Title: Unperk Please
Post by: doobs on August 07, 2004, 08:52:08 AM
Now with the soon to be addition of the Ki-84.  
A plane I hate worse than the Niki I might add.
Can we Please Please Please UNPERK the F4u-1c
I know it is the best looking plane on the block,
but does the F4 need to be penalized just cause
of its good looks.
And I feel so rude when I approach a field
and I'm wearing 50 cal's when all of the welcoming
party are wearing cannon.  I also feel the same when the welcoming party decides to drop by our place.

Just looking for a single Engine American ride that has cannon
that either dont have to pay for or just not as much.

And I'd settle for any cannon, even take napolean's carrying only 2 rounds(picture that)

its like 10 perks???  stop making out you would have to take out a loan to afford one.

It could be worse, you could be british and have NO late war planes that are unperked.

hehe..... the most i've ever seen the f4u-1c is about 13 or 14 perks and thats when 1 country has the #'s , so if you want cheap perk rides, become a knight if your not already ,knights always have cheap perk rides, usually 4 to 10 perks   like Furball says.  Let me say this, its obvious when some people get a few perks in there pocket , it burns that hole,  next thing you know there back asking for more perks , dang kids!  lmao!!!  just kidding!!!!!  Stop spending those perks in one place.  lol!!!  ahem....

Unperk the TA-152, but NOT the C-hawg.

Sorry but I remember what the arena was like when littorally every other plane you saw was a hawg. And they all had 4x20mm, and they all HO'ed like bastiges.

Nothings changed Ghosth , just  their choice of  plane   (LA7 190D9 , 109 G10 etc etc)

perks are for numbers of aircraft actually flown in RL right? how many f4u-c's were actually made? blame the U.S. for choosing the reliable 50 cal over the jamming cannons.

and what's wrong with the 38? that 20 can do some damage.

P-38 has cannon and is unperked.

And no, the perks are not for any historical reason, but because the perk rides would unbalance the gameplay.

So, with an ENY rating of 5 (same as the 262) how many La7s do you have to kill with the Chog to break even for every one you lose?

I'll bet that if you take the F4U-1 up and land one La7 pelt you've more than paid for your Chog ride.

As one who remembers well when about 66% of the planes in the MA were Chogs I'm glad it has the small perk cost that it has. I think the 152/spit14/temp need to either be reduced or have their icons changed.

It'd arbitrarily cause a massive upward shift in the K/D ratio of the arena were it allowed to fly around unperked.

It don't, and shouldn't be perked. It should trade places with the La-7.

the Dora already does this infact the TA152 may not even do as well as the 190d-9 in most hands


this plane is only uber above 30k and last time i looked the Main fights are 15k and lower most of the time

fights were this plane does its best are Very rare

so your saying this TA152 is going to cause more havoc in the MAIN then the LA7
