just today i lost all of my perks cause of somethin stupid i did in a 262, was wondering if any of you uber sticks could give meh some tips for perk farming...gonna take for ever for me to get them back...
-
It's times like this one needs to realize, "How you treat others." and how it's reciprocated.

what do ya mean?

Why not ask the LW dink who came to one of the other arenas (I won't say which, because I don't want to see you there either) to farm perkies with his squaddie because he lost a formation of AR234's.
If I see someone doing this, I will do everything I can to disrupt them. Be a man and build your perkies honestly like the majority of us do. Don't come to a different arena to "recover" lost perkies.
Perhaps HTC could update the whole perk system, so perks gained in one arena are only good in that arena.

agreed on that bold typing, thoiught it was once like that before they did the arena split, i would have to search it, but itd be cool. anyway, i dont go to MW or EW to farm perks. im a diehard LW fan, couldnt stand the small plane choice of MW or EW.

Well then, :salute for that.
Maybe you could find someone from EW or MW that don't care about score in LW and convince them to be your private target drone in an uber-ride so you can kill them in a crappy ride.

personally, i frown down from that. im an honest player, you just needs some tips here and there as i slowly progress.

Just bomb strats with a 110C. It hurts no-one, and you can only really gain from it.
-
Bombing strats would give perks for bombers, but since we're talking about a lost 262, I'm guessing we need to find an honest (again, WTG uberslet) way to get max fighter perks per sortie.
Sorry I'm no help here, since I'm mediocre at best and don't even pay attention to perks since I rarely use perk rides.
-

A couple ideas:
Take a 109F into a CV fight.
Take a 38J into a furball
I don't perk farm to do it, nor do I fly the 109F to do it, but it's done well for me while not trying to.
-
Hmmm, didn't know you get fighter perks for bombing stuff with fighter/attack planes. I thought you only get fighter perks for downing planes; maybe I'm thinking of kills-towards-rank. Anyway, I guess I learned my one new thing for the day. :D

I'D actually consider giving mine away, as i never use em. i fly turnfighters, and they never cost anything in mw.......

unless of course that that ew or mw person can outfly the lw ride in his crappy ride

bomber hunting, and furballs. furballs are a bit easier i think, as i usually have bad luck with buffs.

owned a nikki today in my p40E....was smashu

that's what i mean....i used to see an old raving heap-o-chit plane, with me in something like a spixteen, or a hellkitty, go haulin bellybutton intot he fight thinking easy kill. and i was right. it WAS an easy kill. for the OTHER guy. :O :rofl
i never assume anything now. if it has wings, it's a threat....even if it's on fire, aor out of gas, it is a threat.
-
no :cry
dam.....like i said, i'd give ya some of mine, even though i don't have many.....i just never fly anyting that costs perks.

If your cv is capping a base the uppers that will up will probably up with spixteens or some other dweeb plane. Bring the first zero (eny of 40) and vulch one of them. When you land you will probably get like 15 perks (depending on perk point bonus of course). Or bring a 190a8 into a cv furball and kill some pts or planes. :aok
-
i used to fly the 190a8 a lot, but then got sick of dieing cuz of my stupidity of comin in at 10K and havin spixteens up at 15K :cry
-
I forgot about the A6M2. Landed 7 kills in it and got 50 some odd perks.
-
damn, ill haqve to try her some time :O
-
fly an A-20 or boston...bout the best perk farmers in the game...cept the perkies are worthless.
Actually going spit hunting in a 109F is about the best perk farming I know of...most spit drivers are average and a 109F will put a spanking on most of them if well flown.
-

I LIKE THE ZEKES.
i do pretty well with them in furballs. the key is not to allow a shot on ya though, as if the enemy even so much as spits on ya, your fuel tanks ignite.
coolest thing is that i have a habit of taking light fuel load internally, and carrying a drop tank. i can turn against most enemies with the tank still slung. if i get a good corsair pilot, or another zeke, then i dump it. otherwise, i keep it.
-
109G2, 109G6, P38G, Zeros, F4Fs all middle of the road planes. lots of fun to fly, and all earn perks pretty quick. I have almost 5k I'm not using, plan on selling mine on Ebay :devil
-
A6M2 in a furball, big time perkies
-

maybe that's why i suck worse than normal? :rofl

dam!! i only have about 2k.......but then whereas you probably use em, then have to regain them, i never fly perk rides........ :D

