Title: Anybody just accumulating points for the fun of it?
Post by: Rondar on July 16, 2007, 02:22:17 PM
What kind of point totals does anybody care to fess up to?  I have over 41,000 points in gv's and over 10,000 points in fighters.  There has got to be a lot of old timers with a zillion points if they fess up.  I just never get anything perked to fly or gv in to spend the perks on.

Jeepers...I been sending HTC $15 @ month for 6 years now and I think I have about 1600 flight, 500 GV and 300 bomber perks.

Guess I'm just about the worst pile-it here :aok

lol, I'm not much better than you max. 250 ish bomber perks, 2000 something fighter perks, and 30 GV perks (went on a huge "I don't give a damn" spending spree", and never bothered to get any back).

I've usually got between 1-2000 of each but I just keep spending them (except bombers... not that i haven't been trying... I've been flying AR234's almost exclusively for 3 camps now and have only lost one to puffy ack).

I had a fair amount of fighter perks until the day I mistakenly selected F4U-4's rather than F4U-1D's.

Several crashes, augers, shoot-downs, bails and ditches later (I'm really not very good), I got a rather unexpected 'you do not have enough perk points' message.

:O

Been recovering ever since.

That's the rumor.  I don't recall ever looking actually :)

I see people asking about how many perks they got for the last flight and to be honest I'm not sure to even look for such info cause I really don't care :)

I wonder if we can get negative points, cause with my flying I'm more likely to accumulate those kind of points.

I don't think I've ever broken 200 points on fighters or bombers ~ and all of those were accumulated entirely from map resets or my sons playing on my name.  My gv points are in a constant rotating door ~ as soon as I build some up, I get into a tiger (which I ditch more often than I'd care to admit).

Usually Im hovering between 1500 and 2000 perks in Fighters & GV. Driving Tempest & Tiger prevents me from getting much higher.
Bomber perks I have about 3500, but I don't fly bombers that much, and for the most part Ki67'S only.

well...there WAS this one guy in EW the other night that (foolishly) attacked my ju88's, and was promptly shot down........as i knew he'd be comming for me again, i took the really long way home to base....i'm bout 12 miles from home with only 6 minutes of fuel, so i'm throttled way back, rpm down, and shallow descent......he spots me, and makes like he's gonna come in on me, so i man the guns. whelp....he made a single HO pass, then followed me at about 5k out. as i set up for landing, he turned into me again....just when i REALLY couldn't man the guns......and on short final, he took one of my drones.........but i wonder how many points he REALLY could've gotten for a single ju88 though....and i'm not sure he made it home as the field ack FUBARED him nicely. i'm not gonna say his name in here, because although i lost a LOT of respect for htis guy, i still kinda like him......never thought he was so desperate for just a few measly points:confused:

Ahhhh the good ol days.  I remember being on the top of the fighter board, top bomber pilot, at some point or another.

But, that was so long ago, bout oh, I dunno, 96, 97 :)

Special Events don't apply to rank, but to each his own, I don't pay much mind to the MA rank now.  

But, that's not a bad thing, mind you, everyone has to start somewhere :)

i generally loose 2-3 262s a tour, so it keeps my perks around 500-800.

Bomber perks dont really have anything to use them on... I do fly the Ar234 but whenever i loose one, 1 bomber sortie gets the perks back generaly

GV perks..... Why use the tiger when all tanks are 1 ping 1 kill anyway?
