Let's play...………….. Deuces Wild
Let's do this once a month. :x

No one with any real skill needs perk planes. I'll be staying away until good sense returns. That and any skill at all.

wait I take it back--go ahead and give the horde free reign.
good thing I can watch the last 7 seasons of Game Of Thrones or take a nap

Fun setup. First time allowed to fly Tempest and 262, can see why there're perked. :x

Hey People, it's just one day to check out the server. Don't be so grumpy. It's good to have a day off. if it brothers you, go ahead, mow the yard or something.

Yerp, it's all tiger 2s/262s/tempests/b29s.

Not all. Flew against two good F4U4 pilots, Ra and LatinLuv (I think I got that right), with me in an La7. My goodness, that plane is a monster. Glad to have the opportunity to fly it. Good fun. Don't stay away this night because you don't like the plane set. Most of the 262 pilots have no clue how to fly one.

Wow! I really had fun! I have never flown a tempest, but now I have something to burn my thousands of fighter perks in. That thing is fun!

Indeed, I can't say I'm a good player. But once I got into 262 vs 262s suddenly my K/D ratio got way higher - most guys don't know how to fly and maneuver it especially in Jet vs Jet.
It was cool to get into jet once in a while.
Same for Ardo 234. I flew it, hit a target and got home unchallenged.
-
I wonder how many sets of b29's where flying on the dek shooting all those perk planes out of the sky :devil

The 262s 30 mm are suitable to strafe hangars, cookies from 3kft kill hangars and carries nicely despite the huge distance between the individual ships of a b29 formation, and the -4 makes a really nice Jabo. No really unexpected conclusions from this test.

Hush Bubba, or I'll suggest some more tweaks to radar.
No one with any real skill needs perk planes. I'll be staying away until good sense returns. That and any skill at all.
This is very bad news for me.

Good times! :aok

It's awesome.

...and I hope HTC is gathering the server data it wants too :)

It's awesome.
But Wait! THERES MORE!!!
Log in during the next 5 hours and you'll also get a free smokeless ashtray. A $14.95 value and all for the low price of only $14.95

Sarcasm noted. Can also just enjoy it while it lasts. Good fun in the MA in Euro daytime scarce enough.

Me either. Killed two B-29s and a deuce on one sortie in that tub.

I am enjoying it. I just didn't think this thread was obtuse enough.

I'm flying a tempest and ironically turn-fighting all the 262s. It's hilarious and most people fighting. Love it.

People no longer worrying about score.
Frankly, Hitech should hide the scores permanently or just make them career-based so people will fight and have fun.

Exactly, or have a one-way opt-out system.

I could not believe the guys in manned guns last night. Each to their own but they were missing out. You are free as a bird when there are no constraints of lost perks...

I think it was more the novelty of people enjoying being able to fly perk planes without losing perks than anything else, not so much score.
The people who worry about "score" 90% of the time are actually worried about dying most of all, and their flying reflects that. It wouldn't change if you hid the numbers, they'd still know.

RODBUSTR SAID IT WAS VERY UNREALISTIC, AS HE FLEW HIS B-29S INTO COMBAT AT 3,600 FT. :old:

My favorite part of the evening was the players that normal extend out weren't or couldn't...
With the whole score and K/D thing removed the aggression was much better.
Had a great time with that!

Wait, there’s score?! :x

Here's the thing....I never worried about score, and frankly, if you can't get kills in mid or early war planes...you really don't deserve to fly the Uber planes. But I guess there's that certain type of envy that makes men buy fast cars and big guns.

Nah. People who have an ego to protect will avoid dying. If you don't care about what other people think of your score you'll just fly.

wouldn't want a steady diet of it but it was a hoot. all the jets! it was crazy but fun.. might be nice for a once a week thing or maybe even a Friday night deal for a few hours... maybe even get some new players knowing they can get in a jet at no cost.... the low B-29's coming over the base was really something... :banana:
great fun thanks :x

Most of the people who probably could fly any plane won't.
-
We watched a 262 do a Kamikaze run on our carrier. I had to do a double take because for a moment I thought it was a Nakajima Kikka :)
-
The Tempest's guns suck by the way, whats up with them? I strafed a Spixteen and saw at least four pings and he flew on. I also dewinged a Corsair (both of them) and only got an assist. Was a bit surprised. Every crossing shot I generated felt good but no positive outcome. I was unable to give Zakbell a hard time :mad:

'Deserve?' It was about having fun, and it was indeed fun.
You're thinking too much.

