Title: On Behalf of the Update.
Post by: hgtonyvi on January 21, 2015, 01:10:31 PM
On behalf of the Update/New Patch I would like for something to be added. Please Perk The La-7, 190-d9, p51D. The reason for this is that these types of planes are Flown alot in the MA and they just like to run. Its not fun chasing one of these guys for 2 sectors. By Perking these rides it will limit the amount of times u see these planes and AH community will begin to see different planes that You Hardly see folks flying. It will make the game more fun and more challenging because thos models i listed above won't necessarily be able to run away anymore unless they pay the perk price. BTW I'm not saying Perk them at a high rate like tempest or something. Just maybe 5-10 perks.  :salute :salute

-1 it is a late war areana.

If you want something that can't out run your early or mid war aircraft. Fly in there.

Try a P-38.  Most will not run from a p-38 but you have a plane capable of beating all the fast planes.  You just have to stay a live long enough for them to make a mistake.  Often that mistake is getting target fixated  Fast plane people tend to lose their ACM skills over time or never learn ACM.  Of course there are some fine exceptions to this rule of thumb.  I will also note running is a good tactic if you lose the opportunity to win.

If they run, throw your shoulders back and assume you scared the crap out of them.

Why would you chase someone two sectors, was it not evident long before that that they were faster than you?

Atleast Perk the LA-7. I would play in the Mid War Arena but no one plays in there.

problem is rudeboi you start with the la7 then you have to do the P51d, 109k4, 190D, spit 14-16, ta152 etc.

People will just gravitate to the next quickest / easiest plane.  I've always wondered what the mid war arena would have turned out like when HT first classified into EW, MW, LW.   Everybody complained that they couldn't fly what they wanted in Late war, after a day or two he changed his mind and enabled all planes in LW essentially ending any chance EW / MW had.

The quality of fights would have been better overall with more similar styled planes.

-1 is my opinion

But till you get your wish (if you ever do) either don't chase them, climb higher than them so you can catch them, or fly something as fast, or faster than them....

I too hate run-90's and pee-51's because they use their speed to run all the time, but the cool thing is it's the only thing in their bag of tricks.  When you catch one, it's often easy to kill them because they have spent so much time running, they don't know how to fight.  99% of Puny drivers (sorry, Pony drivers), couldn't buy a reverse, much less execute one.

Suggestion, fly a P-47M.  It's almost as fast as the speed demons, dives better, and I love the dive flaps.  I can't tell you how many 51's I have gotten to auger behind me because they were silly enough to follow me into compression.  

It's also fun to show up with a little more alt than them.  Pretty much every pony I see hits the deck after seeing anything co-E.

perking might just make them run more

If anything I think the Wirble should be perked just a little bit. I haven't seen an Osti or M16 in years, and why would you take one when you can grab a free quad 20mm of death?

For bombers attacking your vehicle base or port, they often stay just above wirbel range. The M16 however is the P40C of the AA vehicles ;)

Last years plane kill distribution between them: Wirbel 81%, Ostwind 15%, M16 4%

Well that's a badge of honor for anyone who's gotten a kill in an M-16. There should be an achievement for that.

The C model and -4 Corsairs are perked and the P-51 is as good or better.  I could see maybe the La-7,190 D9 and 109 K4 perked a little.

Given how long it takes to champion causes in this game. You may have a better shot at asking HiTech to create a perked class of ETO allied fighters that run on 150 octane fuel to run down those you are trying to effectively get neutered. Realistically that would be the P51D, Spit14 and Tempest. Then you make sure they get a big bold Icon from 6k in like:

P51D-Perk
sp14-Perk
Tmp-Perk

The 150 octane 51 and spit14 outmatched the K4 on WEP. I'm throwing in the Tempest for the irritation factor. Most players with perks to burn would take the 51 since it handles better for MA combat at the speed ranges you are attempting to neuter.

I've never seen HiTech add a perk to long standing unperked rides. I've seen him unperk two in almost 15 years.

Always thought that if ever ordinance perks were introduced then the 3 cannon load out on the  La7 would qualify.

"Boo hoo!!!  MY enemy isn't flying the plane I think they should fly and they are also flying that plane's strengths.  That is crap.  I pay my money for this game and they should all fly like me.  I have been playing for 38 years and anyone that flies a pee 51 or twit 16 is a newb POS that doesn't know how to do anything right!  We need to perk all the rides except the Buffalo or Storch.  That way I can continue to dominate anybody that tries to get into AH.  I can't let my e-peen shrivel.  If you don't have a gazillion perk points, then you suck and need to go back to war thunder or WOW.  stupid news or anybody that flies a plane they love."  I hope I paraphrased that accurately.   I really hate this crap.  I don't usually stoke these fires, but sometimes I get a drink in me and can't help it.  My name is Shake, and I approve this message.  FLAME ON!!! :furious

So you're saying I've been doing it wrong all this time?  I far prefer the Osti to the Wirb.

-4 is probably the best plane in the game... C Hog has the best gun package in the game

Most of the planes mentioned in the thread don't need to be perked, just need to have the entire ENY looked at.

Maybe a weekly poll for each of the Aircraft that have had a lot of ENY/Perk threads in the wish list section then HTC can make their decision with that

So could I have 109K4 C3 then?  :banana:

I'd pay perks for a 150 octane Mosquito Mk VI....

With the ease in which perks can be earned, I ask "Why not?"

That goes for the P51D, P38L, La7, Spit 16, and the Lancs/B24's/B17's.
