because you fly more then others doesn't mean you'll have alot of perk points.
Thats a misconception.
12 kills in p51d vrs 12 kills in 205 same time online the 205 guy could end up with a toejame load depending on what plane they killed.
I have runs in 109g2 109g6 and 205 all in the 40s and a bunch of different times.
My squadie has had killer perk runs in a 205
Here a quote from our squad bbs (hope he dont mind, name withheld to to proctect him from the typical head hunters)
Just when I thought it was my worst night in weaks, I manage 10 kills in one sortie, all were N1K2-J's, I landed on the hot strip outa ammo, got 5 assists too, love those Berada 12.7mm's. Then I went to see what I got, MAN O MAN 50 freaking ftr perks! I love My 205
This squaddie even had a run of 54.99 perks in a gv. (no gv perks vehicles yet)
and he could give a crap about flying perk planes.
How long do you think it took to get them 1o kills.
My squaddies get runs of 20-25 easily, my highest was a few tours ago at 51.
Now of course these are way above average. I usually get 9 - 12 per sortie.
I lost numerous 262s (12 maybe) to landing accidents/compression etc. I only have 4 recorded as deaths I had 3500 perks when the 262 was introduced. I still have over 2100.
Another squaddie resubbed this tour earns enough fer a 262 every other day.
Time online should only mean you should have a crapload if you fly and kill the right plane.
Eny value is where perks are at.
Even a novice flying a spit can earn 8 perks in 3-4 sorties.
Anyway having fun is the important thing but if you really wanna fly a perk plane you dont have to spend 170 hrs online to get it.
edit
spitfires are ugly as all heck.........mustang looks ok but for pour sexy beauty nothing beets a tank.