One time I got 36.85 perks for shooting down 3 planes in an A6M2. If you can pull it off and find fights that suit it, the A6M2 is a good perk farmer. Other times you fly around chasing the fight all day, but never actually get to shoot anything.
Failing that I'd try one of the P38s.
-
If you ever need bomber perks, fly the B-25H and hit fields or strats. If you stay around on a strat and use up all of your ords you can quite easily land 20 perks (with a perk point bonus of 2 or so I think). Staying around on a field will give you even more perkies.

You mean porking an airfield?
-
I scored 28 perks one day killing 2 Spits with a Hurri I and then dying. Fly any high ENY plane and kill something in it if you want quick perks.
-
fly a spit9 into every furball you can find. I gained about 700 perks in a week doing that.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the 190A-8. Most competitive perk farmer out there.

I was going to say it in my first post, but basically the only thing you can truly do is cherrypick...well all I can do anyway.

Perk farming you say? Well now, the FM-2 is just about the sweetest little ride to do that in.

Could BnZ/E fight so some degree, do some overshoot fighting against your average Pony.
Most kills in large fights are some variant of the pick anyway.
-
The Art of Perk Farming:
Take any 20+ eny plane,fly on a side with least players,shoot down uber planes!!!
Seriously,just fly some high eny planes for a tour the perks will build.I usually fly 20 or above eny planes and have been able to build up my perks even though I rarely fly in the mains.
-

I suppose, from what I've seen it can't, but I don't fly it that much so.

Well honestly, for 25 ENY instead of 35 ENY, you can get yourself a FW-190 A-5 and probably be happier with it.
And a P-40E can in many respects do more than either.
But liking what you are flying is equally as important as performance sometimes.

i used to be a 190a8 dweeb....got tired of those 15k spit16's pickin me...
-
Fly Yaks, I never spend em but rack up on average around 700 perks a tour, more now with just flying the Yak T. Been back for 10 tours and have just under 8,000 unused perks. :devil

i made about 40 in one sortie one night i had ten kills in a p40e er the one with six 50/s
i killed 2 sets of bombers in the first run/ a spit16 a huri 2 a typhoon and a p51 b on the second run.
was pretty fun too lol the guys in the bombers had no clue about gunnery i guess cause i ddint even get scratched, but also i think this was in mid war and i was like one of 2 rooks against several knits/bish
so the modifyer was high.
i also heard someone say that if they had a big sortie in a plane like that they would find a far away base to land at and wait for most all their contrymen to leave so they can ge a high modifyer, not to give anyone any ideas as thats kind of lame.
-
P40. It's a hoot to fly and you learn a lot about energy conservation and flap usage. A monsterous perk farmer. Just start with some alt. If you're not into score whoring, you'll be fine.
-
my p40 gets in a 2-1, im doin fine, then some dweeb picks me. i love the p40, love its flaps, its roll, its gun, most everything about it, but the gangtards who gang you just for an easy kill
-
Well then, :salute for that.
Maybe you could find someone from EW or MW that don't care about score in LW and convince them to be your private target drone in an uber-ride so you can kill them in a crappy ride.
Your kidding, I hope.
-
what? sheesh my acct is less than 2 months old, yet i have almost 900 ftr perkies, even after using/losing a temp foolishly several times in an effort to burn them off.
ftr perkies aren't hard to obtain if you have a modicum of talent or skill... even easier if you stoop to questionable behavior.
-
im a diehard LW fan, couldnt stand the small plane choice of MW or EW.
:rolleyes: ... yeah ... the MW doesn't have the La-7/Spit XVI/N1K2/P-51D/190-D ... you know ... the hot rod runner rides ... so it's either you can't survive without using one of those rides ... or you flat out don't know what you are talking about.
It doesn't take an Einstein to figure out how to rack up fighter perks ...
You fly HIGH eny planes ... and shoot down LOW eny planes = many perks.
The reason why you don't have a lot of perks is probably due to what you fly and the equation is reversed ...
You fly LOW eny planes ... and shoot down HIGH eny plane = minimal perks.
-
My suggestions for perk-farming:
Fighters:
109G-2
109F-4
190A-8
190A-5
P-38G
A6M2
Yak-9T
Ki-61
Attackers/Bombers:
B-25C (Good for GV killing and porking)
Boston III
Il-2
Ju-88
Ki-67
-

