It's not necessarily the "servers" fault. What happens if your ISP causes the disco ... how is HTC responsible for that and how can you prove that it was the HTC server that caused the disco ?

Not something that I would care to try to prove.

...and HTC could tell the difference between a true disco and someone pulling their cable when they get in trouble in a 262, how?

Plus, it's easy enough to get 10+ perks per sorty anyway.

If I am in a hurry to leave the game (IE fire dept gets called out), I alt-F4 the game. I always see either a "you have crashed" or "you have been killed" message just before it shuts down

A while back I've gotten perks back without a film, but just once...because I've been lucky and only disco'ed only once while flying a perk plane.  There use to be a bug with the me262 that caused a disco, but I don't remember the details.
Now...I just don't really care, and usually don't fly the "Hey Hoard, Ho me and kill me now planes".
Nothing wrong with sending a polite email to Skuzzy and asking, he usually responds to email in the morning when he arrives at the office.

If you can't afford to lose the perks dont take the plane out of the hangar. Simple as that.

Hmmm... this reminds me of the guy who whined because he hadn't landed his kills by the time terrain rollover occurred. :rolleyes:

Unless you've earned 45 per points on a mission what's the beef?

Who gives a rat's arse if you've lost 2.5 perk points on a mission?  Re-up and earn some more.  It isn't worth the trouble of trying to record every flight to obtain proof of kills against the possibility of a disco.

So i guess you do lose your perks at the reset if u havernt landed?Well see thats not right, caause it is hard to get to a base and land a 262 in 4 mins!

Well, you should stufy the map before taking off. If one side is down to 2 or 3 bases dont up a 262. So it is right. Pay attention to the map and read all memo's.
