The perk point system is wicked and weird!
No matter, what Skuzzy says.

Here is the point:

1. I took off the P38(cost at EWA 9 perks)
2. I shot down 2 Ju88
3. I landed and ditched cause of engine failure
4. I loosed perks more than I have earned
5. I am pissed off
6. I`m writing to HTC Forum
7. I`m falling...

Most likely the Ju88s we have are an early version so you'd get less perks for shooting one down if you are in a plane with a higher perk value.

ack-ack

Well you lost the plane. You ditched. You had to pay the price.

How does that work ...

If he bought the plane for 9 perks and say each JU88 was +1 perk and he crashed the plane I would think that it would go like this ...

+9 - Original cost
-9 - Lost due to crash
+1 - Killed a JU88
+1 - Killed a JU88
-----
+2

How would one come to a negative number ? ... remember HT said that perk cost of the plane is what you started the sortie with ... so if the perk cost did increase during the sortie, it would not impact what you paid for the plane.

I had the same thing happen to me in a Tiger last night ... bought it for 60 perks ... killed multiple panzers ... died .... -67.82 perks ... go figure.

P38 ENY 5 Cost 9.

Let say ju88 has ENY 20.

ju88 kill
+ (5/20) .25
ju88 kill
+ (5/20) .25
p38 death
-9
__________
-8.5

Thats acceptable ... how do you explain losing more than the original cost of the plane ... he lost -9.71 perks ... and I lost -67.82 perks.

It leads me to believe that you are calculating ...

-9 (Original Cost)
-.71 (Perks earned)
--------
-9.71

-60 (Original Cost)
-7.82
--------
-67.82

doesnt look like you are +adding the perks earned.

Please 'splain Lucy.

p38 ENY 5 shooting down a ju88 ENY 20

Would only earn 0.25 perk points.
Perk points awarded are calced by "shooter plane" / "plane killed" i.e 5 / 20

Also the cost of the plane is caclulated by the host, right at fly time.

What is displayed can be slight behind in time with the real host value.I.E real cost could have been 10 or more

that would be my guess. the cost of the aircraft when you roll is the cost you're billed if you lose the aircraft.

If the cost was 10-11 when you rolled then -9.71 seems about right.

Golfer · « **Reply #8 on:** October 19, 2006, 05:46:32 PM »

Also...you didn't ditch according to that. You crashed and died.

B@tfinkV · « **Reply #9 on:** October 19, 2006, 05:49:00 PM »

so if i had 150 fighter perks, and due to low numbers on my team i could afford an ME262 @ 150 perks. i take off in my 262 and fly around for an hour without killing anything. during this hour my team numbers treble as the US prime time kicks in. on landing my ME262 i crash into a tree at a time when the value of an ME262 is 300 perks.

would i go down to -150 perks.

hitech · « **Reply #10 on:** October 19, 2006, 05:49:54 PM »

No Batfinkv.
Lets say you had 156 perks when you flew.

after crash you would have 6 perk points remaining.

the math is wrong somewhere then

As an example, I pull up the clipboard, wanting to wreck some perfectly good RAF planes. Spit8 is 15 perks. Perfect, I like crashing Spits. I select it, and as I get ready to click on NE, I notice I've got the wrong fuel load. I click here and there, setting my fuel load, and in the mean time, 10 more whatever-country-I-am log in. The perk mult changes before I takeoff and the Spit costs 19 perks when I finally hit the runway button. I immediately KS myself trying to steal a squaddie's kill, and bam, there go 19 perks.

WTF IT SAID 15 PERKS!

Well, yeah, it was 15 when I first looked, but it was 19 when I took off. I swore there was something buggy about the perk rides, and after repeated assurances it worked, I finally figured this out.

OK say in EW I get a perked 38 and it's 16 perks.... when I take off.... Now bear with me on this as "me" landing kills is a rarity and also frowned upon by our C.O. Anyway I go out and shoot down 3 spits, 2 109s and 1 190... I know I know but just pretend I did.... ok on the way back I'm still in shock from scoring actual kills and I am under stress because it looks like I may land some and get called out on the carpet by our C.O. as I touch down on the runway I panick and wreck my 38... if my 38 is in 4 pieces as I stop and also on the runway.... would I get my 16 perks plus 3 x 16 perks counting each piece of my 38 and then get the perks for the kills I had.....

WOW yall read all that

hmmmm shuffler that is a good question.

Guppy may be able to shed some light on that scenario for you. I understand he regularly makes a good solid one point landing with each piece (there are several I understand) of his P38.
