lol I LOVE CAPS LOCK. MY REASONS FOR THE POST ARE TO MAKE GAME PLAY MORE LEGITIMATE. NO AIRCRAFT IS A GAME CHANGER IN GAME WHEN RELATED TO A POST THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT THEM IN REAL WORLD VS IN GAME. I ENJOY FIGHTING AGAINST ALL RIDES IN ACES HIGH. I LIKE TO FLY THE TA-152 MYSELF.....BUT SOMETIMES IT IS TOO EASY. RELATING THIS TO THE WAY FSO PLAYS FOR INSTANCE. IN THE CURRENT SETUP THEY HAVE MINIMUMS AND MAXIMUMS BASED ON USAGE. AS THE FRAMES PROGRESS THERE ARE LESS OF A PARTICULAR PLANE DUE TO ATTRITION BEING FACTORED IN. IN GAME. ALL PLANES AND RIDES WOULD STILL BE AVAILABE TO EVERYONE,THE SAME AS THE B-29,T-34/85,MOSSIE 16 AND OTHER ARE. IF ANYBODY IS WHINING ABOUT THE COST OF A FEW PERK POINTS,THEN I HAVE TO WONDER WHAT KIND OF A PERSON THAT REALLY IS,AFTER ALL, PERKS ARE EASY TO GET,AND EASY TO USE. :rofl
So now you are saying perk the 152 because it's too easy? Are you aware of the La7, P51, Spit 16, Nik2 or any other plane in the game?!?
Spit 16's aren't all that easy to fly, specially if someone doesn't know what they are doing.
I think you've missed the point and your caps lock fetish destroys any real or imagined legitimacy you feel your argument has. You need to learn to Internet better.
Who reads posts in all-caps? Pfft. Get a grip, man.
Spit 16's aren't all that easy to fly, specially if someone doesn't know what they are doing.
The 152 was already perked at one time. It was proven that it should not be.
The p47m isn't that great. It is a decent plane to say the least but unless you are in a group of p47s it really doesn't stand out among the crowd.
The Chog and 4hog are perked.
Perks are not about the production of the plane. It's about what would happen if everyone in the MA flew temps, it obviously would not be that fun.
Can we all stfu about the caps-lock and just read the god dang post at least it's still in freakin English.
Thats right, lets stop talking about caps lock.
Yes it's like a 3 year-old complaining that his PB & J was cut in triangles and not halfs.
Just to clarify, I was that 3 year old. . .like all I ask is for halfs and I can't get that?
BECAUSE TALKING ABOUT STOPPING TALKING ABOUT CAPS LOCK FOR A DOZEN MORE POSTS IS SUPPORTING THE OP. :D :cheers:
Thats right, lets stop talking about caps lock.
Perking based on historical production numbers gets you stupid results such as perked C.205s and free La-7s, perked easy kill aircraft like the Brewster and free highly capable aircraft like the Spitfire Mk XVI. It simply doesn't work in the context of the game.
So if everyone in the arena flew N1K's and Spit16's and LA7's . . . that would be fun?
If you take away peoples laming rides, they whine and piss and moan and quit and go play something else.
People say "Go to the DA!" or "Go to the AVA!" the problem is, the DA is a cesspool half the time... it's like if the Lord of the Flies community was left to its own devices for 40 years and you then happen upon it.
The AVA is a ghost town.
Then you have Early War and Mid-War... Early war is for 2 kinds of people:
1. People trying to game and/or pad scores
2. Weirdos
Mid-War is for 3 kinds of people:
1. People trying to game and/or pad scores
2. Weirdos
3. People who want to fly in the MA but the MA is down
So in the end, everyone comes back to the MA because that's where all the people are.
And everyone can be all like:

