Hello everyone ,
I have had this thought in the back of my head for some time and wish to share it with you. As we all know, when we see a 262 in our propeller planes, we will do absolutely anything to kill him. Ram, collide, ho, you name it. And usually, we have no success due to the incredible amount of speed of the aircraft. That being said, I shot a 262 down a few days ago and was so excited. I finally got one with a prop plane. It'd been months since my last take down. Unfortunately, I went back to the hangar and barely got 3 points for my kill. To finally kill such a plane with such Superior capabilities, and only receive a lousy 3 points, is wrong. I am proposing an idea of when one shoots a perk plane down, he, or she :D, receives the price of the perk plane the one you shot down spent on the plane. 262s then would suddenly become a really nice treat to shoot down along with the other perk planes / vehicles. To finally shoot one of those suckers that pick you constantly and bug out at 550mph is not easy one bit and should be rewarded with the perks he spent on it. What do you think? All comments will be appreciated. I pray that this will happened.

If I shoot a 262 down in a D3A, can I get the B-29?

It's not so much how many perks you get it's how many perks they lose! :aok
I knew a guy that shot down a 262 in a zero. I think he only got about 5 perkies.
-
fully agree, its a shame that you dont get more than what it gives you, :aok

Bingo!

The pilot of the 262 was probably on the low numbers side, therefore, the 262 was very inexpensive.
You were probably on the high numbers side, therefore, low perk multiplier. Not to mention, you where probably in a fast, low eny plane.
Low eny plane (about eny 10 or so) times the low perk multiplier (<.5) = low perks.
-
I don't think you should get the entire price of the 262 in perks, but I do think you should get a fair percentage of the perks, perhaps 1/4 of the perks that were spent. So if the me262 cost the pilot 200 and you shoot it down, you get 50 perks. I think that would be fair and very incentive based.

Were you flying in 'Attack' mode?
I killed a 262 in a Mossie once... got sweet f-all for it.... I was truckin' bombs at the time, so I took off in 'attack' mode.

Well yesterday, Nov. 29th, I was able to shoot down 2 ME262's in one sortie with my B24's. If I remember right, that and the taking out of a VH hanger at a V base, netted me something like 11 perkies. Not many, but sure was fun.! :D
-
I personally don't play for perks just to have fun with it. If I can use a 262 great, if not oh well, there are still tons of others to choose from. But I do see your point.
-
your saying he loses 200, you get 200? no, strongly disagree. why should you be rewarded what he loses just because you killed him? thats like saying i have 5 kills, i die, person who killed me gets my 5 kills. its a stupid idea...why would one even think of it?

this is a better idea...but a 1/4 of it is still a little much...say maybe an 1/8? that would give you 25 perks. more reasonable than 50...

Okay compromise, 1/6th :aok

You shot down a one ping 262????
Wow.
Seriously, one bullet hits the thing and it falls apart. Shoot a .50 call at the windscreen, (even though the real 262 windscreen was engineered to take 20 mm rounds and deflect them), and you die from a pilot wound.
262's really aren't hard to down...if they fly anywhere within 1K of you.

If a fly passes within 10 feet of it you get an engine oil hit. The pilot wound thing always gets me that's why I never attack bombers in one anymore. It doesn't matter the range or what angle I always end up with one. Then you can fly around for 10misn with no blackouts until you drop your flap and gear on final approach. Then if you're lucky you get a ditch with half you crashed plane on the runway.

"If I shoot a 262 down in a D3A, can I get the B-29?"
Yes, thats been the hold up untill now. Get on with it. :)

Yea but most the people who up them have so many perks they could auger them for the next week before caring. I don't care about losing the perks, have plenty more to set on fire.

I rarely ever use perks...... have tons of them.

10k perks 1 month free AH2 :rock

How about throwing some of those my way :)

I think it would be nice to be able to send perks to others. I think it will never happen because it is in place to keep folks from over-using those pieces of equipment. The so called "over-users" have fewer perks in the bank.

Creating an economy like that is never ever ever good for a game in my opinion. You think perk farming is bad now, imagine what it would be like if they could be transferred from player to player. There would undoubtedly be folks who would pay real world money to buy perks, there are in just about every other online game around. Once that starts happening you'll have a flood of "new" players who do nothing but milk run or vulch shades so they can sell perkies.
Bad bad bad bad idea.

If that happened, then the (look above) dweebery to kill one would be even worse. The plane is just fast. Hiting anything with it is almost impossible and fighting with it is also impossible (see above dweeberry again)

Heres what we need. A Perk Pyramid scheme. All new squadies will give percetages of thier earned perks too all other squadies who are higher on the pyramid. This will help build squad cohision by positiviley reforcing behavior that helps squadies reach friendly bases alive and well... :rock

Just shooting a 262 down is reward enough for me. I don't care about the perk points.....I don't use them anyhow. :salute

Ditto, I rarely use them. Sometimes for a c hog or f4u4. Of course I have lost 4 c hogs in a single evening.
