Some of you may have noticed that the Ar234 has gotten drowns.(:D good right, wrong:mad: )
I flew it erlear this morning, under cost it said 61.
I has taking off when a lone p51 came down and got all three
(He probable got 50 perks for it)
I went to another airfield to try it again but I only hand 11.3
perks left, I lost
226 perks :mad:
I don't think that this should have been they should have notified us of the change or gust left it as the one bomber.
:confused: What do you think?

Hitech answered in a thread that Whels started last week or so that the perk cost you see in the hangar may not in fact be the cost of your plane due to the dynamic way that the perk costs are figured. As far as losing perks for 3 planes....well what did you expect?

Sling,
You misunderstand him. He's not talking about the side balancing perk price modifier, he's talking about the fact that taking a formation of Ar234s costs three times what it used to to take the Ar234 before formations were introduced.
A) The bombsight was changed from a laser sight to a more realistic and less accurate sight.
B) Bombers were changed to allow formations so that a player could take a useful war load to compensate for the reduced accuracy.
C) The Ar234 now costs three times as much for approximately the same effectiveness it had with the laser sight. Furthermore the Ar234 is VERY likely to shed its drones losing 2/3rds of the perk points the formation cost.
MY suggested solution:
The Ar234 should cost 60 perks regardless of whether or not a formation was taken, and all 60 perks should be returned to the player even if only one Ar234 survives to land.
Alternately you could have a single Ar234 cost 60 perks, and a formation cost 180 perks but have all perks redeemed if even one Ar234 lands.

Gee Karnak....I understood him just fine. He said the perk cost was at 61 and he took a formation. Then later he said that he lost 226 points. 61 X 3 does not equal 226 perk points. That is why I mentioned what HT said in Whels' thread earlier.

Why are we even debating this? Just fly the damn B-17 like everyone else!
