I would like to see AH have a day where all perk planes will not cost you anything. Give some of the others a chance to fly them with out worrie of lossing them.
-
In 8 yrs thats one of the better ideas ive ever heard...WTG :aok
-
With perks being so easy, every day is already like this.
Many of us have more than 30,000 perks.

Every day is no perk day for me.
-
Meh
That would be a day were I would not fly. A sky full of even more easy mode planes than usual and 262's all around would be so boring that a cup of coffe in the tower would be the highlight of the day.
-
perk planes are for the girls. how bout we have a day when they perk the spits and LAs? :rofl the ground would be covered in GVs. :aok

That is a fun idea, but really you shouldn't worry about perks. I have flown 3 days with a bran new name already have 550 perks in fighters mode.
If your worried about perks for one, fly a higher eny aircraft. I can understand if you can not build perks flying a n1k or P-51. However take up a P-38 or older spit model and you can generate very good perks easily. General rule of thumb about perk building is watch the perk modifier. For anyone not understanding how to build perks here's how it works ->
Perk modifier you see in the hanger before you take off, if all teams are about even in numbers then the modifier is 1.00 meaning you get 100% your perk value for killing an enemy plane. For an easy example of this if all 3 countries have 50 players, then your going to build perks easily. If your team has 50 players but other 2 countries have 25, most likely the modifier will be 0.50 or lower, generally anything above 0.75 is good for perk farming, anything below like 0.50 then you really are only getting half the perks per each flight due to your country having to many people on, and another country not having enough. I don't waste my time perk farming when the modifier is below 0.75 since you are working harder for half the perks.
Another thing is Eny aircraft- if you fly a Typhoon (10 Eny) and shoot down a spitfire 16 at 5 Eny to calculate the perks your going to get is by
dividing 10 eny by 5 eny times the perk modifier. So with a modifier at 1.00 and you shoot down a spit16 you are getting 2 perks.
10 Eny Divide 5 Eny - modifier at 1.00 = 2 Perks.
I generally fly a Me109g2 at 30 eny, when I am perk building I solely target 5-8 Eny aircraft - thats 30 Eny divide 5 = 6 perks.
get 4 kills thats 24 perks.
-
A day full of temps and 262's eek. A better solution would be a day where every plane below a ENY of 20 is perked. That way folk would learn how easy perk collecting really is. Mind you Uptowns right....the place would be full of Gv's.
-
i dont have a massive cache of perks mainly because when i get to about 800 i fly 262s constantly, often dying because i think "one more pass" even in a damaged plane lol. I dont really treat a 262 as if its gona cost me alot of money if i die in it, mainly because like Adonai says, flying 31eny plane means i can easy get 200+ perks per hour (if i wanted to).
ive always felt the perk thing should be rolling depending on numbers. instead of stopping people flying low ENY planes, make them perkable.
200 perks 262
30 perks temp
-5 no perks p51/la7 etc
-15 no perks dora etc
but if your side has numbers... the p51/la7 start to BE PERK planes.

You would think that this would be a good thing, giving people a chance where they could try out the different aircraft, and do so with some aggression, since they aren't risking anything. A few things to consider though...
1. There are people who worry about losing Mustangs... They aren't going to fly a "free" Tempest any different.
2. Check out the furball lake in the DA. Besides the jets, it's pretty much what you ask. I like going there to try out perk planes like the -4 to see what they can really do when you just "go for it" non-stop. Most people though... For whatever reason... Still fly like it's the MA, but are running, Ho n Go, picking, gangbanging, etc. in Tempests... And it's not much fun.
3. The whole point and fun of perk planes is the advantage they give you over other planes. On a free for all day, that advantage evaporates, and everyone trying out the planes is stuck back at point one: a level playing field.
-
Once a long time ago, the main arena was down (this was before the split). Everyone was diverted to the DA. Almost everyone flew 262's, Me163's, or some other top notch ride. It got old fast.

Thats actually part of the 'problem'.

I like it! It would be hilarious to see the people who fly 50% of their sorties in perk rides have to earn them every tour.
-
Get out of the dweeb rides and fly a 20+ ENY plane. :aok

I'll second that!
-
I think that if we wanted to do this, maybe once every year. That way, we all can mark our calender to be on/off on that date.
-
I'll second that!
I will third it! This idea should be moved to the wishlist.
-
As far as I'm concerned, those of you who have more than 30k perks should not even be bothered if some of the newer guys have a day off of perks.
I gives them a sample of what could be if they become patient and efficient.
I'd say let them have the day off. At the convention there was the RV-8 for a day so no big deal in my book.

I've seen this happen, it sucks. No.

Back in AW on the last Sunday of each campaign, they'd allow the ME262 out for anyone to use. All you had were players flying around in ME262s picking any prop plane that was dumb enough to take off. Made for a very boring Sunday night in AW.
ack-ack

Geez...
Thought for a minute this was something original...like someone asking for a day WITHOUT perks.
Oh well....... :rolleyes:

Hi Jappa.
Hoping to get my poop sorted out soon and get a good broadband connection.

Does not matter to those skilled enough to fly unperked aircraft. :rock
-
Dude, lets do it on Xmas, and at night, enable 163 all arond, now that would be sick
-
a big no on resetting perks every month :D
I prefer Lynx's idea of an Extra perk day. Everything below 20 ENY gets a perk those who decide to carry on flying perked rides and get killed by a non perk guy. The non perk guy gets the cost of the plane he shot down added.
-
A day full of temps and 262's eek.
A long time ago, what you suggested happened. And the sky was full of jets and temps. Was funny for 5 mins then boring.

That wouldn't be very fair to the people that only fly a limited amount of time each tour. I don't really see much of the problem with perk planes other than the fact many whom fly them tend to run away like girls.
-
<<<< doesn't fly perks. Has tons of perk points. Just fly and they accumulate.
