up, and then stalls out.

Ballsy guys that flew it loaded up in reality, I've never got it up unless it was a cliff base, or a flat long run.

Was it so underpowered?

Post by: Kweassa on May 17, 2002, 08:53:28 PM: I lost 320 perk points yesterday...

Upped two Spit14s and a 262 in a furball and lost them all.

Hehehehe, but it was fun though... while it lasted.

My only perk sortie was in an Me 262. I got 5 kills at low alt then a P51 dove on me from 20K. I almost got away but he shot my wings off at 800+ yards.

Post by: SKurj on May 17, 2002, 10:24:39 PM: hmm my guess would be aroun 1500-2000
5-6 262's, 1 234, coupla tempests, 1 sp14 that i can remember.

As for perk sorties... well probably not flown more than a coupla dozen perk sorties in the past year +) well i don't count chog trips...but i may only fly that thing 1x a month.

Post by: Vector on May 18, 2002, 05:56:23 AM: S!
This tour is the very first one for me to fly perk plane. I've lost 4 Tempests (if my memory serves);
Lost 2 in discos (DOH! HTC should compensate that ;) ) and 2 in vertical HO's (DOH DOH!!)
So, I've lost 280 in this tour, can't recall how much with my previous handle...

Btw, IMO Tempest ENY should be increased. Yes it's very capable fighter, but getting 1.21 perks from 5 kill sortie sounds pretty low concidering that "TEMP" icon alerts all "kamikaze-perk-plane-hunters" around.
So with this math, I should kill 289 nme's in order to gain 1 Tempest. :cool:

Post by: MrRiplEy[H] on May 18, 2002, 07:39:06 AM: Last tour I lost about 1000, before that hardly any. I don't like the extra attention perk planes give me when I'm usually already outnumbered 2:1 to begin with :)

I have just topped a little over 200 fighter perk points - most of them gained from being online when Bishops won the war! ROFL! :D

Post by: Kanth on May 18, 2002, 11:49:12 AM: Creamo,

I just fairly recently finally received enough bomber points to get the 234 (jetbomber) and so I choose it and go to take off, let it go ahead and roll to the end of the runway and it absolutely will not lift off. I ended up crashing it..

After mentioning this to my countrymen they suggested I learn in offline mode, so I'm doing that but I've noticed that it's just absolutely overwhelmingly underpowered and even at a large base runway you gotta hold it up for a while before it will stay up under it's own speed and it's stalling all the while.

I'm going to guess that in RL they must have had really really long runways surrounded by plenty of flat field type area in order to get off the ground.

Other than that I don't keep a close tally on perk points or how many I land after a mission. I mostly fly the P47D30 right now because it's the first plane I've chosen to learn..when I am up in a perk plane I'm super careful about getting it home and sometimes that kinda ruins the fun of just rushing in and seeing if I can make it out alive again.

I really wish we had a perk vehicle tho because I have points earned and they just sit there doing nothing for now...I can't even convert them over to bomber or fighter perks so that i can use em.

most of you it seems have lost more points that I have even made yet.

Post by: Booky on May 18, 2002, 12:20:47 PM: In the last year below is what I have lsot for perk rides.

F4U-C 246 (at 8x each this would be 1968)
ME-262 9 (at 200x each this would be 1800)
Temp 4 (at 60x each this would be 240)
TA-152 2 (at 30x each this would be 60)
F4U-4 2 (at 50x each this would be 100)
AR234 1 60

So the total estimated is about -------------------> 4228

I have about 1k Fighter 1.5k Bomber and 2.5k Vehicle on the books right now.

FYI, all these numbers are from the scores page, which is not completely accurate. I know this because I augered in a ME-262 about 2 or 3 weeks ago and neither Tour 27 or Tour 28 show a death in the ME-262.

If we are going to have perks then I may as well use them, but personally if we aren't going to perk everything to some extent, then don't perk anything is my opinion :rolleyes:

Post by: Kanth on May 18, 2002, 04:13:27 PM: I know now Skurj. But at the time I wanted to use it I just didn't know how.

now I can take off without using RATO and save it for other uses =)

Post by: MrLars on May 19, 2002, 04:32:40 AM: I've lost a total of 8 perks, lost a C-Hog once and flew a 262 once. Guess I like killing perk planes more than flying them :cool:
