Title: Ok dumb idea number 999000.1
Post by: 999000 on November 21, 2009, 01:42:27 PM
To increase game fun, how about at the beginning of every tour everyone is given one 262.

300 262's HOing would definitely make an interesting video :lol

Hmm that is an interesting idea. Would you use your 1 free 262 to try and get up and knock out as many others as you can? Or would you not use it for a week or 2 and use it towards the end of the tour with less competition?

good idea, you have that month to use it  :joystick: , then next month a different perkie ride  :joystick: , i think that would add some fun factor back in to the Game and give the new players a chance to fly a perkie.

Fly high ENY fighters and you are given several 262's per month ;)

I like the idea.  I've been getting booted regularly so I'm not using perkies for chance of losing them.  But if you had a free one I wouldnt worry about it as much.

The irony is that to have the skills to fully fly the 262 so that it is worth its perk value, you probably have already earned the requisite perks. Free 262s, as you used to get in H2H, or offline, are not flown well enough to justify their perkage. It's all in balance.

if they give everyone a free 262 per month, there will most probably be some that choose to not use theirs. do they get "roll over" 262's? can they horde them for a couple months, then have 3 or 4? :D :neener:

Not to hijack the thread but!

how about the first day of a new tour, all perks are set to 0 for just 24 hours then set back to normal afterwards.

How about the option of 1 262 or a flight of 3 234's

would make for some interesting bomb runs LOL

Why even perk the 234, it's useless.

Now, bomb perks should be used when taking a heavy bird.  IMO.

Don't care for the 262 idea much, but you did give me another thought.

Each tour we designate one plane for the streak plane.

We then keep track of who has the longest kill streak in that plane. I.E. once you die flying the "Streak Plane" your streak is finished, and you do not get to try again that tour.

And I am thinking a ditch (not capture) is not a death. A disco will also count as a death.

That would promote even more running and timid flying in my opinion.

It would surely depend which plane was chosen as the streak plane - personally, I like the sound of that. There is no chance I'll ever be anywhere near the top of any streak (I've not learned to disengage when things are against me yet lol.....), but it sounds like fun.

Do we announce what the streak plane is? Or do you find out at the end of the tour?

would this include all modes:  Fighter, Attack, Bomber?   or would it be for specific modes? determined at the start of each month.....

variety is the spice of life


That would promote even more running and timid flying in my opinion.

Strip

I do not see how it would promote these. Players would have to actually go for kills, if they were going for the top spot, which would require them to fight.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese

If HTC decides to do this, I would like to see them host it in a way like they did in the Top Fighters of the month, several years back......maybe even offer some sort of prize: Hat, Shirt, etc..... each month.........

just my random thoughts

This "streak" idea has some real merit - it would enhance the use of less active air frames when they were designated as the "streak plane".
At the same time it would certainly promote more historical play style - "always bring your bird back to the crew chief who loaned it to you".

Would the winner receive anything??

- a "free" month??
- 2-3 free 262's the next tour??
- double perks for the next tour??
- maybe just when ever they flew "their" plane icon would be "gold" for the next tour??  <---- make em a target  :lol

On "ditches" would they still get credit for kills or only when they are "landed"??

I'll never be in the run for it but sounds like fun!!

...cheers eh! :D

Sounds good, I like the idea of you only having one shot at it.  Most people suck and will be shot down early on, preventing them from being timid the rest of the month.

Make them 40 ENY planes and i would be all for it. It would be fun to see who can get the most kills in a Hurri 1 or a Spit 1.
