Perk Points
« on: March 20, 2011, 09:50:12 PM »
  Just a thought, but how about changing it so perks are given more to the guys that die more, either through being new, or rewarding others with kills by not being afraid of dying. The guys who dont die alot, really dont need the perks. Just a thought.

  Of course only rewarded if shot down, not a crash or killshot.

funny you should mention that...thinking the same. if, for example, ack ack is so good in his beloved P-38, he should be just as good in, say, a P-51, or an F4F?

You need to earn the right to fly good planes, not the other way around (just like real life). For example in real life if your a crappy pilot you'll be flying a UAV not an F-22.

People are good in the airplane that they know best. If you give me a spit16, la7, niki, k4 or 262 I will suck in it because I don't know it as well.

My ISP Bigpond has been working on taking my perkies over the past week or so, I logged on the other night in time to see a HQ raid inbound, quickly upped a 163 and after a few minutes my connection dropped out. Next day, I log in, a squaddie is calling out Grab 262's and come to base X, a few minutes later, connection drops out, Oh, dont forget the formation of b29s.  :old:

You think P-51 is harder than a P-38?

Ack-Ack has also been playing sims for long time, and it took a lot of practice to get to where he is. He earned all his perks.

When I die it is generally for one or two reasons.

I am in the enemy horde.

I get killed on even terms

If you are fighting against a horde, bets are that you will have a hefty perk bonus, thus granting you more perks per kill.

Giving perks to new guys, IMO isn't needed, they need to get kills iot get better and be able to master the perked planes, what do you think a 2 weeker is going to do with a 262?

but you can be entitled to perks, no? shoot down 10 planes, you are entitled to x amount of perks?
