109G2, 109G6, P38G, Zeros, F4Fs all middle of the road planes. lots of fun to fly, and all earn perks pretty quick. I have almost 5k I'm not using, plan on selling mine on Ebay  :devil

dam!! i only have about 2k.......but then whereas you probably use em, then have to regain them, i never fly perk rides........ :D

If your cv is capping a base the uppers that will up will probably up with spixteens or some other dweeb plane. Bring the first zero (eny of 40) and vulch one of them. When you land you will probably get like 15 perks (depending on perk point bonus of course). Or bring a 190a8 into a cv furball and kill some pts or planes.  :aok

One time I got 36.85 perks for shooting down 3 planes in an A6M2.  If you can pull it off and find fights that suit it, the A6M2 is a good perk farmer.  Other times you fly around chasing the fight all day, but never actually get to shoot anything.

Failing that I'd try one of the P38s.

If you ever need bomber perks, fly the B-25H and hit fields or strats.  If you stay around on a strat and use up all of your ords you can quite easily land 20 perks (with a perk point bonus of 2 or so I think).  Staying around on a field will give you even more perkies.

Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

I scored 28 perks one day killing 2 Spits with a Hurri I and then dying.  Fly any high ENY plane and kill something in it if you want quick perks.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

fly a spit9 into every furball you can find.  I gained about 700 perks in a week doing that.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the 190A-8.  Most competitive perk farmer out there.

I was going to say it in my first post, but basically the only thing you can truly do is cherrypick...well all I can do anyway.

Perk farming you say? Well now, the FM-2 is just about the sweetest little ride to do that in.

Could BnZ/E fight so some degree, do some overshoot fighting against your average Pony.

Most kills in large fights are some variant of the pick anyway.

  The Art of Perk Farming:


 Take any 20+ eny plane,fly on a side with least players,shoot down uber planes!!!

 Seriously,just fly some high eny planes for a tour the perks will build.I usually fly 20 or above eny planes and have been able to build up my perks even though I rarely fly in the mains.

I suppose, from what I've seen it can't, but I don't fly it that much so.

Well honestly, for 25 ENY instead of 35 ENY, you can get yourself a FW-190 A-5 and probably be happier with it.

And a P-40E can in many respects do more than either.

But liking what you are flying is equally as important as performance sometimes.
