: I'm only looking for consistency in what is perked and what is not. I'm about 8:1 K/D against the XVI this year, so killing them is not the issue.
Ya, it's a holier-than-thou stance you are taking. You audaciously assume everyone has the skills, physical tools, computer hardware, and most importantly: time, to put into the game in order to become proficient enough to have fun(read as get kills now and then) in more "challenging" rides.
Some people have one arm, arthritis, have slowed reflexes due to age, poor eyesight, crippled digits or other health issues. Others have only a few hours each month to play. Others don't have the money to invest in a joystick and must fly with a mouse, or they merely have the most rudimentary stick. To me, it is the height of arrogance to want to perk rides like the spixteen and make it that much harder for these people to have a good time.
