A couple of weeks ago 262 was finally perked low enough for me to use in the main arena. Had about 148 fighter perks at the time. Uneventful flight...no kills, although, just as I came to a stop (on the runway), I ran out of fuel. I /.ef and check my score... down to 78 perks. Hmmmm....
Tonight I re-up once in a 51 and land 6 kills. (The best sortie I've had). My score is 0.87.
What gives? The perk modifier was something like 1.16.

""Possible Personal Porked Perk Problem ""
can you say that fast, 5 times?

Well, I'm not real clear on how that whole 'sliding scale' for perk point costs goes, I suppose it is possible that when you took off it was worth 200 points, but when you landed it was only worth 130 (due to changing numbers) so you lost points that way?
As far as the P-51 goes, you are never going to rack up any significant perk points in it. It has a ENY value of 10, so unless you kill a perk plane, you are only going to get 1 perk per kill, tops. Typically, it will be less than that. I've got no idea what you killed, but lets say your side has a perk modifier of 1.2, and you kill 6 202s in a P-51D. Well, 10/60 = .16 perks per kill. .16x6= 1. 1x1.2= 1.2 perks, for 6 kills. And that is assuming none of them were proxy kills, which happens quite often. A proxy kill, in case you didn't know, does not give you any perks. On the other hand, just to give you a different example, lets say you are in a 202 and manage to kill 6 P-51Ds. 60/10= 6. 6x6=36, 36x1.2= 43.2 perks. There is another modifier for landing them, I think it is 1.25, but it might have changed.

Hey that'd be cool.....buy a 262 when it's cheap and only .ef when numbers have dropped again and it's worth a shed load more! :D

That explains it. 2 kills were by proximity and one was a C47..BUT... one was a 262 kill where I caused him to compress and he augered. So even tho' the perks weren't there the satisfaction was. :)
Thanks for the lesson.
