And we used to have a CIA F-16 pilot... but he got stung by a scorpion and had to quit life.

Going on what Tilt said, I totally agree the attaboys are influencing people to fly planes like the lgay7. They are able to fly that plane and get away form the furball without much worry. What Ive noticed though not many that fly the la7 get more than 5 kills the most. Usually its those that fly the more challanging planes that are worth congratulating on such as the 38, 47, etc. Planes that arent easily able to get away from fights and still able to get many kills should get the attaboys more.

I wont give a or a wtg to a pilot that think ooh I got 8 kills in a lgay7, just equals ez mode plane and not taking much skill. In a way its not so bad because they wont get that many perks which too many people think are so important. Once that ENY limiter kicks in not many know what other plane they can fly and hardly get a kill.

Just shows that too many people require ez mode planes. Not trying to be offensive or anything but these ez mode planes are really not commenderable as it doesnt require much skill.

Not trying to hijack this thread but anything that has a ENY of 5 should be perked including lgay7, dweebfire 16, and all planes with ENY of 5. Most of those planes that have a ENY of 5 are ez mode and cant think of one that isnt except maybe the 152 but not saying it shouldnt be.

The perk system is fundamentally flawed, in my opinion. The only perk planes that don't have a corresponding "free plane" are the 262 and 163. Those are probably priced about right, I think.

The rest of the perk planes don't have anything more to offer than the La7 or Spit 16, so they may as well be unperked.

I would tend to agree that a period where all piston engined planes were free of perk price would allow HTC to re assess a perk system which now largely pre dates AH's ac set and the present styles of game play.

This would probably be ove a complet tour..maybe two.

I agree with Horoach and Urchin on those last to points. To much stupid ribbing and childish behaviour over a game. Some of these people seem stuck in the child mental state having studied a bit of pshycology i get that impression. Also the people who try to dictate how people fight is silly, if you pay for the game you can fight any way you want i don't care. As Leslie stated earlier who said he/she runs because their a coward i see NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, they don't have to fight me. Sometimes i disengage to get an advantageous position against a spit that wants me to play his game of turning on the deck I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, then they complain and say i was running. When i swoop down and use my advantage of speed and altitude and pick them i hear them crying on 200 about it. It's not fair to me to give up my advantage and fight someone on their terms, nor is it fair for them to do the same, i wouldn't expect them to fight my way in fact that would be unwise. This is the truth, do what you do, and let them cry iv'e been picked, vulched anyway you name it, i just say oh well good job, theres no fair play in war, play it as such and you'll be fine.

That's fine i'm sure there are several if not a whole lot more real life pilot's in the game, i was talking about the people who are not, and get all wrapped up. I'm an actual pilot as is Mars i understand and i'm sure we've both been totally beaten by someone who's never touched a real control stick in their life, it really makes no difference.

If it makes no difference then why bring it up?

If you don't want to fight or interact with people then fly offline... what you should be doing is petitioning HT to make the offline drones give out polite replies.

I like that idea. A re-assessment period. Bravo.

Check out the threads active....some asking for tighter perks, some for no perks at all.

Likely no changes coming, IMHO

I still think the best kills for me, and this goes back to AW on genie, the ones that make me feel nice and fuzzy, are the ones where the target doesnt know Im there...I think it takes skill, with radar and all the check 6'in that goes on here, to be able to sneak up on a perked hog or a 51 and get under 200 on his low 6 and tap the button.

lazs2 · « **Reply #87 on:** May 11, 2006, 02:21:07 PM »

well... you could also petition to have the offline drones have their own BB where they would give out polite answers and agreement no matter what drivel was posted.

Uhhh ... an awful lot of kills in WW2 happened when one guy didn't see the other sneaking in on him.