Yeah, kidding in actually suggesting to use that strategy. BUT, not kidding in the fact that some LW dink came to EW with his squaddie to do exactly that to regain lost perks because "I got discoed and lost a formation of AR234's and don't think that's fair".
-
Wow i used to never use my perks. I have over 4000 and just started using them lately. It would be nice if you could sell them :D

most of that is true, but i'd qualify it by saying speed is always relative, so you do still have hot rod runner rides in MW.

P47D-11
25 eny
8 .50 cals
what else do you need?

I think it's a case of both.

Yep, have close to 100k perks just waisting space. I could make a lot of money selling 1k blocks of perks for $100.

As does the EW ... but there is a better balance ... the MW hot rods don't really have an overwhelming advantage over the middle tiered planes.
-
Click the ENY label in the hangar. Look at the planes around 25. Fly the one you like best. Or if 25 is too high for you, lower it a bit.

i only fly like nikkis, spit 16's and la7's if a base is capped and its pissin me off, or if someone else is pissin me off and i just want sweet revenge :devil. otherwise i stick to my hog for the most part, other night i was flying the a6m2 though.

i was actually beating people 3-1 in it :lol kinda sad i need a zeke to beat 3 people.... wonder why i cant do it in a spixteen.....not that i would perk farm in a spixteen anyway :D
-
G2 in my opinion is the best perk farmer. In fact, I think it is in the top three non-perked fighters for dogfight, but then again I'm somewhat new, so this is just MHO.

I've always wondered why folks have such disdain for the A6M... It really is a fantastic aircraft, especially in a furball. I'll take a zeke over a Spit in a furball, anyday.

THAT'S MY FAVORITE PLANE for furballing.
there's nothing really, that can or will outturn it in verticle, or horizontal, at the low speeds that furballs happen at. even at moderate speeds, i was able to stay with firedrgn the other night as he tried to pick me in his f4u....i even put a few rounds in him before i had to pitch the nose down.
like i mentioned before, acceleration is much more important in these types of fights than top speed......and the zeke accelerates very very nicely, back up to a good fighting speed. i like the 5b, because it's much faster than the 2. the 2 however, seems to handle much better in low speed fights than the 5b.
unfortunatly, if someone gets a round anywhere near my zeke, it catches fire. funny thing about that, is that when it's me on fire, i try to rtb, just to rob the shooter of his kill :devil. i'm only 2 miles from the base in the furball, and never make it. the wing usually fails before i get there.
yet, when i ignite another zeke, they seem to fly forever....... :noid

well, like i said.....ya jast have to be careful to keep checking our six.
although i've been converted to roman candle status more times thani like to admit, my overall success with the zeke in those madhouses we call furballs(friggin LOVE em!) has been great.
i do ok in em in any of the spits except the 16, and i do ok in a hurri(and no i don't ho....usually). i thought i was getting better in the hellcat furballin, but have been having a run of bad luck in that one, so i tend to use that for more of an energy type fight right now, or killing buffs.
-
Zekes, c205s, and Ki-61s are get planes for generating alot of points very quickly.

i would just attack strats with a 110

yes it does. Any plane that can be flown in fighter mode has the perks going to fighter perks. If that was true all your perks under attack would go no where as we don't have an attack perk section.
-

that wouldn't give him fighter perks

what can be fun to do is go strat banging in a p38 on the way to the furball then get kills on top of the perks for ground bashing,

yes is does

UberSlet is a pretty nice guy Karaya, I've never had any problems with him ever.
Uberslet, just cherry pick in a 190A8 and ignore whoever whines. Just remember, you're alive, they're dead, and you're 5-20 perks richer :D
-
F4U-1 is my favorite to recoup from my 262 collisions. :D I don't really need to but when i get to 5k perks i freak out.
-

When I get to 1K I stop flying perkies for about a couple days, get to 3K and then fly perkies, rinse and repeat.
