First off, thank you for correcting my spelling, because yes that adds so much more to the post. And everyone is getting the wrong idea about the post i started this with. If i was complaining i would have made some condecending remarks, about other styles, and whined an complained. Well i didn't. I Asked a few of the questions that were on my mind, stated an opinion, and tried to briefly explain it. key word briefly. Now since this is an open forum i figured i would get some responses from others explaining there views. All i wanted was to start a discussion. And yes i know my spelling sucks.
You started it, but you rattled the cage too hard. Now back to Perks. Personally, I can careless about perks because I rarely fly em. I'll fly the 152 every now and then, or the 262 and 163 even less than the 152. So, why do I have a "decent amount" of perks? I choose to fly "High Eny" planes. I'm sorry that I land kills in a Spit 1 or Hurri 1. I'm sorry that I fly the 190F4, 38G, Ki61, Spit5, and D11. I enjoy the challenge of taking a "POS P40B" and landing kills. A couple of years back I flew the La7 exclusively and became very bored with it, it was "too easy" to land kills in the 8+ range. I lost the fire for a few months.
Fun to me isn't taking a Niki, witnessing a good one on one, barrel in ruining a fight and claiming to be the cat's arse for acting like a d*ck. Fun to me isn't taking a perfectly good turner like the La7 (it IS one of the best turners in the game) and when someone realizes they're in deeper than they should be, rev and HO. Fun to me is shooting down Rank potatos strafing a city in the middle of nowhere for "lowering the bomber or attack ranking". Fun to me is eliminating a spawn camper (ask FireHwk about that). Fun to me is clearing a countrymates 6 when other's "blow by them", because I know for some Rooks that this is recipricated back to me. Fun to me is grabbing a goon or M3 for a base capture, supplying a field or vehicles.
Edbert is right, and there are a few of us left. "The thing worth fighting for is the fight itself." If you lose sight of this, it's time to stop paying and leave.
