Some of us (me included) are horrid fighter pilots that the possibility of flying the 262 more than once every month or two is not high due to the extremely high cost. I pay to play and fly what I want. I understand why the 262 is perked because it is a jet. That does not change the fact that I'd like fly one more often the once every month or two. They die so easily too that they really arent worth their current cost, unless switching sides to the country with the lowest number of people.
Please look into lowering the cost of the 262.

So why would you want to fly it more?

A much-welcomed side effect of the ENY & Perk multiplier system.

Your problem with the 262 is that you have no idea how to use it, why should they lower it just because you die every time you fly it?
Maybe rather than ask for it to be reduced you should be asking "How do you fly the 262"? I, and i am sure many other people, would gladly send you some films of how to use it.
I say keep the perk cost or even raise it.

Now who would do a thing like that.

Ever think of asking "Hey Karaya, you mind going to the DA or TA with me, and help me become a better stick?"
Wait, "I suck" to most in the game so I MAY not be good. You know the drill "my rank is too high, so I obviously suck, my Hit % is almost 20% in a fighter. I'm all mouth and have no skill, although, I've shot down the best the game has to offer." Scratch that, I'm not who you need to talk to.

The 262 is not meant to be an easy ride. Lowering the cost is just an easy way out. Every one else who flys it has had to pay the price to learn. The TA is a good place to start. Once your more addept you will make less mistakes and the price wont be so much of a factor. Still, every time I lose one it really makes me angry. Especially when its because of a mistake tha could have been avoided. Try saving up enough perks so you can take another one up if you lose the first one.

Ball is right.
The 262 is a devastating WMD in the right hands. My last run in it I crashed it like a champ (250 perks). Some tasty low bombers who smartly dove from about 3k to deck as I was lining up my dive. I should have aborted but I wanted my 10th kill and rtb.
Olds if you work hard in high eny planes you could easily farm 1000's of perks.
-
i dunno... against bombers above 25k it isnt worth 20 perks... much less 200. I dont believe it is worth 200 perks but certainly 100+ (I wouldnt want the arena saturated with them)
-
some guy named Rouen in game told me the ammo is horrid on the 262, so im all for lowering the perk cost on it.
:noid
-
The Ammo is incredible in the 262. Problem is the ballistics just suck.
Anyways, your not going to see the cost dropped. The reason you are only able to accumulate about 200 perks a month is because you are flying LA's, Spits and Ponys. Switch it up. Instead of the lower ENY above mentioned airplanes, fly their high eny counter parts (LA5, Spit V & 51-B). Airplanes are more than capable, and you will notice a significant increase in perkies
-
I dont know...he was pretty positive that the ammo sux. :) I am failing to find faults with it so far...only plane ive flown in fighter mode this tour so far is a 262 and i seem to be doing ok. He swore it was the ammo tho...:noid
-
The less we see of this damned plane in the areanas - the better. Save it for the DA and special events.
I also hope HTC would model flame-outs and engines bursting into flames for this plane.
btw, did I mention I don't like it?
-
No, no, and no.
You want to fly jets, fly good perk earner aircraft. Get out of that Nik or other late war monster. EARN those perks the hard way, killing stuff in a plane thats harder to kill with!
Wouldn't bother me if 262 prices actually went UP to 500.

Want to fly 262 follow the steps recommended above:
Fly in lower population Country to get better perk bonus.
Fly high ENY planes to increase perk points earned.
Points earned are Your ENY plane / Their ENY plane = points earned which is then modified by things such as you actually landing the kill.
If you in a 5 ENY plane (Niki, La7, Spit16) and kill an ENY 5 plane. 1 point. If you kill an ENY 15 plane, then .3 point. If you in ENY 15 plane and kill ENY 5 plane = 3 points. There are ENY planes up to 30 or so that still can fight well, you do the math.
Fly 262's in low population countries for cheaper perk price.
OR, fly offline or in the TA, or the DA against others (they cost anything there? I forget).
Or "as you were, carry on" and

If they cheapen the 262 to were every horrid pilot who pays his $15 a month can fly them when they wanted to, this would look more like Mig Alley than WWII.

It is highly priced without doubt. Heck, I got upset with myself for losing a Tempest last week at fraction of the cost even though I could afford a dozen or two of them.
Before I ever flew a 262 I saved my perks until I could afford to lose 2 or 3 of them so I'd have a chance to learn something about it. Unfortunatly, my first lesson was in compression on my first run :)
Back then I always flew Spit XVI's and if I could land 2 kills I'd get about 2 perks. It took a lot of flying that Spit to earn enough to try a 262.
Now I fly more challenging planes. As an example a couple of weeks ago I was flying a Hurri MkI in the LWA's. I killed a Spit XVI, died shortly after and scored 15 perks. I died with 1 kill and got 15 perks!
Keep the price where it is. There's almost too many of them buzzing around already. We don't need to see more of them.

no joke, i've been seeing quit a few lately. not just one at a time but in packs of 2 or 3.
and i've been trying to get a from the spit16 also, i'd do alright if my gunnery hadn't gone to complete suck.
-
If it annoys you that much i will let you in on a little secret... the best way to kill 262's...
It is called a Ki-67 formation. (no joke). The top 20mm gun makes mincemeat out of jet planes.
-
I upped a 262 with a squaddie last week. FYI that may be why you seem them in pairs/packs: squadies winging together. Well my wingman died early but I landed 7 kills after losing oil. Immediately reupped with a different wingman, he died somehow as well, and I landed another 6 kills (gas dry eng out while being vulched by a 109, I had some cover so I made it down safely). First sortie all bombers. Second sortie mostly fighters. Had craploads of ammo left both times I landed.
Oh, P.S. got the entire back-to-back sortie on film! That was kinda cool. I hope to turn it into a movie someday.
-
i have no problem with people using them, i just have noticed quite a few in the last month. I've only been playing 5 months so that not a lot to go by.
i'll try the 61 one again, i used it my 1st month liked it then started trying everything else out and forgot about it.

Become a better pilot. Dont fly lgay7s, dweebfire 16s, or niks which get you little perks. Actually fly a challenging plane that requires some skill. You get more perks for that. Its not hard to get the number of perks either. Get at least 6 kills or more you can get it in two days the most depends how much you fly.
-
ya lower the cost and give us the F-86 to combat all the guys who will fill the sky with them.
easyest way to get perks is to fly early aircraft with a high ENY value like the 109F or seafire a zero heck anything 20 or higher will get you enough perks for a 262 in a few days.
1st you need to be a good stick and learn its better to land an aircraft on your runway than auger it into the enimys,
and the perks will follow. build up enough perks for a few 262's then try flying one (if you die saddile that puppy back up and try again.