Must have been bad luck, in my experience the Tempest guns with their increased rate of fire is really one of the best set of armaments in game. :old:

LOL I have like 50,000 or 60,000 perks. Rarely use them. Sounds like everyone is having a ball though. That is what the whole thing is about.
-

Yes he did :furious That dang feller LatinLUV was a beast in it too! I like the guy...but NOT IN THAT THING :furious He was still in it at 9:30pm est...they were disabled around 3:00pm...a MONSTER FROM HELL(HOUNDS) :bhead I did however enjoy shooting up a bunch of 262's in my wirb. I landed 15 kills TWICE..but Latin LUV landed 29 in his claw :uhoh I had a BLAST. Seemed a lot less EGO was evident....usually get hate mail with 1 or 2 dueces killed. Tonight zero :cheers:
-
Sounds like most had a good time. It was a fun diversion.
-
it was fun Skuzzy maybe we could have that every once in a while with a pre-announcement so we can plan to be on for the fun.
My personal opinion I would not like a steady diet of it but thanks for changing things up a bit for a while. good times :banana: :x
:salute
-
Agree. Maybe once a month for a 24 hr period.
-
Dang it. Missed the fun. :furious
Would of enjoyed a few Tempest rides...but I can do that anytime in the MA... :D
-

Yes!! This is a great idea.
-
it was great fun, I watched pest kill a boat with a 262, fbladd came in with 29s and devoured a town and half the field. swarms and swarms of 262s all night with not a care in the world. everyone was fighting and guns shipping. amazingly very few bases were rolled while I was on and I think it was due to the constant fighting. I had a great time with it. I loved watching 262s roll from capped fields and temps every where like angry bees.
but now we are back to normal blahhhhhhh
-
Yes!! This is a great idea.
For once I agree with ACHOO :old:

Good bye AcesHigh while MA test settings. :salute
-
When I logged into the arena last night there were only 4 players, and no the map had not reset. Lowest numbers I've ever seen. I understand htc has to do testing and I'm perfectly fine with that, but please don't make this a regular event.

Whaa whaaa

Everyone has turned into a Drama Queen around here it seems. People should be thankful HTC is still trying to innovate.
-
YES...BIG FUN :aok Where else and under what conditions could you kill 40 PERK planes(mostly 262) in a wirb and NOT get hate mail :devil The CLAW was too much though....Dang Latinluv should be barred from the CLAW if/when there is a redo :neener: YES HE KILLED ME...a few times...but thats not the point :devil On a side note...Its a damn shame that you folk at HT cant get a break from all the griping and moaning about EVERY LITTLE THING. :rock
-

While there were no score and no perk constraints, there was still the war. And sometimes, a manned gun is the last chance to prevent a capture (e.g. VH down and even a Jet can't get there fast enough to defend).
It's not all about a mindless furball. Not even with free 262s.
-
amazingly very few bases were rolled while I was on and I think it was due to the constant fighting.
Two reasons. Yes, some switched to furball mode. The other reason is that it is pretty difficult to kill defending king tigers when there's jets furballing over the area. Any plane that carries bombs to take down those and town and hangars simply dies too easily under those circumstances (including the B29). No bombs, no capture (we tried strafing with 262s, it somewhat works, but needs too many sorties, rebuild time gets in the way).
-
Small matter really. A lot of Yaks, and LA's still ruining fights. Maybe those should be perked too? Oh, and GV's could use a good perking too. :cheers:

I've always wondered whether this game was developed and maintained primarily to keep us entertained or to make money so that HiTech and his staff can provide for themselves and their families.

It's both. We get something and they get something. It's called capitalism/barter/trade/exchange.
