Title: Perk Points
Post by: FiLtH on March 20, 2011, 09:50:12 PM
  Just a thought, but how about changing it so perks are given more to the guys that die more, either through being new, or rewarding others with kills by not being afraid of dying. The guys who dont die alot, really dont need the perks. Just a thought.

  Of course only rewarded if shot down, not a crash or killshot.

funny you should mention that...thinking the same. if, for example, ack ack is so good in his beloved P-38, he should be just as good in, say, a P-51, or an F4F?

You need to earn the right to fly good planes, not the other way around (just like real life). For example in real life if your a crappy pilot you'll be flying a UAV not an F-22.

People are good in the airplane that they know best. If you give me a spit16, la7, niki, k4 or 262 I will suck in it because I don't know it as well.

My ISP Bigpond has been working on taking my perkies over the past week or so, I logged on the other night in time to see a HQ raid inbound, quickly upped a 163 and after a few minutes my connection dropped out. Next day, I log in, a squaddie is calling out Grab 262's and come to base X, a few minutes later, connection drops out, Oh, dont forget the formation of b29s.  :old:

You think P-51 is harder than a P-38?

Ack-Ack has also been playing sims for long time, and it took a lot of practice to get to where he is. He earned all his perks.

When I die it is generally for one or two reasons.

I am in the enemy horde.

I get killed on even terms

If you are fighting against a horde, bets are that you will have a hefty perk bonus, thus granting you more perks per kill.

Giving perks to new guys, IMO isn't needed, they need to get kills iot get better and be able to master the perked planes, what do you think a 2 weeker is going to do with a 262?

but you can be entitled to perks, no? shoot down 10 planes, you are entitled to x amount of perks?

Sure but you have to earn thous perks, if you earn them than you are entitled to them.

It depends on the perk bonus, for example.

When the perk multiplier is at 1: (all the countries are even numbers, or about.)

If you shoot down a Spitfire Mk. 16 in a Spitfire Mk. 16, both 5 ENY planes, you will get one perk.

The ENY of each plane is divided by each other.

ENYa / ENYb

Then that number, in this case 1, is multiplied by the perk bonus of 1, you get one perk for the kill.

It goes the same for all planes, even bombers. If you nice there is a number for OBJ, this number represents the destructiveness of that aircraft, all fighters have an OBJ of 10.0.

Bomber's OBJ are different depending on their destructive loads, the B29 is the lower end of the spectrum for OBJ meaning you will get less perks for destroying something than if you were in a B5N, the upper end of the spectrum at 40 OBJ.

I am not sure what the ENY of a town building, or other objects are, meaning what number they are given to plug into the equation for perk outcome. (OBJa / OBJb) * perk multiplier.

the pre-paid credit cards you can get at gas stations and drug stores will work.


basically anything with a CC number and expiration date.

  My wish wasnt so much about giving people free perks for dyin, as it was to make people not afraid to fight because they wont get as many perks if you die. Selfish wish I know, but it came from the heart.

i got my flame suit on for this one, here goes......

i think that if your flying a perked ride, and you shoot someone down in it, then they REUP &shoot you down, you ether should only lose a fraction of the perks you pair, or none at all.


ive had many times when im flying perked fighters in EW or perked buffs in LW, i'll shoot a guy down, just for him to reup after me again.


worst case i ever had was in my b29, had fought off a 110&pony, then this guy shows up in a typhoon. i was about to shoot him down, but not without heavy damage myself (including losing my tail gun).

he then REupped in a 262, tracked me down and killed me.

it just doesnt seem right, losing your perkies to a guy you allready killed 2-3 times before in that sortie.


flame away gents, flame away.

Yeah, debit card/credit card, different payment methods but most of the time if you see credit card, you can assume a debit card will also be accepted.  I've been using my debit card since day one, they simply withdraw the $14.95 once a month.

I have a visa debit card, its one of the most useful things in my wallet. I only ever make sure there is just enough in there to do want I need and have little fear of getting ripped of of the balance of my credit card online.
