Title: lancs.- perks
Post by: braedanc on September 14, 2006, 07:45:54 PM

Guys, have you noticed that it is 58 perks I think it is to fly lancs to bomb some place??? This is outrageous. Then noone will wanna bomb anymore because you dont get many points in the first place.

its something worthwhile to spend bomber perks on. They will be used. If this was implemented from the start it would be the same as it will be now.

Lancs only cost that much in Early War Arena, because they were introduced late in this era and are actually very powerful in that new environment. You can build up perks by bombing in Ju88 or BostonIII, which are not that much dead meat as in "old" MA. Andyou can also farm your bomber perks in other arenas using the whole range of bombers.

Firstly perk cost is down to player numbers.  If your side has less players the Lancs cost less & more if you have lotsa players.  

Secondly it stops all the LAZY, none skilled, none calibrated, dive bombing, suicider, 500ft ers.  

Just get some alt...... 18k should be fine :rofl

Good.  Makes you think twice about the BS dive-bombing, suiciding watermelon don't it?  

Personally, 100 is better.