About the Bronie hordes, and the Hair-dryers, and the mudwraslin GV drivers with the Electrolarynx 18-pack-a-day drunkin ranged spam, and the spam on 200 that simultaneously saps both the soul and ones overall cognitive reasoning abilities...
But in the end, nothing major is going to change... your only options are:
Denial
- Just up from another base, try the aforementioned weirdo arenas, maybe switch squads or countries... try shading for awhile
Anger
- Start a goat rodeo on General (go ahead and check that box in this case) in an attempt to fire up your base in a grass roots movement to get things changed.
Bargaining
- Come up with a well-reasoned treatise and present it on the wishlist where it will be violently savaged. If you can get HiTech to comment, you get extra points. (If you can get HiTech to send you a cease and desist PM, it's like a hidden achievement)
Depression
(This one is kind of a fork, but they each lead to the same place)
Option A: Become an absolute trainwreck... embarrass yourself, destroy your reputation, get chatbanned in game. A forum PNG is the "boss-level fight" for this option.
Option B: Become sullen and withdrawn. Continue to squeak about things, but only passive-aggressively. Become absurdly good at Aces, especially in one specific ride. Be so good in that ride that even though everyone knows you're a butt-hole, they only actualy say "Man, he's an awesome 38 driver!" (or whatever plane... as long as it's a 38 or something German... MAYBE a P-47, but only if you're especially butt-holish)
Option C: Go play something else. Once you start having retarded dreams about dropping torpedos on a task force and surviving, that's your cue that it's time to come back.
Acceptance
- Stop caring, play the game, and violently savage posts by those in the Anger/Bargaining phases.
- Make big plans to create a map for the MA. Download all the stuff for it. Realize exactly what you've gotten yourself into. Stop.
- Possibly consider becoming a CM. Read a few PMs that CMs are treated to. Reconsider.
- Drink more, fly early/midwar rides in the MA.
So tunnelrat what is YOUR definition of weirdo's? I have found that MW has some really great nice and friendly people playing there regardless of what chess piece they support. :furious
Tunnelrat, (which is really just a Mole), that's oneof the finest posts I have ever read. thank you sir, made my day, and from hence forward I will feel guilty when I gleefully blow you out of the sky. :salute
Arlo, your Doxy's are like Aces High.
Everyone wants one, and keeps trying in the face of logic or reality, without wanting to invest any time into changing themselves to be attractive to them. And all cheer on queue for the few who regularly win their attentions but, secretly hope a bus hits them while on the way to their next date.
Aces High, either you are one of the few getting some, or the many dreaming about buses.
Personally I prefer short buses. They are more maneuverable.
The P47M is a Beast!I agree...
P47M is a beast...but not a perkable one IMO. Fine plane and in the hands of an experienced cartoon pilot quite deadly but not a potential game changer when it shows up to a fight.Something is wrong in the space time continuum when you and I agree on something... Are the end times here? :noid

I have thought adding production numbers to a plane balance system would help. Its a shame the OP choose all caps to bring up a good discussion.The problem is that you made them up. Your numbers aren't based on historical production, but on what you think should be available to the player. Lets say you get 1 of a type per tour for every 250 built, but not less than 1, otherwise rounded to the nearest whole number. Ok, a single Ta152, Ostwind, Wirbelwind, F4U-1C, but also a single Brewster, C.205, Spitfire F.Mk IX (system will actually allow more Mk XVI's than any other kind of Spitfire) and so on. It gives six Me262s, four Spitfire Mk XIVs, three Fw190D-9s, two N1K2-Js. Twelve to fourteen Ki-84s and a whopping thirty-three P-51Ds. As you can see, the numbers are all over the place and not related at all to the power of the unit.
It would be interesting to have a historical production numbers plane balance system but perking isn't it in my opinion. Any player should have access to a 262 as an example but say you get only one 262 per tour. Crash it, damage it, or get killed and it is gone. Same thing on the P47M, 152 and so on. You might get say 150 P51s and 200 P38ls per tour. I made these numbers up as a WAG example only.
Missions might offer an exception by not counting against your personal hanger but still have a balance restriction like having only one P47M per mission.

Personally, I'd rather fight against these planes than running temps, 190Ds, and p51s, but that is just me.
